Hi, nice job! I made a trrussed swingarm while converting my old bike from twin-shock to pro-link monoshock. Chain doesn't clear the swingarm without adding too much weight and/or losing too much rigidity. I'm thinking about making a roller like this integrated into the swingarm itself. Nice lathe, what model is it? First time i see one like this.
@@MrFixit1 i use a soviet TV16 back from 1961. Smaller than your one, but seems to employ same belt pulley shifting. I bought a rather cheap VFD and it has eased working with it a lot. Variable speed, motor brake, reverse, originally had none of that.
That's awesome I didn't think it would go more than a couple days because I've been dealing with the same type of thing and I have rollers like it but they must not be as strong because my chain just eats through everything I've tried so far four-wheeler with a motorcycle engine on it and the chain doesn't clear the swingarm so I need something to hold it up a little bit
Nice job!
Thank you.

@@nickythespacebiker I swapped a treadmill speed controller and a 12v motor into mine, I also added a reverse function. Works like a charm.
How fast did the chain eat right through that thing
800 road miles so far and very little damage. Thanks for doubting the validity of this very durable plastic.

@@williamedwards7315 All of the research I did lead me to nylon and Delrin plastic because of its high abrasion resistance.
