INCREASE RELIABILITY A master homebrew, working with metal, have in their Arsenal, angle grinder, called colloquially the “grinder” (the name originated in the old “stagnant” times, due to the fact that this power in the USSR were exclusively Bulgarian production). The undoubted positive qualities (high performance, ease of use, versatility, etc.) have angular shlifmashiny quickly wear out and even break the teeth of bevel gear pairs. To acquire the right set of gears and to sort out the gearbox — no problem. However, this does not relieve further from repeated repairs. It’s all about the grease, or rather in its failure.

At the same time, attention and creative efforts of Amateur designers more going on technically complex objects: tractors, ATVs, cars and even airplanes. Changing the homebrew approach to the implementation of the projects; they are not afraid of the need for self-production of complex and accurate parts, which moreover may be subject to strict requirements in terms of strength. One such typical elements present in almost all energy-intensive structures, are cylindrical helical extension springs or compression. In this regard, many of our readers will be interested and, hopefully, it is useful to get acquainted with the methodology developed by the Ukrainian engineer Vladimir Vinichenko, which will help the responsible production of springs with the required quality and accuracy.

THE BLADE IS FIRMLY

NAIL UPIn most jigsaws, with whom I had to deal, there is provided a cantilever clamp blade relative to the mounting bolt (Fig. 1).
