The initial build<\/p><\/div>

Ive had this idea<\/strong> to custom make a Rotary Weld Petitioner for a long time. I had originally thought to make it economically as possible for off jobs, being I didn\u2019t have a demanding use for such a positioner, after months of researching different positioner and debating with myself about buying a Chinese made positioner found on eBay. I decided to give it ago and make one myself after having the idea I could use one of several  used wiper motors I have  from parts Mx6\u2019s.<\/p>

Fabricating the drive tube, I CNC Plasma cut the Lathe Chuck back plate and then cleaned it up on the lathe.  Welded the 2.75 DOM tube to the back plate and cleaned up the drive tube to fit the bearings.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
