I have started on my shaker table at long last,main reason they are good way to put through material quickly,and they have a good recovery rate,and they cost a bit if you buy one made up,only hope it works. Had alumininm frame built,attached 9mm plywood board,there will be 4 wheels to attached to the centre tubes,that will allow easy movement. ![]() Bought a small 5 to 1 gearbox and had some parts cut by water,incredible finish. ![]() I glued a sheet of acrylic to the plywood,cut channells in the sheet about 1mm and different lengths,not total finished yet. ![]() Regards for now Frank Edited by thedigger, Wednesday 6-08-2014, 19:46.

G'day Frank. Is this a modern version of the old Wifley table many of which operated up here in the Northern NSW tin fields? Having seen them running they are a very efficient separator except when a lot of black sand gets involved. Then the slope adjustments become very critical. There are many of these old plants, including the trommels, pumps engines etc. left lying around the scrub here. Michael |

Hi Frank/ Michael, Wilfley Table many memories about these in the Mineral Sands Industry. Very efficient separating the ilmenite/rutile from the zircon before being dried and fed through the magnetic/electro static separators. The down side was the operators wouldn't stop fiddling with the adjustment on the stroke, invariably they would slacken the stroke to much and the cast iron transmission case would take a hit and the rod would poke out through the side. We finally engineered a fool proof adjustment which prevented these catastrophic failures. Looking forward to seeing the progress on your machine Frank. Cheers |

Hi Peter/Michael Yes you could say it is a wilfley,will be not putting through any black sand only crushed ore out of reefs.Have new toy a small electric jaw crusher which if you pass it through several times you get a good crushed sample,so you can see if you have some thing of value. ![]() If I get anything of value I can put it through a jaw and roller mill that I built many years ago,so it will be very much like slime. ![]() Also here is the ball mill I made last year out of a 9kg gas bottle ![]() I guess we all like to make things,well I do. Regards for now Frank |

No doubt about you Frank, you're a man of many talents. No doubt you will be heading out to your glory hole to collect a couple of buckets to put your table to the real test. BTW, how do you keep your shed so tidy? Will keep and eye on this thread. Cheers |
