What Base For Direct Drive Mechanism

1" Plywood.

What if plywood get water during washing? will it hold the weight of G.motor and juicer unit? I'll be using small "legs" which will hold the whole structure at different points, will ply wood survive happily with those metallic "legs". one more thing, the motor will exert force all the way till juicer unit that may result in loosening of the screws/bolts attached to the wood, eventually.

Go for the metal strips a simple, sturdy and cheap option. You can do the final alignment with shims.

I hope we get to see photo's of this unit when finished.

yes I'll post but after getting it patent by the Guinness world record publishers.

Now, should the metal strips themselves be connected to each other or should they run parallel to each other like number 11. I just have to tight 4 bolts at the base of motor which can be done on number 11 shape strips.

Another thing, I have to fill the gap of 2inch between the bottom parts of both unit. if I attach strips to the bottom of motor, the juicer will be on air, above 2 inches. The strips wont touch the bottom of juicer, they will each 2inch below it. How to reach that 'air' above; long bolts? whatever, it should be strong to hold heavy weight.

Misalignment and hi rev call for elastic (rubber?) coupling. I wouldn't even try otherwise. S.M.
