Part 2 is now ready.
It is important to see part 1 first, otherwise this second part will make no sense. Here is a link to part 1. • EasyDrill
Part 1 showed the physical aspects and how it worked in practice, this second part examines the science behind counterweighting, particularly for a drill press but the principles are also applicable to counterweighting in general. Getting the best results from counterweighting is not just a matter of adding a counter weight and hoping for the best. A little science and understanding is a big help for getting an optimised solution.
