Spine Tester - New Design

[Cupcake]

Thanks for all of the compliments.  I liked the challenge of getting all of these features in one design.  I wonder how I can improve it.

truly awesome job , kevin!!!
you asking for improvements, the only thing i could think of would be to set it up with a digital readout- kinda like the bearpaw one
less chance for error in the reading- and even quicker yet!!

I have one question on it, can it be used also without power to the foot pedal, like the old style as well?

Fujimo, I have an all digital design in mind that will also weigh the shaft before spine testing it.  It will basically work like this: turn on or zero the scale, insert shaft then hit a button and the spining operation starts.  At the end the weight and spine are displayed.  This will work like no other tester you have seen - if it works at all.

Don't wait up for one, this design is in my head and will require circuitry and code development and is not an active project I am working yet,

Stringstretcher - yes it can work manually.  I think some sort of block that fits between the weight and the top of the main support will hold the weight up when installing the shafts.

Great Kevin.  You have my info.
