Hi John
It's a reciprocating machine, A lighter smaller version of a pullmax. you fit different dies in the holders to do beads, forms, planishing,shrinking and stretching.
Regards Dennis P.S. and it jiggles.

Looks good, Dennis. Thanks for posting.

Neil's jiggly machine build and the resulting work he posted was a big motivator in my decision to go with a reciprocating machine.

Hi All From the start of the build, Metal cut to size for 3 machines Top arms bored and drilled. Lifter mechanism finish bored and showing offset. Lifter shaft machined and trimmed to length. These machines are based on the Shopdog Machine designed by Richard K from the Metalmeet site,Plans are available from there so i will not put up sizes as they are on the plans. If anyone wants more information they can P.M. me.Thats it for this time, more to come.

Regards Dennis

Hi All Lifter mechanism parts fitted together and the bearings and pulleys
next the blanks for the adjustable stroke Then machining the offset bores in on the blanks Then marking out the part to do slitting operation Then a picture of my shop buddy" Princess Rocksanna." How did that get in there. Next the mainshaft showing the offsets.Still more to come

Hi All
Next will be the Mainshaft showing the other part of the adjustable offset fitted to the shaft,then the pummel blocks fitted to the shafts then the sideplates for the pummel blocks were machined then i made up dummy end plates to hold the bearing plates true while welding to the top plate,I missed taking pics of this bit,but you can see the welded pieces on the left side of this picMore next time

Hi All
Next i made the conrod Started with a plate of 1 inch thick aluminium bored the holes and finished the rest on the rotary table on the milling machine Then i machined the tubes for the lifter mechanism, including the slots for the lift handles shown here Next i turned the bushing holder and welded the mounting plate to it before taking to finished size then machined bushes to take the main toolholder shaft [seen here part machined] This was how they started ,then machined to this and you will have to wait till the next installment for more
