Wow, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to build a project like that. I built something similar about 10 years ago using a taig lathe as a base. Turned out not to be as useful as I thought in my case, but it was still a cool little project to build.

As long as you are having fun, right

It keeps the brain active and is less expensive than golf, lol

does it remember which direction the traverse was going if power is turned off or do you have to leave the machine on ? Im building a winder and have encountered this prollem.

diymania, what you see in the vid is a latching

Hall Effect switch to provide the direction logic

And yes it has a favored start up direction. What I generally do is rapid traverse it back and forth to set the limit stops then leave it set in the direction I want to start winding.

In the middle of a wind if I take a break i have a small lose magnet that I can wave in front of the sensor to get it to change direction.

Thanks for the interest...

But I have the next model in mind already, lol
