Hi from Perth Australia

(1/3) > >>

PK:
OK, so now I feel bad for lurking.  My name is Paul Kelly, and I'm a shed addict in Perth Western Australia.

I'm in the process of revising my old CNC site. For now you can find it here: http://www.caswa.com/cncathome
Just recently bought a new AL320, that's already in pieces. As well as a 60KRPM spindle I'm going to bolt onto my (nearly stock...honnest) X3 Mill...

MM seems like a site for people with dirty fingernails.... I like that....

Cheers

SwarfnStuff:
Hi PK and welcome to the mad mob  :Doh: er Mad Modders. I hope you find this as good a site as I have. I'm not into CNC and my Playpen = workshop is miniscule but I make swarf with my Sieg clone 7 X 12 and Sieg X2 mill, sometimes something useful emerges.   :lol:
Again, Welcome.

AussieJimG:
Welcome Paul, that 60KRPM spindle sounds interesting.

Yeah, it was prett much an impulse buy.  There's the beginings of a thread on it here http://www.westcoastmakers.com/threads/going-fast.1291/

Really mad at you not showing this stuff before :poke: :poke: :poke:

But I could calmn down fast if you would tell me more about the gripper on this page:
http://www.caswa.com/cncathome/spindles.html

Got some anecdotal information, but few things were not evident to me.
* Is that taper more or les SK15?
* Can I have dimenssions of the gripper collet and pull stud?
* How does it work?
* How much is the griping force? You probably had some some figures in mind when you were planning taper/force. Care to open a process a little?

Really liked the stuff you do. Enjoyed reading about X3 and ELS. "Spindle speed control for the mill" did not reveal me of it's secrets.

Stay here. Maill stuff. :wave:

Thank you,
Pekka
