- Tour of the new rod wrapping station I've been building over the past 6 weeks. Finally have everything up and running. Ready to wrap the first rod on this new stand.
Frame is simple aluminum extrusion (80/20 inc). Other parts are also aluminum and some custom HDPE blocks.
200 RPM motor spins the blank for applying epoxy. I also integrated a slick little slip-clutch assembly that is buried inside a single pillow block mounted bearing. Machining on the slip-clutch parts isn't the greatest, but working good enough to build a couple rods so I can work out any kinks in the design.
No current plans to power wrap. I'm still a beginner so prefer to wrap by hand. I may add power wrap in the future.
Also planning to integrate a blank deflection/loading feature into the stand. Designing parts for the deflection mechanism now.
