drill gears [TANKS]

["Chrysanthos Kanellopoulos" <xchrysk-at-otenet.gr>]

If you want my advice, try to use hand drills with iron gears, for differentials, like I used in my tank.  Nothing will happen to their teeth. Their gear setup will reduce your RPM 3.5 times , however it'll increase torque 3.5 times. See attached jpeg in my message of Thu, 1 MArch. And if something happens to the gear box of the drill, you toss it away and replace it with a new cordless drill. As long as it is not a MAkita, that should be fairly affordable. (Trying to convert more people to my primitive solutions and their practicalities, however that's one way to go if you have started with drills and need differentials, when you cannot find these Warrior motors in your country).

 

For low gear, the speed control should do the job, I think* but I am not too sure.

How`s work on your 1/6 (cant remember what your building)?
