That's funny because it was working for me but I went in and reloaded them again and hopefully that will work.

Cheers
Bob

Working fine now, except the second photo.... maybe too big a file?
Anyway, very nice design and very nicely implemented!
Looks very useful.
Cheers,
Joe

Thanks Joe.
I worked it out - I already loaded 10 pics - anyway here is that 11th pic.
Nothing special about it that cannot be seen in the other pics.


I guess I should also acknowledge WA forum member Franklin for supplying the central bearing.
Cost was $40 for the steel, ~$20 worth of fastenings and $29 for the roller bearings.

All working fine for me.
Nice work Bob. I'm assuming a dangly powerpoint over the middle of the Trigrind-rotator 3000

Yep - Franklin has suggest that as well and it seems to be the way to go.

I like the name you have proposed but was thinking T3, Trigrind, Turntable, Thing-eh-me-bob. ?

Or even the T³

Hi Joe,
I can see the 19 Photos.

Hi Bob,
Really well thought out and a great job, That is going to make life a lot easier having them all in one spot.
I am trying to work out something for all mine, and might use some of your ideas.

Triple Grind sounds like a coffee, so TripleGrind Rotator.

Append Mark I, Mark II etc when and if needed.

A work of art, Bob.

I mocked up a partial drawing of a cross section of the pedestal that shows some of the hidden fixings etc.



I can add dimensions if required.

Good one BobL,

I can see a twirly-werly grinder thingo god thread comin up

Yeah how about,
- vertical/horizontal, angled (graziano's got that covered)
- 2/3/4/5 armed,
- double decker
- with VSD and GPS

The more times I read that the more it sounds like a new Olympic high dive description.

Funny that as I was thinking of a set up like a mini ferris wheel. I would have a stop so you could only rotate it 300-360 degrees either way so the cord wasn't a problem.
I have enough 6 inch grinders for it, and no problem getting more cheap.
