Crankbait Machine

Recommended Posts

This is an interesting one:

It feeds the blank through the square tube. The saw does not rock. The blank spins and bounces to make the bait.

 

That must be an interesting machine.  Too bad there aren't more photos.

I am looking into making a crankbait duplicator that cuts baits from foam board with a hot wire (or rod, blade etc).

 

I tested with a make-shift hot wire cutter and it very well, albeit a little slow.

 

Any ideas of what to use for a cutting heated object?  I have seen hot wire cutters made with 110V. You run a 100W light bulb in the circuit. I wonder if it would allow me to use a thicker wire and cut faster?

Went for a drive the other day up to see Flash and got to check out his lure duplicator( absolutely brilliant )

 After a quick chat and demo of how to work the machine he turned around and said well there is the timber there is the machine

 You can have a crack at making your self some lure blanks if you would like (Awesome)he then left me to it while he went about doing some work for a neighbour I couldn't believe it

Thanks Flash your a true gentleman

Cheers
