Sealdaddy, thanks for restoring my faith in American ingenuity. What a great little set-up. I truly laughed out loud when I saw your low-budget solution to the machine problem.
You probably need to be a little careful about possible electrical shock in setting the drip system up but I love the simplicity. I think I'll make something similar for carving. Is there any kind of speed control on the grinder/polisher?
Rick
Thanks, lol15
Fixed income retirement budget restraints helps create workable alternative solutions.
But I can't take credit...it was the idea of 2 members here...Lloyd "itsandbits1" and Jim "wyrock".
The variable speed sander/polisher the discs are velcro mounted on has 200-3377 RPM range.
It and my old 6"trim saw with diamond grinding wheel are on GFI setups.
A trimmed down tuna can with hole in the bottom is epoxied to the pot, between it and the disc backing plate and sealed with silicone to keep water out of the motor, although the motor is at the other end of the HF polisher.
I can get as high a polish I want with my 30 grit to 15,000 grit pads at any speed I chose.
I like it's simplicity too...thanks, friend.
