Here is a design that one of my friends designed tfor our club winch. The
beauty of this design is that there is no chance of getting a finger cut and it
works perfectly.
The design is based on a rotating cylinder mounted inside a metal cube. The
metal cube has a hole drilled through it through the center line. The cylinder
also has a hole drilled through it. In normal use, the hole in the cube lines
up with the holein the cylinder. To activate, a handle rotates the cylinder,
which the cylinder rotatesImagine an 8 inch square solid metal cube.
Great Idea, I bet driving the rotating cylinder/blade with a heavy duty
starter would make a very nice install. Sharp machined surfaces should
cut "Plasma Rope" cleanly although might not have enough energy to shear
wire. This may be just what I've been looking for. I'll never use wire
again anyway. Thanks Jim.
