I dount anyone knows what the internals of a right angle drill are like? Something like the one below:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ryobi-Plus-R.../dp/B006XBU0K0
Don't know if they are mountalbe direct out the case, if they are metal geared in the right angle stage or anything and at a good price I don't want to spend out just on the off.
Buy it, open it up carefully, put it back together and return it if it's not what you were after. As long as you are super careful then you will get away with it
Oh and dont forget to take photos and publish here for reference :)
incidentally, I own the drill, impact driver and jigsaw from the ryobi one+ range. Cracking tools and very handy that I can use the same batteries across the range (i've run them hard over recent projects)
If it wont work for drives I will just keep it for the sake of a new tool :)
Battery and charger sold separate mind.
this isnt ment to sound like a stupid question but probably will be but cant you use an angle grinder gearbox to do this appologies for noob question
Too heavy and the casing is likely cast Aluminium, not really strong enough for robot applications. Don't apologize for asking nooby questions, everybody's had to do it at one point.
Angle grinder gears are perfectly usable. I use them in my right angle gearbox for my weapon system. The casing is a bit shady so probably no good for us.
Why it won't work here is because Matt needs a 1:1 right angle setup whereas angle grinder gears are normally 2.5*:1
*YMMV
Angle grinder gears are very good for weapon use where you need a ratio. 360 uses angle grinder gears and that has some serious power!
