My boss has given me the project of building a barrel vibratory machine for some large parts (WHY ME I HAVE NO ******* IDEA(BUT COULD BE FUN)).

I have read through all threads posted on this subject... but iam concerned about a few things. First being the machine will have to be ~ 24" X 24" X 12' and with media and all about 8,000 lbs.

:wee:


Supporting this monster and being able to vibrate WITHOUT destroying everything around it will require some tuff springs, I am thinking around 20 old car qoil springs.

And secound, one type of part that we need to deburr is 'L' shaped aluminum machined down in many places 0.060 thick.

Will a machine that large distroy something that small?!?!?!?!? Any ideas you guys can give me would be greatly apreceated. This may be a dumb idea but the alternitive is to spend $20,000 on a new machine.

Thanks
