$20 Rotational Casting Machine

This is a rotational casting machine I built for about $20. The wood was scavenged from a shipping pallet that was destined for a burn pile. I used 6 608 bearings (these are commonly used for skate boards). Mine came from eBay. The leather belt that drives the inner frame is made for old treadle sewing machines. You should be able to find one at most sewing machine shops or on eBay. The pulleys are made from laminating 1/8" plywood discs. You'll notice the led weights on the bottom. Those are required to balance the outer frame.

Pilots for R/C model airplanes. They will soon be for sale on my website TailSpin Aviation

The casting machine is now motorized with a built in timer. I'll post a new video soon.

YouTube may have removed it. I just added the link to the video description. You can find the CAD plans there.
