Hey fellas. Long time listener, first time caller here. First, thanks to everyone for the existence of this forum. I've picked up a bit of knowledge here already.
I've been working on a winding machine and have come to a sticking point. I have a turning shaft that's about .64" wide (with a flat spot for set screws if needed) that I need to mount my bobbins to. I'm having a little trouble finding a prefabricated part (or combination of parts) that I can use as a "base plate" for the bobbins. I see some of you have nice machined aluminum discs, but I don't have the tools to make one of those at my disposal.
I could use an adapter shaft coupling to convert the shaft size if I can find something suitable to couple to it. I have thought about using a large collar mounted to the very end of the shaft to make a large flat surface to fix the bobbin to but I have not found one with a very large OD.
I'm looking for some ways that I might mount a bobbin to my machine's shaft without custom machining a part?
Thanks so much!
