Great design and work.  If I may ask, were did you get the harmonic drive from?  Need to do similar for my CNC router.

Ah, thank you, think i missed that one.


--- Quote ---Absolutely admire that. Weird thing is that I bought rougly same sitze fanuc robot spare harmonic drive few weeks ago and had pretty much same general layout in mind.

Then you should go for it :D

One axial bearing in front to take axial loads, two radial bearings (two, because they are slim-ring-types, they dont take that much load as a normal one) and the tapered bearing in the back to preload the axial bearing and take radial loads.
And yes, the tapered bearing may be a bit overkill...but who cares :)

As the others have said truly a marvelous piece of work. You make it look so easy.  :thumbup:

Two things I noticed. One is your carriage stop. I realy like that. Very neat looking. The other is your tool post. I've never seen one like that. Seems like you have the angle setting number on top making it easier to set the angle of the tool. If possible a couple of close up picks of each would be nice. Thanks.
