now i`m jealous, just commented on your plasma table as well, did you follow any plans for this or just a copy? where did you get the long bearings, or are they smaller ones pressed into tube?
The rollers are track pins off a cat dozzer,machined them to take the bearings,l just printed the pictures off the miller fourm and made it like for like.
Yeah its standing up to the job no probs,l had just bought a new chop saw with the normal discs the week before aldi had them,the motor went on my first one.
l made the handle out a lenth of metal condute 1" diameter and l just pushed it through,pumping the jack a little,pushing,pulling and jacking untill l had a complete ring, cut the ends off and welded up.
Yeah the middle roller is fixed and you lift the other two with the jack.
Hahahaha l hav'nt a clue,l needed it about 6 months ago for the top of the railings l made for outside my house,l had'nt seen one before then l seen it l said l can make that,so l did,l can hang my jacket on it when lm out in my garage hahaha.
