Discount Hobbies in Orleans (as I suspect most hobby stores would
have) hollow brass tubes in various diameters from about 1/8" or so
up.<br>
Brass is pretty easy to work with..solders well or you could use two
part eopxy to attach to your end parts.<br>

want to independently rotate two or possibly three arms –
like the hands of a clock – and am looking for a “shaft
within a shaft within a shaft” assembly. Each arms is to be
separately controlled by 360 degree servos (not continuous
rotation) or steppers. Right now, I am looking to see what’s
available and so far I’ve drawn a blank. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

your response, the Dremel only provides one shaft and I’m
looking for more. As for bearings, it would be a ball race
or just cold-metal (brass on brass)… I am still looking for
possible ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
