Hello!
I need help in making a few decisions about what parts to use for our lathe conversion to gun-drilling..
We are planning on 1000mm+ of travel, 1 axis, a lot of supports for the "gun drill".
i had in mind two linear guides (axles) and a ball screw in the center for controlling the sled for the gun drill.
I have never made anything like this in my life.. nor have i worked with any custom cnc programming, so all help will be deeply appreciated..
EDIT:
We are only using a 6.5mm gun drill in this machine, so there isn't a lot of stress on the system
