Testing lathe and cylinder build

Post by larsinist »

Hei

i was testing my new lathe, and suddenli before i knew it, i had done a cylinder, i was not the meaning to build it in this size, but i looks ok, i will make all the parts so i can screw it together..it has a lenght on about 200mm, and is 6.5 wide in diameter, i have weldet a copper piston of a plate, and it is about 125-130mm..and it has a diameter on about 61-63mm,..do you think this will start??.i am thinking of building a gamma type, but should i build a beta instead?? what is the most strongest of those types,cause i really want to mount a dynamo/generator

Regards:Lars

There is little if any difference in power between GAMMA and BETA motors if well built, and the GAMMA motor is the simplest one to build.
