Nice job, cant beat a bit of birch ply I`d create bearing housings in the mounts with a forstener bit and press the bearings in, wont take more than 5 minutes.

Just made this powder die but i didnt do any research on how to make it so it did not turn out relly good but hopefully it gets the job done!

Your powder die looks like it will work. Thanks for sharing

I tested with some powder and it flows good until it get stuck. it might be because the powder is not 100% dry because i just cleaned the ballmill before i made the powder and it did clump in the mill so if it dosen't help to dry it then i need to granulate it. If that dosen't work then i have a problem.
Edit: After granulating it flows really good

Kosanke wrote an article on defective fuse, and found that small changes in the mesh size of the granulated powder strongly affected burn rate.

..and/or use a slower burning formula. It was also changing burn rate along the way a bit. If you look at the fuse in your previous post the weaving is a bit uneven along the way giving different level of containment. I'm guessing that the fuse is not pulled through at a constant rate relative to the spinning disks, but a bit faster and slower here and there due to the rubber band belt. Maybe you can swap the rubber band for something stiffer that doesn't stretch?
It is not a rubberband. it dosent stretch. the reason for the uneven weaving was because of 2 of the threads jumped off so i just cut them off just to test the fuse. im going to fix few things and il do and update.

Oh are you talking about the collector ?

Yep, that's the one that determines the pull through rate.
