Yes, a heavier turner will slow it down. But it's weight further from the center of the cross that has the greatest impact. Think of it like torque and leverage. A light weight further out on the ends can have the same affect as a heavier weight closer to the middle. If all the weight is in the dead center (like say in the post) then the affect of weight will be minimal.
Try this. Drop a 1 pound and a 5 pound rock from chest height at the same time. You will see that both hit the ground at the same time. That's how gravity works. But, in the turner case, it is the inertia to get the thing started moving that is affected by more weight. When the heavier one gets moving it moves the same speed as the lighter one. It just takes the heavier a litter longer to get started moving.
GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU FOR SHARING. MY QUESTION IS HOW DID YIOU CUT THOSE RECTANGULAR HOLES FOR THE STICKS, WHAT TOOL DID YIOU USE. THANKS, SCOTT IN MAINE
Ok, how the heck did he cut such nice lines in the PVC? I can get the lines at a 45 degree angle easy with a cutting wheel because they are ling enough, but how did he cut the short 1/2 sections that are vertical? I tried a cutting bit and can't control the bit enough to get a smooth cut... I end up going out material all over the place.
Thank you MacGyver! I see how the moment (wikipedia) is changing the speed of rotation. I love these DIY projects. Thanks for sharing.

Pure genius dude. I just ordered 2 5 way fittings to build 2 of them.
Do you have video where you show yourself cutting the zigzag in the PVC with your dremel ?
Nice work sir
Thanks

Thank you Sheldon.
Cool
Yours idea is great. I was planning to do one soon
Thanks for the examples
Good video bro. We need more stuff like this on youtube
Awesome, I will give this a try, and make one of these targets. Looks like a lot of fun
Thank you Mr. Bond
I like it, great target. But I have a question, altering the weight of turner, affects speed?
great idea, well done ✅👍

THANKS,

I love it - Great design !! Thanks for sharing.
Thx for the vid but it would have been nice for you to demonstrate in real time how they work in a live fire demo.
Thanks for sharing friend. 5 Stars for u friend.
Thanks for posting this.
good tutorial
REally. How did you cut so nice into the pvc pipe!?
Thank you, .Good tutorial
Good tutorial!!
Thanks
thank you thank you thank you
Nice job sir....A++++
At the end when u compare the two targets for speed, how long are the wooden sticks on the slower target?
that is awesome
Would you be so kind to list everything needed along with the dimensions in the description?

Maybe using something like this? www.dremel.com/en-us/attachments/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=220-01
Actually, that one's from a Mercedes SUV... but I have BMW ones as well!
Is that brake rotor from a BMW?
Awaom
Nice! Well done you.
Thanks
