I have spent the last few hours playing around with a basic front rest design. It is adjustable in height from 120mm to about 250mm.
I have modelled it up in Solidworks and will place an order with the lasercutters later on in the afternoon. I am also making a jig up to ensure that everything will be nice and square.
If there is any interest in it I can have a few made up. I could provide either a "flat pack" to be assembled by yourself (you would need a welder) or have it finished off including powder coating.
I may also produce some basic plans for it aswell.
I would be interested also. I need to buy one very shortly and have been looking at a variety of different models
Maybe one of the benchrest gurus could advise what is desirable in a front rest. I see all sorts of designs with flat bottom plates
And joysticksn would love to know what difference they make.
The only comment i have for the current one is the legs look like they are at a high angle
Which might cause a flat pack shipping issue ?
Posted from my blackberry so i don't know how this is going to format!
A flat pack will be exactly that, flat. There will be nothing welded together.
Not sure on any pricing but will know soon. Sending everything to the laser cutter now.
G'day mate r they going to be made out of steel or alloy and do you have a brake press or r the feet going to be welder on. Might be interested in 1 or 2. Mitch
