    Re: BT30 Spindle

    It's gone awfully quiet again.....did you get any joy with the grinding of the slots?

    I think you could have done the job initially with an angle grinder mounted in a stand and plenty of water to keep it cool, then tidy it up with the diamond wheel afterwards......it won't be easy.

    Hi Ian,

    I didn't touch the spindle since then. I'm a little busy these days. I'll keep you posted tho.

    Thanks,
    Suat

    I feel that no matter what problems on the steel, you can find Songshun to help you answer. Because they have patiently answered my question.

    can you post the cad models I just want to have a look at them. Step would work best but just do what is easiest for you. you may have posted it earlier and I made an attempt to find it but then i saw all 47 pages of this and I gave up(got to around 20). If the designs are not finalized post them anyways I am very interested in the design of these thing and would like to design my own and it makes it a lot easier when you have a reference even an unfinished one. Thanks.

    Did I not complement the amount of work and skill that has been pumped into this project? I didn't. Anyway this is an amazing project with a huge amount of work and skill pumped into it.

    Hi, all good things come to pass with patience.

    After 35 years of it standing in the corner of the garage I had a great need for a mill so I bit the bullet and did a jig borer conversion.

    I've just completed the conversion and had to cut the end off of the spindle to fit an ER32 collet chuck to the end of the spindle as it previously had a 2 Morse being it started life as a jig borer...........then I raised the column up 100mm with a spacer to get more Z room for drilling etc..........finally I fitted a 3 axis DRO and that is really what makes it come to life......no more marking out holes for me.
    I think a mill without a DRO is like going to a dance in your undrerwear.

    hey Azalin

    how did you go about the junction between the end of the drawbar and the end of the shaft?
