I can almost see the chips...

Ok so I finally have a motor its a 2 horse from a proform treadmill and I have a question about the fly wheel, its big and heavy is it better to use it when putting it on a mill or toss it in the...

Nevermind I got it thanks.

It works for printing but thats all I can get it to do.

I need someway to convert some drawings from inventor to PDF or something that can be posted in a forum and downloaded that can be readable. Ive tried dwg to jpg but it ends up to small and Adobe pdf...

I was looking at a hiwin 650mm , Diameter: 16mm . 12mm.. Good for this?????

So assuming im using linear ways for the z axis what diameter ballscrew would I need to get? Sorry for my ignorance I know nothing about ballscrews.

Or would it be better to bolt the stock dovetail column to the column im building for support?

I haven't worked out everything yet but I'm thinking of making box ways for the column from A2 flat steel instead of linear ways.

Well Ive reevaluated my needs and am thinking a smaller machine my be better for me so heres the new design using 6x6x25 1/2 inch wall tower and 5x1x20 base rails. Enco compound table and X2 head. ...

If I wanted to make a combo mill lathe outta what I already have (54 inch lathe bed and 30 inch lathe bed) or make a column for the mill head how could they be attached to make it sturdy enough for...
