Looks good. What type of part, how many are you making, and what
welding process do you intend to weld them with using this table?

Just wondering, because if you intend to use MIG, some spatter guards
for your beautiful mechanism will be in order to prevent damage to the
drive train components.

Looks decent.. I would suggest instead of retracting, use a compression
spring.

Looks way too nice to be in a welding shop.

--Thanks for the suggestion! Yah I'm set up for flux core MIG but I
planned to switch to gas to minimize mess but yeah some shielding is a good
idea. The big hope is to use TIG to do a pile of round pipe adapters for
some manifold work.

--Too late! Problem solved by selecting a different anchor point and
using a different spring. Got this one out of an old draftsman's lamp, the
articulating kind; it's perfect for the task.
