I’m Swapping to the 1806 for more torque for the bigger disc, and because the only bigger disc I have has the hole pattern for the 1806.
I’m running n10 1000rpm for the drive and 600rpm n10 for the arm. Was having some issues at GRoCS with the mechanism but will have it sorted for ORCS.
Right so I think I’m going to use the bearings you suggested on eclipses topic, but I’m not sure what size to get as the screw thing that attaches to the motor is about a m4.8 lol.
M4.8 is unusual, does an m5 bolt thread into it? If so just the 5mm id 8mm OD ones should do you fine. Hammersaw weapons dont tend to need heaps of torque as you tend to only really swing when you have a pin, and if you cant spin up to speed and strike in 10 seconds that’s a greater issue than motor power. Looking decently well together after GROCS, I presume I only really ripped the wedgelets off, as i couldnt get much bite due to my poor traction, which will be fixed shortly.
A quick look up suggests that a 4.8mm thread could be a #10 imperial thread.
If it measures 4.8mm across the crest of the threads it’s almost certainly M5.
In practice threads are rounded over at the crests for clearance, since in the real worth everything is rubber (even metals) and it’s not practical to make things to perfect tolerances.
