not sure why this is making a twist on the sheet metal, for 20 foot sections, or more... but it's impressive to look at on the job


making an Archimedes screw maybe?

      blush...
      I'm a car guy, mechanic, bubblehead, engineering tech, and wanna be machinist, and I just dig machines, machinery, mechanisms, gear drive, chain drive, etc etc.
      So, the stuff I post might drift from 'cool things with wheels' but I stick to the general realm.
      Thanks! Glad you're enjoying this stuff!

    Probably flighting for augers... ie feed, plastics, dry material

    The screw pitch looks much like that of an automatic coal feed auger with which I once had a somewhat uneasy relationship.
