My new multi-cue spinner

My setup is very similar. I made drive sleeves out of delrin and tapped them to 5/16 14 and 3/8 10. I made the stem that the chuck holds just under a half inch, and then made to end that the pin screws into bigger so it covers the pin and most of the face. I wanted to make sure i kept the face as clean as possible so i didnt have a lot to face off when i was done. For now, im done spraying clear coat. Im using a foam brush to apply both the epoxy base, and the ceramithane.

Just a note.... if the delrin drive sleeve mates up with the face of the joint, you might get bubbles coming out of joint between them and into the finish. I know I did and had to make the driver a little smaller. I face the joint off after I finish any way.

I made the drive sleeve about .750 where it hits the face, so unless i just get sloppy as hell, i shouldnt get much clear coat on the face anyway.

Looks good Joe.
Are the blocks fixed or are they floating self aligning.?

The blocks are all screwed down tight to the 1x2 aluminum base. They all lined up pretty well from end to end. I didnt spend a lot of time making it super precise, because it didnt need to be. Its pretty close tho.

Finish

Joe,Thanks for the info and congrats on a great design and execuion............Ray Weeks
 
Well, i finally got around to making the delrin centers and now the tailstocks are spring-loaded :)

Wondering if the motor is explosion proof?

Nice little set-up!

Ingenious setup, but the intrinsically safe or explosion-proof motor question is a good one, if it can be exposed to any propellant, hydrocarbon, gas, whatever is in paint products.

I really like the belt system, very cool design for a lower RPM application.

Theres nothing to explode. Im using epoxy and water-based ceramithane. If i was still spraying, i would have made the center extend through a wall on each end to shield the motor and chucks from any overspray, but since im using a foam brush, this setup is just fine.
