@landroversforever 5 ай бұрын
A drill chuck is self centering, and the holes are just that, holes only to support the tip of the chuck key. It's the same bit being pushed round like a gear no matter where you put the key.

What a great bit of kit. I bought a big old 3phase grinder on a similar stand (A bit bigger) in an auction. There were two things I wanted in that one lot, the stand and an unused creasing hardy tool that looks unused for an anvil. I later sold the grinder off and have kept the stand obviously. On the look out now for a Ranalah or similar brand looking for restoration, though I may end up having to make my own English Wheel.

@BunnyKins1970 5 ай бұрын
It's so cute!!!!! I think that, if you are making stands for them, that you should use your artistic training for the look and some science and maths for the base width. When you get the lower wheels, it would be appropriate to recreate the first thing you made with the big one - but scaled down by the same amount as well. 💚🐇🐴💚
@davidtaylor8244 4 ай бұрын
Hi Dom, The Mini Ranalah looks great, my only concern would be that lower m12 threaded rod to adjust the bottom wheel, I'm not sure this will hold up over time, it just looked like any regular zinc plated threaded rod you can buy from a builders merchant, these are not very hard and being a standard thread pitch are not designed for constant adjusting use, I think you would be better off using a proper hardened machine leadscrew the sort of thing you can buy off the shelf from HPC Gears.

You could make a stand of hot rolled angle steel. A bit like the Eifel tower.. and maybe ad Big rivets to keep it in style.. or use your plasma cutter and make a chape like that and weld it (from the inside.) Trying to keep it cost effective.

Hi Dom, the stand you used looks really great. I guess you need to make your own from here on, that will give you chance to eliminate the adaptor plate. With the stand the whole thing starts to look quite big again and ups the cost. Might be worth costing out a fabricated version. Mind you I would love to see the whole design, pattern making and casting exercise all over again!! I wish you luck and look forward to seeing the testing All the best!!

Hi Dom, excellent work as expected. The stand looks fantastic, except. I think it needs to extend further out under the Ranalah so that it looks aesthetically stable. Clearly, if it's bolted to the floor all will be fine, but as it is, it just looks a little unbalanced (if you get my drift).

Loving the mini Ranalah 👍🏻 maybe knock up a steel recreation on your cnc table that looks similar to the cast stand. Or come up with a cool deco design to match the Ranalah. Might be a relatively cost effective way if you made a batch of them? Put it out there see what people think 🤔 Add a shelf to keep the lower wheels on as well just a thought. All the best

This is an example of what is best about British engineering: an ingenuity: one man and his Dom. But the problem is that once the enthusiastic creators are no longer with us the excellence of British engineering is no longer with us. I think of British hifi as an example, when UK companies such as _the Acoustical Manufacturing Company_ produced world beating kit such as the Quad 405 (I have several), but once the enthusiast has shuffled off this mortal coil the quality product has too. Our nation needs to create an environment where our skills and enthusiasms can be passed on. Why has our country never managed to succeed with passing on skills?

If the wurth bearing fit is anything like the various loctite versions, then it doesn't need (or want) any heat to cure. It's anaerobic so it cures in the absence of oxygen. Heat is what's used to soften and release it.
