ANGLE DRILL MOTORS. TWIST DRILL BIT SET. LONG ALLEN WRENCHES. Angle Drill Motors
Astrokits Quartz Stepper Barn Door camera platform The motor output gear can be disengaged from the main gear allowing the platform to be hand-operated in the event of loss of power. The line is exactly 7.14 inches from the center of the hinge. The bearing is an industry standard model 7R10 which is 1-3/8 inches in outer diameter. The mounting hole was made with a Fornster bit, which creates a flat hole with a precise snug diameter. The Fornster bit stopped short of going through. An ordinary 3/4 spade bit was used on the other side. This created a floor for the bearing to rest on and a hole for the moving area of the bearing and of course the brass rod. It should be mentioned some brands of bearing were problematic because of a small radius at the top of the inner hole. This would interfere with the hub of the gear. With some brands I needed to use a Moto-tool to make the radius larger. A close look at this bearing will show barely noticeable grinding marks. It was easier to do than it sounds. The bearing spins up against the Moto-tool. If it is held at an angle, the curve can be reshaped by eye quickly. Three Piece Motor Housing
The primary element that I fabricated, welded, and painted was this three piece motor housing. Actually the first section which is at the upper left in this picture is original, but had to be modified to fit together with the two new sections. The fit is tight, as the saw produces copious amounts of metallic grit which you don't want in the motor. The three sections are attached to each other and to the steel base-pad as well. Welded to the base-pad inside are sections of angle iron which were drilled and threaded for 1/4" coarse fasteners. This was the most complex and demanding metal working project I've ever done, and thankfully when the time came, it all fastened together correctly!
