Hi All

After searching the net for 30 min I have not found a expando drum that will fit on a pixie. I pulled a machine out of the junk that just begged me to take it home. A pixie wheel would fit in the small wheel and my old flat lap wheels would fit on top and the machine runs good with a 1/4 hp motor.

Thanks in advance.

diameter and width?

That machine was used for steel blade sharpening. I have a similar one in my shop I have used for years to sharpen knives. scissors, planer blades etc.
I do not know if you can retro-fit it to do what you want but they are very useful when used as intended...

Hi All

Thanks for the input. I did a little more digging an found it was sold as a tool sharpening machine made from central machinery. I also found a users manual on line.
 The small wheel turns at 2850 rpm and the big wheel turns at 320 rpm. The size of the small is 5" x 2" so a pixie wheel will fit in there but can it handle the rpm's? The big wheel spins at 320 rpm and that seems very slow. I could put my old flap laps on there with no problem. I need to borrow a tach from work to see what my old lap is turning at. It is on the lowest speed and is so shot that it shakes.

Thanks for the input.

I don't think I myself would want to be around an expand turning more than 1800,.... but that's just me. jmho

depends on how well you like exploding expando's.  I wouldn't.

Hi All

I do agree that I dont want to run an expando that fast. The question still is does a pixie have an available espando? If they do I might think about a speed control.

Thanks for the input.
