Perhaps. I had the Bosch PDB40 in sights first, available here everywhere... half the price of what I got now, and electronic speed control, 12.5kg weight. But it has some aspects I don't like usage wise, like the stupid wheel on the side. Some people complain about accuracy being a bit of luck...
"it seems to me that putting a drill press on wheels is a very bad idea"
- those wheels have lockable brakes! I wouldn't do it without them. I hope they'll do their job well enough.
Actually, pretty close :D I'm not going to drill steel, though ;) I have been drilling woods, plastic, softer metal for years with the battery hand drill, every now and then, no complaints, and other neighbors sometimes also build something.
I was very unhappy with the results of hand-drilling...
What I ended up doing is, using a readily made damped spring thingy, and added the mass on top.
I.e. used an old mattress, put the plywood layer on it, and since the mattress is a bit smaller than the platform, mounted some stub legs with hard rubber feet on the outer edges of the platform -...
My high school physics days are long ago ;) This is not homework, well, other than it is work, at home.
For a real application: Very space constrained "workshop", got a bench drill press, and want to build a table on wheels for it, to be able to move it into a corner when not needed.
Those...
(it seems I don't get how quoting here works ...)
As for what this stuff looks like... Well, I have the plywood thing, resting on 4 sandbags of 25kg each, and a carpet on top. I also tried adding thick multi layers of cardboard directly under the pedals to no avail.
Some people just put massive...
That's right, electronic drum kit, hence the spring-resting platform as an idea - it is solely about (not) coupling sound into the the floor, nothing else.. Alas I can't edit the topic anymore, or I'd make it stand out more.
Ok, the last time I did something with physics, save for simple in-game simulation of gravity, was many moons ago in high school.
I certainly did not learn to do this in high school, although two subjects I had there at a basic level, are touched: Waves and Classical mechanics.
I have no idea...
Hello there,
I'd like to model a simplified version of a "Magic Eye" tube (e.g. without the amplification triode, and for a start, 2 dimensions only), or the visible display behavior.
What I'm talking about:
