Re: positioner from a disk brake

Positioner looks great. You've thought of everything, including an arm rest. Is that a DC gear motor?

ZTFab, nice welds!

Re: positioner from a disk brake

Nice. I made a similar positioner using a motorcycle disc and a turner from a bbq rotisserie motor/gearbox. Yours totally blows mine away, mine was a one use solution for railing pedestals. Yours is much nicer and better thought out.

Is a 400 V AC motor with Electronic Speed Control regulator,
with inversion of rotation by foot pedals (at the bottom of the first photo), I even use it for the drill and lathe
