Its time to show the world my 19 step Impact power wheel

It was brought to my attention that I hadn't shown my power whell installed on a gun. Here's the very first complete stainless steel unit made. I started with 3d printing my idea for fit and frame, then I moved to aluminum becouse of the easy machining aluminum offers. Once I was happy with the knob. It was time to then I move to to stainless steel. Wow what a jump that was. The very first try, I destroyed a $50 end mill in a matter of minutes. I'm sorry my gun is apart in this picture. I working on my next idea
Thanks for all the nice comments , Mont

This is an extremely innovative and useful part! I’ve been testing it for a month and love how it speeds the tuning process. I love the stainless... the repeatability, the design, and most of all, the ability to quickly tune for various pellets or slugs. This is a “ must have”. Here’s mine on a 25

I believe Monte is getting names for his next run of power wheels. PM him to get on the list.

Sometimes the change in speed for one click on the FX wheel is large, as much as 30 fps. Sometimes you want smaller speed jumps. Also settings A-E and 1-5 are two separate scales because of the design of the FX wheel. Monte's wheel, with its 19 steps, is a continuous scale, with nearly twice the increments. While the FX wheel spring carrier adjustment can do all the adjustment necessary, it's slower to move, and not as repeatable as a detent ball. You could Chrony the speed at all 19 steps if you wanted...

With all the wonderful interest, I'm starting a list of the people that would like a power wheel. As soon as the machine shop as completed the first run I'll reach out to those interested. If your interested please fill free to PM me. Thanks Mont

When I saw the release video of the Mk3, my first thought was of Monte and the new Power Wheel.
Thank you for helping our Impacts Mk2 evolve into Mk2.4.

Impact Power Wheel Update: I did extensive testing with Monte's 19-step power wheel. I get 8 fps for each click between numbers 7-19. I easily went from 900 fps to 1000 fps, and back down. I found that I should set the hammer set screw to a distance that just barely allows me to dial to max. Using a chrony I found the steps produced repeatable speeds. It makes tuning much easier. I found my accurate speeds quickly...

lol... I thought the exact same thing when I seen the new impact m3. except remembered that this one had a bit more then the M3 does.
PM sent. I'd like one as well.
