Tell me more about this jaw crusher of yours.
What do you plan to use for the liners?
G'day Scythe,
A while ago the local mining company came and did an assay of our farm and came back 3 times for a deeper look. The geo involved said this was his last job with the mine as he was moving on. So I asked him about those 4 hot spots he had shown on the assay map and whether any gold would be there. He replied well Bryan go grab some of those rocks and crush them and my guess you will find some but not enough for us to spend millions to get too.
Now years ago I machined up a pair of eccentrics as I was on making a plate compactor but I found a leg rammer at a garage sale for next to nothing. So the idea of using those eccentrics the moving plate came to life. Well from there I started fabricating the crusher and with the cleanup at work scored a 16mm plate of bisalloy so that is what I'm using for the fixed and movable plates.
This morning I started fabricating the frame and found the inverter kept tripping so decided to move the extension cord to another power point that on it's own circuit from the inverter. That worked a treat and I got the frame all welded up without the inverter tripping. This morning as I walked in the shed the shed forklift battery was bubbling away so it was time to give it some punishment :laughing-rolling:
Cheers Bryan
