    6" Rotary Table & Dividing Plates

    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. Cheers Wayne

    6" Rotary Table & Dividing Plates

    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...

    Wobble Plate engine

    I finally had the time to do a short video of the wobble plate running. 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgSlu04GEuk&feature=youtu.be Hope you enjoy it. Cheers Wayne

    Wobble Plate engine

    I'm sure it will Jason. 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...

    Wobble Plate engine

    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...

    Wobble Plate engine

    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 Cheers Wayne
