Homemade Rotory Weld Positioner Arduino/Stepper Motor Powered

I've been building a mini dump truck as a follow up to my mini dozer. I needed to recenter some H1 Hummer wheels so I decided it was a good time to build a rotary weld positioner.

The first video gives additional information about the build. The second video shows it in use recentering the wheels.

dozerbuilder01,

Congratulations!Your rotary wielding positioner is a very impressive and your skills at plasma cutting and wielding. Can you tell us more about your Arduino build and programming and the associated electronics (what type of Arduino shields used, stepper motors, etc.).

Thank you very much for posting this interesting project.

Regards,

Paul
