Building a milling machine

<< < (4/44) > >>

NormanV:
The idea is to use the under table adjustment to set the table height approximately and then lock it in position. The top Z axis slide will then be used for fine adjustment.

rick barnes:
Well, definitely a thread to watch.  I've been trying to build one for years.

chipenter:
Have you looked at the Dore Westbury machine http://www.lathes.co.uk/dore%20westbury/index.html of a similar design with a epicyclylcic pully for slow speeds ?

NormanV:
I am familiar with the Dore-Westbury machine. A good friend of mine built one many years ago but without the gearbox. I shall be using a two step pulley combined with a variable speed drive to achieve speeds of 2300-100 RPM

shipto:
I too would like to build one I just dont have a mill to make it  :doh:
