    Help needed to incorporate harmonic drives in a 4th and 5th axis head.

    I recently acquired two harmonic drives and wish to use them to build a 4th and 5th axis head. It will be similar to a doughty drive. The harmonic drives are only the large ring, the flexible cup and the wave generator. There is no housing so I will have to I corporate these in the head itself.

    I will be mating these to an 80mm water cooled spindle.
