Nice work Alex - could you (or Tony) post some pics of the positioner please? Is the box section a rest for the torch?

I have been thinking of making one for a while but it hasn't eventuated. It has to be easier that trying to shuffle around the object and not get caught up in the umbilical or ground lead.

Unfortunately, I no longer have mine. It was simply a 8" 3 jawed chuck mounted on a rotary table, with a wire feed motor and controller coupled to the handwheel shaft. I mounted it on a adjustable table similar to a sine table. I wired a foot control switch to make it variable speed. Mostly used it for TIG work

Highpower, I love that positioner you posted, Im thinking I need to build one like that.

The one I posted has a tilt but its motor is fairly weak, it only turns very light parts, cant imagine it struggling on an incline.
