    Not sure this is up to code, but it seems that you could take one leg off the 240V if you have a neutral and ground available there and run your 120V out of the cabinet. I'm assing you've got 2...

    Re: Novakon contact

    This is interesting info. Do you know what the product number is? I was wondering if they also sold a Pulsar equivalent.

    Re: Torus Pro Tool Changer

    I've been keeping an eye on this thread but don't have much to add. I'll be interested what route you all end up going. I purchased the DIYish tool changer from a forum member for my Novakon, but...

    Re: Power Supply for PDB

    That's interesting, I was just using one of those power supplies to test an onboard air compressor. There's a bunch of different vendors for those on Amazon for about 20-30 bucks - probably all made...

    Re: Fourth Axis

    That's the one! I remember seeing it a year or two ago and being intrigued. I don't remember seeing any specifications about indexing resolution though.

    Re: Fourth Axis

    Same boat here. I have one for my Pulsar, but I've only tested it out. To do it again, I'd probably look at either a harmonic drive 4th axis or a fast unit like the Rapidturn. There was another...

    Re: Torus Pro Tool Changer

    Doesn't Ray's tool changer work with R8 tooling? It seemed like there was something interesting going on there.

    Re: Need help with softjaw design

    One more thing - I think a big issue is that you're clamping two pieces on one vise that are not the same size. One of them will always be a bit loose unless there's a secondary engagement.

    Re: Need help with softjaw design

    There are several companies that make gripper jaws that might be good for this type of operation. I'm not sure you'd want to hold your final piece in there though, so you'd probably have to use a...

    Re: Adhesive Workholding

    I've used a lot of different double sided tapes for workholding in the past. I find the Scotch 410M is my favorite tape for workholding. It's thin and adheres well. The residue can be removed...

    Re: easy release double sided tape

    I like the idea of spray adhesive for your application. I would use a subplate with grooves and then soak in acetone to release the part.

    Re: Novakon Pulsar spindle problems

    The spindle nut is held in place by 3 set screws that go in to the collar and lock in wedges that keep it in place. If I recall, once the set screws were loosened, mine was pretty easy to loosen. ...

    Re: Novakon Pulsar spindle problems

    It should be fine to run the spindle without the drawbar. The fact that the drawbar is moving while the spindle is turning suggests that the lever drawbar may be poorly adjusted. One of the first...

    What size mill are you looking for, and what are you going to be cutting? Do you already have the motors for the conversion?

    If the timeframe and quality are that critical for you, I would...

    Re: Harmonica Reed Plates

    I believe fiber lasers will cut brass. Are the parts bent afterwards? If so, a cut/bend tool on a press is probably your best bet.

    Looks good! I've been wanting to get mine together but have been short on time recently. I think I'll steal from your design when I finally get around to it.
