    Re: How to Add 4th Axis to Tabletop CNC Mill

    Hi,
    the part no. breaks down like this:
    58 =Hi Performance series <2arc min lash
    44= 63 mm between centre of the worm gear to the crown gear, keyway output. The actual device is about 9 inches square and 4.5 wide, weighs about 7kg.

    Fit your own motor, up to 3.8kW.
    These things are heavy duty and superbly made gear reducers. Cheapest way to make a good fourth axis as I could find.

    That looks very interesting. How is the chuck mounted inside? Tapered tailstock backplate? Couldnt find size to fit.
