This unit works pretty well but you may need to adjust the tightness of the screw to get the best motion...not too tight or loose...just right!
Assembled with five #4 3/4" pan head screws.
I think this is the last variant I will make...took me quite a while to get the design right and to get the motion to work correctly.
Time to move on to other things!
