DIY Watch Parts Cleaning Machine (A Wood Butchers View) ;)

[Paul80]

Hi all

Following on from my DIY Dial Feet welder reciently posted, I decided the next thing it would be helpfull to make would be a Watch Parts Cleaner, so below is my version.

Basket was from an American seller on ebay and its all controlled by an Arduino for the wash cycle and a speed controller for the spin function.

Base is a laminate of two sheets of 3/4 ply wood and the colomn is from a defunct vacuum cleaner.

Timer is a basic digital kitchen timer stck to the top of the control box.

Here is a short video showing how it functions

Looks excellent! Are the glasses tall enough for you to spin about the liquid?

As it stands not yet but new glass containers the correct hight are being looked into.

So at the moment, that's what the forth jar is for, wash then spin into the forth jar, don't realy need to spin after each rinse as I use IPA for rinses and that dries nice and quick without the need to spin..
