Looking Pretty

How have you mounted the pulley and bearings to either end of the egg beater? You would be trying to fit a square peg in a round hole in any way I can figure it...

Looking really slick. Could be a dark horse for this year!

thanks, and the bearing blocks are 12mm thick ali with 4 x m8 tapped holes and the bulkheads are pocketed so that they fit in snug to hold them and the m8 holes are to just to hold the blocks in place, the beater isnt attached to anything apart from the pully if that makes sence lol

I mean't what is the beater spinning on? How does it spin in the bearing? Have you had to attach something to the side the piece you cut to form the egg beater (Sorry, bad phrasing)

I designed Callum's beater like a bigger version of 540's- water cut from a thick plate, then the square ends turned round to fit into a bearings... Look at 540's build and you'll get the idea.

daves right, it was about the time i was making ts2 and ts1s drum was wrecked he suggest i have a beater like he was making for 540 instead. Seems it was a good idea, im always a bit worried about the 17mm turned ends sheering off thou, probabily shoulda gone for a bigger dia to be safe

Ok, that explains it :) What material is it and then I can tell you exactly how hard you would have to hit it in order for it to shear!

its 25mm hardox 450, with 17mm turned ends :) interested with what u find out

Looks really good mate
