I had reservations about the leverage which proved to be right, as the foot push ends up taking a lot more effort. The disc blade has to drop 4" and in doing so, the link point moves out 2". Given time and some $$, I thing the best solution for the actuation would be an air cylinder with a 5 port valve control "if" you needed to process large amounts of specifically sized fuel. Of course you could also use a crank and fly wheel. It's amazing what you can find quite usable in scrap yards.<br><br>Doug Williams,<br>Fluidyne.<br><br><br>On Tue, 21 Jan 2014 17:56:55 +1300<br>Jason <urepedese@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br>> Doug,<br>> <br>> would your design objective make it feasible to make that cutter foot<br>> operated with a return spring?<br>> <br>> Closest thing I can find with a short search is a foot operated grommet<br>> press. http://navyaviation.tpub.com/14218/css/14218_230.htm<br>> <br>> Jason<br><br><br><br></body>
