Apologise if this has been posted before but I couldn't find it. I was really impressed by the use of the CNC mill in this application. I may even be tempted to just motorise the X,Y axis on my small mill to do this. Hope its of interest. |

A neat idea that. I don't suppose you could work on very heavy gauge rod before the radial spindle load is too much for the bearings. Certainly a method to tuck away for the future :thumbup: |
| Joules:
Thats a fair point Andrew. Perhaps have a jig attached to the mill head than risk the spindle bearings, and make sure the bending roll is the weak link... |
