Powder thingy
Re: Powder thingy
Great work and some nice machining.
Funny how timely this project is as I was pulling my Harrell apart yesterday to start measuring. I'm initially going to make a scaled down culver measure to fit my existing Harrell (I currently have the BR model) as I want it to be able to throw small charges like the Schuetzen model. Then I'll fabricate a second body to house the second measure permanently.
I'll keep watching. Thanks.

Did a nudge interrupt this?
It would be a days entertainment for a cheesecake just watching rectangular lumps of metal turn into something

Re: Powder thingy
looks great so far and those bearings at each end will make it smooth!!!! the only thing you will feel is it cutting the powder grains !!

Re: Powder thingy
I’m on the lathe and mill most days when I’m in the workshop. I hate it. Then I get home and do my own stuff and love it. Go figure.lee_enfield223 wrote:I was doing a lathe turning job for a friend and after 2 hours he got board and left !!!!and I told him that it would take 4 hours ,,, oh well at least he now knows why I don't use my lathe or mill all day

Re: Powder thingy
Looks alright, did the extra weight on the beam make much of a difference when zeroing the scales ?

Nothing is touching the scales. A light sensor straddles the beam.Camel wrote:Looks alright, did the extra weight on the beam make much of a difference when zeroing the scales ?

Re: Powder thingy
Good one Kickin.
What do you think gives any inconsistensies, scales or light beam? Is it enough to matter?
How do they tune beam scales?
