Well, having used these little monsters I can tell you that they are an offset weigh on the end of a shaft. Not percussive. But it is an interesting idea that you have done here. Might work. Mark
Thanks Mark. I did wonder how they worked. I want this one to rattle epoxy granite castings so poking it might make more sense ( on the side of the form). Cheers
@@CazualHaze You might try a 1/3 sheet vibrating sander as well. Gold standard on a epoxy granite casting is vacuum. You can draw a partial vacuum via a bag and a shop vacuum. And if you wish much more vacuum off the intake of your air compressor. Same situation a bag is required. Either a sturdy construction grade rubbish bag or you can make up one via plastic film and glazers tape. Been doing vacuum clamping and forming work since the early 90's.
@KravchenkoAudioPerth Totally agree any way to get the air out has to be good. I have a vacuum pump that I got from a local auction. Have not yet got round to fixing it. it's in a shocking state but does have a separate chamber the size of a very large saucepan. I did use an industrial vac to hold parts on a vac table on my cnc router but they are not rated for it so you have to be quick or you will overheat the motor. Cheers
Hi @randallsemrau6911 yep I agree I think the problem is it fires forward and backward I found several adapters for drills where the weight is spun. This makes it vibrate sideways. I must have ago at it and see the difference. Cheers
Well done, sir. And thanks for sharing your thought processes in the design and fabrication.
Thank you very much!
Cheers
And now your compressor runs during odd hours in the night and your wife makes you breakfast every morning….you are a genius!
Wow, thanks!
Awesome solution using scrap you had on hand. Well DONE!
Cheers. I also wanted to make one for epoxy granite castings. I have an idea to try out and this tool should help.

I don't see the concrete settling when you insert the tool.

@@CazualHaze I congratulate you on attempting this. We seem to have a similar mindset regarding these things!
I hope your wife liked it
Best not to let her know I made it!
