Power Drawbar fo Tormach

[apeman88]

I just saw poppabear10's power drawbar & ATC and thought I show off mine as well. I made mine for myself and have no plans to sell them unless there is demand. Just here to share.

I started this project in July... took a week to think it through and order the parts. 2 weeks to CAD, cut and assemble. I had to re-cut a few times to make it fit and work right. Because of time, I had to shelve this project and plan to restart it and finish it next week if I can find the time. It is almost working... I need 2 more brace in the backend to stablize the power drawbar assembly. The way it sits right now... the assembly will tilt forward when I activate the power drawbar.

Any comment on how I can make it better would be appreciated.

How did you finish your aluminum? Looks like a bead blast of some kind?

Yes, I bead blasted. I think the stuff is called Black Pearl. It turns it into a satin finish.
