Try GrabCAD again, I think you will now find what you're looking for.

I can not guarantee all parts will be dimensionally the same as your machine.
Enjoy & good luck
Very nice work.
What size linear rails did you use for that?
Mind letting us know where you purchased them?
Thanks,

Does anyone know what angular contact bearings are needed for the LMS3900 Hi-Torque mill? I have upgraded to higher spindle speed and am considering a bearing upgrade.
I have not seen a problem...
I think the shaft diameters are the same the LMS3900 is the SX2 so just a little bigger work envelope.

Chris,
The shipping cost was something I wrestled with also but I'm glad I pulled the trigger on the 3900. The bigger work envelope, variable speed belt drive and info from this site helped me...
Chris,

They come with a belt drive and I've had no maintenance...

moodyj2000,
Here is what I have so far. This is a Delrin bezel I machined last night to mount my IGauging readouts (which perform excellent by the way). I still need to mount this and label the...
