Sample rim came in yesterday,
so I set up the rotary table and was going to install the dividing plate.
Not the right reduction, this table has a 1:46 reduction
cant use the dividing plate. Looked around the net for a 1:46 reduction chart
no one seem to have one.
So as an alternative, I wrapped a 1/4 inch wide strip of paper around the rotary table to get the exact circumference, I then drew this up in AutoCAD and divided the legnth by ten with the divide command. Perfect, added an extra 1/2 inch to the length, plotted and attached to the rotary table.
This is the result, the bolts are 2/56 socket head cap screws. I did miss one hole by 1/2 a degree but it is not that noticeable.
So far I am happy. After assembling I found that I have to change the design of the inner hub to allow the locknut to seat properly.
At least I have made some progress.
Thanks for looking
