Tumbler Build - For cleaning plasma cut parts.

Today I made some sprockets for the roller door chain drive,



Took me five revisons to get the sprokets sitting on the chain correctly. Plasma really is a blunt axe but these should work fine.





I will weld on a piece of pipe with two grub screws to hold them onto the shafts,

Is there no end to your talents :woohoo:

Lol Thanks Clive. In the next couple of years I have some pretty big projects lined up. Stay tuned.

have to give you credit you get into some pretty cool builds. sprockets would not have been on list of things to cut with plasma but it looks like you proved me wrong in my thinking

Sometimes you need to find a way to make the tools you have work.

The sprockets have a bit of taper. I had to lower the feed rate right down to try to eliminate most of the taper and it worked, also I had to reduce the scale slightly of the sprocket diameter to work with the plasma cuts. If I had them laser cut they would of been perfect the first time but I am sure they will work fine in my roller door application. I would not want to use them for a motor bike or such.

I see building a laser cutter in my future

Pat yourself on the back as i can not reach from here!
Nicely done.
