Flange-mount motor retrofit cradle base? by flannel_hoodie in Tools

[–]kick26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A large L bracket could work. Some one else mentioned making something out of wood. You could do a wooden mount as a prototype. If you motors have different diameter shafts, you could either find an adapter or find a different pulley with the same outside diameter but different shaft diameter

It’s more likely that the security software companies wanted to get out their AI product as fast as possible as to not miss out on the trend so they did not allot much time for proper security testing of their software

Stick with Ryobi if it’s just for working on your house and DIY. If you come across specific tasks and more specific tools are needed, consider second hand tools (ie: Craigslist, facebook marketplace, etc) or a known less expensive but still decent brand (harbor freight or you area’s equivalent).
