What you really need is a vacuum set up somehow and one way valve to drop rocks through so the dust flying up gets collected but rocks don't escape either. If you shortened the exposed bolt you would be removing the mass there which is adding to the wobble in the unit, looks good and solid though.
I've seen others where they have an outlet port that drops into a bucket with a sealed lid. The lid then has another outlet tube leading to a vacuum so the material drops in the bucket but the dust is drawn out of the top. I think I might give something like that a try! Thanks for you thoughts on the wobble. I might look at chopping some of that extra bolt off! Cheers.
Thanks! I got the bearings from Princess Auto in Canada (C$14.99 each) www.princessauto.com/en/2-bolt-standard-duty-flange-mount-bearing-assemblies/product/PA1000001323?skuId=3870177 You can get them on Amazon for a similar price, sold as a pair. www.amazon.ca/PGN-UCFL202-10-Pillow-Mounted-Bearing/dp/B07W7LHWTM/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 The Princess Auto ones have a bit of a void space behind the bearing that I don't like. I can't tell from the images of the PNG bearings if they have the same space or not.
If you are in Canada and looking to buy a steel plate, I found this one at Princess Auto that was the cheapest option: www.princessauto.com/en/12-x-12-x-3-16-in-44w-plain-steel-plate/product/PA0009055120
Working on building my own currently. Great job
show us what it looks like when its done!
@@LetsCrushRocks I would love to. I've got my parts for the most part. Just trying to decide how I want it to work going forward
Thanks for sharing from Australia

@@LetsCrushRocks I like that bucket idea for it. I've been trying to figure something out for mine and was coming up empty. So thank you too.
Loved this video and the previous ones. I'm about to try and make my own. Where did you get the bearings?
Thanks!
