Homemade "Precision" Hamster Wheel Part. 1

[dovidu]

Had enough time for weird project.

so...

This is my first attempt to make a hamster wheel for my CoCo.
I think nobody has done this lol
well i will give it a go!
hehe

Column material: AL6065-T6
Base: S45C carbon steel (for weight)
didn't have enough time, couldn't finish all the parts in one go.
too bad,,,

my plan: hamster wheel with spindle + dual preload bearing
i will try to make it as accurate as possible!

Now this is a project I can get behind! Weird is Good!

Nice to see something different but wearing gloves with fast rotating machines is not a good idea. I would rather suffer from small cuts than have my fingers ripped off by a glove catching on a rotating spindle or cutter.

it sure is dangerous!
i also have thin rubber gloves, but cotton gloves are excellent at removing particles...
rubberglove + cotton glove is safer, as cotton glove slips off when caught.
