Mill Power feed

<< < (12/26) > >>

bogstandard:
Did I ever tell you about the THREE power feeds on my mill. It came with the X axis one in the package, and because I was a good boy and paid up front before taking delivery, they threw in the Y & Z axis feeds, fitted by them, as FREEBIES (plus a load more stuff and a rather large discount as well).
I did have to buy the power supply for the extra two though, that was a 40 squid 110volt site transformer. But I thought it was a rather good deal at the time.

I don't normally do it, but that is tool gloat.

I just couldn't help myself, as I knew you lot needed cheering up a bit.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....  something really odd happening here...... :scratch:

Bogs, is that not at least the third picture of that particular corner of your shop you have shown us, the corner beside the door where the fire extinguisher and the alarm panel are mounted? :scratch:

bogstandard:
Ah yes but, this is the first time I think you have seen the mill all by itself, showing it's THREE power feeds in all their glory. I can show you close ups if you are interested.

Oh, I forgot to add, even though not shown with the full layout on this shot, it now has FOUR axis DRO. X, Y and Z x 2. Plus of course, as we all should have, true variable speed from 0 to 2000 RPM, with FULL torque from the slowest to highest.

I'm now going very light headed, I am starting to feel like a true machine polisher. :lol: :lol: :lol:

My garage is a graveyard of useless motors, fried power supplies (added a new one to the pile today), and other assorted crap attesting to my many failures. I finally tossed the whole lot of other parts I had into the trash and am just going to keep cranking the #@$%^& handle. :bang: :bang: :bang:

What have you been using for the power supply and motors?
