Hi Tony Great job designing and building this slotting attachment. Have been enjoying watching your other videos. Good job and please keep making them. Cheers Willy
like the idea though i think you need a pretty large capacity compressor for that size pneumatic cilinder or put a timer in there to slow it down / have it dwell at the top so the compressor can keep up been thinking on doing a similar setup to the quill of a drillpress to be able to hone cilinders , you can do the crosshatch angle by raising or lowering the pressure and the microswitches to set the stroke and dept , might still go with a mecanical setup due to the noise and amount of air supply i mentioned
i like your enginering idea,s ! but I wonder if those dovetail slides don't get very hot and wear out quickly? I don't think dovetail slides are made for fast movements? cheers ben.
Ben, That is a very good question. As always the proof is in the pudding. Regarding wear, the total usage that this will get in my lifetime is not likely to be enough to worry about. Regarding heat, it just doesn't happen. Remember that old shapers run on dovetails and they last forever, albeit most would be slower than the pneumatic actuation.
Great Idea! I was wondering why you didn't mount the slotter to the back of the Ram where slotter attachments are usually mounted? Seems like it would have been a lot easier to mount. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks
@@KW-ei3pi Also when I looked into it, it have been harder to fit it there than where I did. The machined surfaces are horizontal whereas I needed vertical.
Cool stuff, you made a mini pneumatic shaper. Bumped into one of your buddies at 'It's Foss' forum. He's banned at present (Andy 2 on there, proof read chassis book for you several years ago) Seems you were one of the few who didn't dismiss his 'trike'? Been watching Paul Brodie video's as he's re-building an Aermacchi to replace the one that was stolen. He used to build 'Brodie Bikes' way back before I started mountain biking(and I stopped at least 10 years ago) Motorcycle community really is a small world
@@MotoChassisByTonyFoale Yep. I rarely ask for answers from anyone as my questions tend to be outside 'normal' problems and I almost always have to find my own solution (re-invent the wheel on a semi regular basis) I spent most today fitting 'new' 500GB drive in laptop and copying stuff over. I did find a picture of one of your hub steer Suzuki's at Cadwell Park from? years ago
Hey Tony. You're hot shit. I like your power down feed. I thank you for sharing your interesting shop projects. I was vey glad to find your channel. Keep'em coming.

See part 2, that answers your concerns
Nice work Tony...
As always great idea... Thanks🙏

some people are indeed genius
Great Idea!

Simple. I have too many things and cables coming off the ram that it would take a day to rotate it.
@@MotoChassisByTonyFoale Ha Ha. Well, it makes sense now! Thanks Tony

Linux forum?

I run my annular cutters much slower than that. They don’t smoke even with cutting oil. But I’m a chicken.
It was slower than it looks in the video, aliasing changes the appearance of speed just like wagon wheels rotating backward in movies.
