Chris it is a axminister X2 I think the angle of shot and the fact there was no chuck/collet chuck in the machine made the gap look big |

I drilled and tapped the table and then through drilled the chuck. I have only use the 4 jaw on it and its actually not been off it since I mounted her (great bit of kit). Its 'timing' marked so it will always go back on the same way... this is a 6 inch btw. |

Had a good day in the shop. Turned a MT2 stub to fit the Vertex center hole. ( got it right on only the 2nd try)Drilled and tapped it M6 on the bottom. I'll turn the stub end to fit the spindle nose copy I made for my attempt at a home made RT. Dissassembled the Vertex, and found it clean but well greased on the inside. Beautiful peice of equipment. I was showing off my work to SWMBO, showing her how well the stub fit into a store bought M3 to M2 sleeve and got it stuck! Good fit. Chuck in E. TN |

Jason, I see your vertex has a stepper on it. Is that a store bought setup, or did you make it yourself? I'm in the process of building a controller for my 4" Vertex. I'm following Steve Ward's build for my controller. I still need to build the adaptor to mount the stepper on the RT. Bogs, or anyone having built such an adapter, can you give guidance, or drawings? My Vertex has 3 tapped holes behind the hand wheel. I don't have a clue how to make said adapter. Chuck in E. TN |
