Hello everyone,
Has anyone ever ordered any tools from Alibaba in China?

Cheers

Hello Petertha,
Got my Phase II rotary table today.
Made in China. Just so you know it looks pretty good despite the origin.
I have a job on the mill this week but I`ll get it cleaned up and give it a run.
Busy Bee Tools have small 4 jaw chucks for rotary tables in their sale flyer.

Hello Petertha,
I was going to order from Travers until I saw the 15% off deal that Emco was offering until the 7th of January.
I have ordered from KBC and find their service is quite good in Canada.
I ordered a 6 inch from Busy Bee a few years back but it was complete junk. The pinion gear had...

I used the steel flywheel as it didn't idle well using an aluminum one.
I'm pretty happy at the way it turned out.

Take your time
A couple of hints, line bore the cylinder with a fixed size reamer before pressing on the cylinder cap.
Take your time with the wobble plate. I used a super small square when the round stock was still in the 3 jaw chuck to make sure I had the specified...
Thats correct Tin Falcon,
Its an Elmer design however I increase the cylinder dimension to add fins to it and drilled the base so I can bolt it up to a larger base to prevent wobble when running. I'll do a heavier base this coming week. Also the inlet pipe has ribs on it to keep the air hose...
My completed Wobble Plate engine.
I did the flywheel in steel but I'm not happy with it so I'll do an aluminum flywheel next week.
Runs nicely on 10 PSI of air.
When I get some time I'll do a video of it running
