Hi Jose;
Nice bit of art work!
I like your slip rolls very nice indeed!
I do have questions though. They are numbered below.
1.
Have you ever had issues with the chain drive jumping teeth? The sprockets are awfully small that is why I ask.
2.
Did you consider spreading the two bottom rollers a bit farther apart? Im not an expert by any means but my understanding is that it reduces effort some. It also raise the minimal radius so probably not a good idea.
3.
Did you attempt to tie the two jack screws together with a chain to make adjustmeny easier? Or is this not worth the trouble.
In any event the design of this machine is very likeable. I will keep it in mind when it comes time to build one of my own.
