I was thinking about the axe on this machine and the lack of overall speed it has. My decision is to remove one stage of the gearbox such that it goes to 10.58:1 rather than its current ratio. I originally thought it was ~40:1 but upon closer examination, I realised I made a mistake in the original calculation. I thought you added each stage's reduction but no, it is a product (multiplied). So each stage is 10.58333333:1. 10.58333333x10.58333333 is 112.06:1.
Yeeeeaaah, gonna take the L on this one. The 40:1 ratio, I am really unsure how I got to because 10.58+10.58 is not 40. The correct ratio definitely explains the lack of speed and also why it is destroying its own gears in use.
Gonna see if I can film the re-engieering of this for a before and after.
