Title: Dynamo testing. New base rig.
Post by: Steam Technology on August 17, 2020, 05:31:52 am

Testing Dynamos can be a task that requires four hands. Juggling meters, belts etc can be a pain.
I have made a rig base that allows me to set up various dynamos and test them, adjusting belts without having to hold etc.

Quick to set up, change over and leaves hands free for speed variations and testing.

Cheers, Dave.
