    Making a dd

    Well I thought I would make a dd today as my car needed it's breaks bleeding so while I was at my workshop I made this
    Not the easiest thing to do in a workshop made for making motorbikes and stuff every thing is to big.. but I gave it ago. Motors from some crap Chinese rip off jack hammer, cam is off eBay for 2.99 and the rest is metal I had about. Works well but it's not hard for a dd but the way it tattoos I now thinking why do we pay for such high end machines? Do we over engineer things now? Or is it just gimmicks ?

    Definitely! The more over engineered the more money that can be extracted Tried the exact same thing yesterday afternoon, was stumped by a handmade tube vice and a shite pillar drill , so a massive temper tantrum was the result here !! May come back to it when my will power returns!

    How do you sort the cams out .. the ones of eBay are cheap at £2.63 shipped. But I think it's about 2.5ish. Would be good to have 4mm or even adjustable. .

    I tattooed a guy in a machine shop and he made a few for me. Mine are 4.2mm. However I think Nedz sells some adjustable ones for about 20€

    All depends on the output shaft size. Neds sells adjustable cams. HM adjustable cams look good but they dont sell them.
