| 4" Vertex Rotary Table CNC conversion |

| NickG:
Impressive stuff Chris, well done! Is the motor enough to hold it there in place without locking the table each time? Brilliant. NIck |

I have the Divisionmaster version and I'd be dead in the water without it, Can't see much difference between the two units, probably only small but once you have used one you will never go back. I use mine on a big Hoffman dividing head with remote power and driver, a 6" vertex, a small BS0 dividing head and as a trial I converted one of those tiny 4" tilting rotabs from Chronos with a type 17 motor to see it it worked, it did but it's very low powered.

NickG - seems to hold fine without since I`m cutting accross the wheel. I did keep locking it up at the start but when I was playing with the first couple of failed wheels it didn`t seem to make any difference. John - Yea, they seem to work very similar. I did make contact with Tony Jeffree a couple of times for a little info, I also like what he did with the sherline or was it taig cnc conversion. It was quite easy to setup and if you can get someone to build the circuit the cost is great. I`m currently doing a few circuits now if you`ve seen my other thread so hopefully in a few months I`ll be able to make another for another machine. May even make a few spare if time allows..... |

craynerd sorry I know this is an old thread but I have only just found it after following the link in your Stuart 10V Build Log Anyway I really want to convert my RT and I think I can do all of this bar programming the pic but I will worry about that when the time comes The problem is that I noticed the latest version on mycncuk is version 2.0 and is twice the file size as the one linked to in this thread but I cant seem to get an account on mycncuk :scratch: Would it be possible to host the zip file here as well ? |

@j45on Post #111 on CNCZone (http://www.cnczone.com/forums/671791-post111.html) contains pretty much everything you need. With the exception of a later version of the firmware on post #128 (http://www.cnczone.com/forums/681292-post128.html). I could do with 'refreshing' CNCZone and putting all the latest stuff in a post. Annoyingly it won't let you edit earlier posts otherwise I'd simply update the initial post with the latest stuff. Plenty on there to read though! If you get stuck, start a thread on here and I can answer your questions. Steve. |
