[Steinbruchsoldat]

Made both bearing supports for the drive shaft:

Also started machining the first half of the drive shaft with the disc flange:

Finished machining the first part of the drive shaft:

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Finished machining the second part of the drive shaft:

Fit`s perfect:

Everything finished:

Bolted together:

On it`s place:

And picked up the steel that i need to finish it:

Dude, where did you learn to work the lathe? Don't tell me YouTube Those are some sweet parts you're manufacturing in your workshop. Is the poster helping keep you motivated?

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

I learned a few basic things at school. but i taught most myself and with some trial and error... :ylsmoke::Wow1:

Was a bit handicapped today:

Mocked everything up:

Finished welding and drilling:

Everything together and placed a belt:

Added some new style grease zerks:

Started building the sanding wheel mount:

Machined the shaft:

Mount:

Everything finished:

Those excentric things will be used to tension the belt:

One side tacked together:

This is going to be a big ********, it already weights about 400 pounds with the motor ...

Nice job!

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Started building the contact wheel mount:

On it`s place:

Stand mocked up:

First time standing on it`s own:

Welds:

Also upgraded the fuses, so i`m able to run the motor...

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Started mounting the motor today:

The blade is impressive!

What fuses? I hope you're not referring to your home electrical system...

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

The blade is impressive!

This will be converted to a sanding disc...

What fuses? I hope you're not referring to your home electrical system...

Yes i do. Why not? Everything is fine and according to the law... One of the advantages if your dad is an electrician...

 

[AeroNautiCal]

More outstanding work!

probably a translation issue here. Presumably when you say fuses you mean an electrical overcurrent device (MCB). In the UK at least we haven't used fuses in domestic wiring for many decades.

good work as always steinez!

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

That's it. It's the same word for both in german...

From the sound of things, I assumed you either put in a larger fuse or a larger breaker without upgrading the rest of the circuit to handle the higher current. However, if your father is an electrician, I'm sure he knows what he is doing and the circuit is designed appropriately.

Carry on! :ylsmoke:
