[Jukuren]

I hate solving my V6 cuz its so stiff, but it will only get break in if i do solves...

.... or so i thought

my kid was watching bob the builder in the background lol

I wanna see how it was after that...

I would be afraid that the cube would explode.

I would be afraid that the cube would explode.

the arms are not on that tight and i have the torque set really low so if there is any resistance from the cube (core misalign for instance) the drill will stop

Thats even lazier then the lego version.

 

[iLUVcubing]

one of the best ideas ive ever seen in my life

 

[joey92193]

How'd you get the arms to work with the drill?

How'd you get the arms to work with the drill?

where the arms meet at the base (which is hinged to allow use on all size cubes lol), in the center i drilled a hole and just bolted on like a 2 1/2" long 1/4-20 bolt and secured the bolt in the chuck of the drill>

Very impressive. Quite clever as well. I'll probably end up breaking in my V-6 the old fashioned way.

This is actually a pretty old idea. Someone did it a while ago.

You should start a service...Ill send you my V5 if you break it in for me

Yep. ^ I did this to break in my store bought and mini qj. It's a great idea and really helps speed up the breaking in process.
It's not completely lazy, making the cube holder took quite a bit of work. ^_^

I'm about to do this to my V-5 now hahahaha

You don't have a v5.

Results....

after lots of work on the V6 there was a little improvement but not much.
My ShengShou 4x4 how ever feels freakin amazing... decreased the amount of lock ups a lot

side note: anyone thinking about doing this to their cubes be warned...
there is a pretty good chance of just destroying your cubes trying to do this.
They are not designed to handle those RPMs.

You actually did it! That is awesome.
