The Bucking Magnet Motor

I cut another sacrificial block.  Round this time, to make the clamp jostling easier.  It gave me a chance to use one of my new mills.  I bought a set of end mills that ranges from 3/16" to 3/4" by 16ths.  I used 1/2" to cut the sacrificial block.  This setup cuts plywood easy.  Now I have the rotor ready to cut its cants.  These are 8 degrees relative to the neutral position.  I'll align the cant with the table edge and cut flats as before...

I started cutting the Rotor today.  I made a little gif...

Finally got some time to finish the rotor plate on DiaMag2.  First pic is the piece of scrap between the rotor, and the stator.  Might be the mot awesome piece of scrap I have made so far.  The there is a pic of the new rotor, and the whole motor.  Still rough cut at this point.  Next I need to clean up the plates and get them ready for drilling and tapping...

Beginning to cleanup the rotor and the stator for UABMM2.
After I get all the cants flat then I need to drill and tap screw holes.
As I am cleaning up the cants I am noticing that I can get the
tolerances really close to the lines.  Cut wide (5 to 10 mils) and grind
the cant down to the line, which is a carbide pencil tip, 1 to 2 mils
wide.  This kind of thing really does need tight tolerances...
