[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 567730, member: 10304"] Since you're getting into the swing of things with your cabbing, I think it is worth having a think about going to pulley drive. If you're getting a shaft made, set it up so it is longer and runs through a couple of flange mount self lubricating bearings, yep it will take a few mods to your frame, but then your polishing rig is independent of the motor, and driven via a v-belt, no flex couplings etc, plus yu can put a bit more force on the laps if you need to. As I mentioned, you can also vary the speed via the pulleys [url]https://www.gemcuts.com.au/Gemmasta-3-Step-Pulley-Set[/url] one fits the motor and one your shaft. This will allow your laps to run smoothly with zero plex and no load on the motor bearings etc. [/QUOTE]
