3 6 4 7 5 8 motor and the bottom of the spin-table I built. You could use a mounting disc designed for a small disc sander and bolt the spin-table to it. This way, one wouldn’t need to be custom made. Sander discs are available at most large hardware stores or tool supplies. The photos show the various components and their assembly. Photo 1 shows the assembled spin-caster and the dimmer switch used to control the speed. Photo 2 shows how I mounted and wired the motor. In Photo 3, all the components for the spin-table are shown, disassembled. 56 • O Scale Trains - July/August ’07 Photos 4-7 show the order of assembly for the spin-table. An example of the mold itself is shown in Photo 8. Note that the cavities are arranged in a radial orientation, so the material is forced into the cavities by the centrifugal force generated by the motion of the spin-table. Well that’s it! I think you can spin about any type of low temperature material. I designed it for white metal, but I recently loaned my machine to a friend. He used it to spin an epoxy-type resin material. With that in mind, I guess you can spin just about any material. All you need now are some molds and casting material, and you’re on your way to making unique homemade castings for that special project for which commercial castings aren’t available. Casting materials can be purchased from Micro-Mark [www.micromark.com] or other sources. u
