Here's a few pictures
showing the manufacturing of the wheels for the two
wheel balancer.
I
decided to make some use of my CNC machine and thought
that making these wheels could be a fun project so I
started by designing the wheels in AutoCad.
Here's
one of the "blanks" after a little turning on a lathe.
The following three
pictures shows the blank mounted on the machine table,
the beginning of the machining process as well as a shot
of one of the
sides finished.
Here's two more
pictures. The first showing the the wheel flipped
over to machine the other side and second one
showing the same side after machining.
And here's three shots
showing the machining of the spokes as well as the
finished wheel next to one of the "blanks".
Here's a couple of
low-res videos of the machining process:
