    The arm on top comes down with an industrial diamond and scores the glass tube on the rollers.

    The thing that kinda looks like a stick coming in from the right is a small torch and comes on to thermal shock the tube right under the score.

    it breaks down larger tube quickly and cleanly.

    Seems like it would be easy to lengthen the lead on a piezo ingnitor for the interior torch.

    Doug approved or dissapproved?

    I put this project on the back burner due to the big lathe project. Plan on getting back in this one in the next week or two during down time on the lathe build.

    I'm am building a crack off machine on Maui. I am curious about this photo. what is the diameter of the shaft you are using for the rollers? Did you use tubing or rod for the roller shaft? Are those belt pullys you are using, and are you going to put a rubber cushion on them ? I used a machines linear slide as a torch mount, so my torch can easily move in and out of the tube. I noticed this torch is fixed, how do you plan to light it after you make the score mark? I'll post pictures of my machine as I finalize the assembly.
    Thanks

    Hi.
    Stepper motor on the crack-off like shooting a sparrow with cannon.
    Simple gear-motor about $50-60 are than enough.
    I made a practical crack-off system than adopt any glass lathe.
    Go to YouTube and--> Type "Crack off machine on the glass lathe.

    Why are you spamming this forum with this??? You've got 21 posts and almost every single one of them is a link to your video.

    this guy is fucking awesome and you know it. You should switch up your normal demeanor and make him feel welcome. I just wanna hug this guy he is so awesome. We want him here. I want access to this guy. You post super redundant shit in your own way, but your good for glass and we need you as a resource, so no one is busting your balls over it. Lighten up for once.... you can see he is from a generation that is not social media savvy

    Okay, but is it *really* necessary to make the exact same post three times in a row? Also in the Safety Forum and a half of dozen other places??

    I'm not dissing his product at all, just the redundant repetitive posting.

    He may not know yet that if you click on "new posts" that you see everything
    So he may think that he needs to spread his posts around Lyke old semen to get his information stuck to everything
    Redundant? Sure. But totally understandable, and that thing is pretty kewl, so I'm okay with redundancy at the beginning of his forum career, plus, it's always nice to see enthusiasm from someone who's passionate about something!!

    I totally agree Jimi.

    If he's going to sell these, he needs to become a vendor.
