Hi Al
Quote:You can always cast extra wheels, if the double-loop puts too much wear on the contact wheels.
All I will need to do is turn the worn out rubber off the wheel , re mount wheel in mould , fill mould with rubber , jobs a good one
, I work in an industry that uses Urethane wheels /tyres a lot on concrete and they are very robust lasting years . And to get a true profile ( 180 degrees ) for a tube notch of say a 1 inch tube the belt does need some assistance . Then there is the time it takes to cut the notch , say 30s to 60s not long , so I reckon I will get a fair few notches out of a set of guide wheels .

not offencive in the least Surface grinding attachment ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, interesting
Quote:Keep us posted on the urethane casting. I'd be extremely interested in knowing more about that.
Will do

Rob - this is where the smart-arse in me points out that you could have cast aluminium wheels (for those of you in the US - the second "i" only appears if it is cast correctly) if you hadn't sold your furnace

Hi Darren
This is where the smart -arse in me flips you the bird
, The thing is mate there are only two wheels the same size ,so I would need a pattern for each probably 8 different sizes in total ,I only need one set , so it would be quicker to just turn them from sold and miss out the pattern making and casting , yes if I did not have bar stock or were to need say 5 of each ,then fair dinkum .
Cheers Rob

Yeah, doubly so since I don't have a surface grinder. :)
