Servo Driven 4th Axis for CNC Mill

<< < (14/39) > >>

Progress  :thumbup:

I decided to mill the inner form of the belt drive housing, then make some hold down disk and mill the outer profile as a second operation on a spoil board.

So:

a/ Slice another slab of stock

b/ A few passes with the roughing cutter and finishing cutter

awemawson:
Then make some heavy duty hold down disks and re-tram onto the correct location

awemawson:
And go at it again with the roughing and finishing cutters

awemawson:
It'll do, but there's a bit of hand blending needed where the stock wasn't quite wide enough. Next thing is to get it mounted on the servo motor and fix the encoder so that I can decide how much dishing the cover will need to accommodate the thickness of the pulleys.

Bit of a delay tomorrow as all those hedging plants arrived today and need planting -it's a BIG heap :(
