Part 3/8:
The core project involves developing a dedicated metal-cutting machine for materials like aluminum and brass. The builder attaches a motor, a V-gate, and a specialized S-blade—specifically one suitable for cutting metals with precision. An intriguing feature is the adaptation of a pulley system, intended to regulate the belt-driven operation and ensure proper speed, especially critical for cutting applications.
The machine is cleverly designed with two guiding slots, serving as channels for feeding material through. A novel aspect includes a push system comprising two steel pieces, a plate, and a clamp, enabling stable and effortless feeding of metal pieces into the cutting zone. This setup aims to make operation smooth and safe, a key consideration in DIY fabrication.
