Same here yeah clamp shaft. Cut with cut off blade, done. 5 min job. Or make a 5mm thick adapter plate. And rotate holes 10 degrees. Also very easy. This is probably what I would do unless the motor pcds are already fitting to motor frame which is unlikely. On Tue, 19 Oct 2021, 03:39 dave

I use 1/16" grinding discs all the time for such. I think I'd arrange to clamp the shaft  not the motor frame so as to reduce vibration on the bearings. It it amazing what those discs will do at reasonable speeds. Dave On 10/17/21 10:27 PM, andrew beck wrote: Quick and easy way is to use a

Before you take anything apart on the mill, use it to make some spacer plates and get some longer bolts to mount the new motors. On Sunday, October 17, 2021, 11:12:04 PM MDT, Ralph Stirling wrote: I just got a great deal on three 750w brushless servos and drives to upgrade my cnc mill.

You can use a cutting blade for a grinder they work awesome. So your not actually grinding. It's slicing. We go through 100s. It's a 5min job On Mon, 18 Oct 2021, 18:38 Gene Heskett, wrote: > On Sunday 17 October 2021 22:34:35 Ralph Stirling wrote: > > > I just got a great deal on three

Quick and easy way is to use a 1mm cutting disc on a angle grinder. Slightly harder option is put it in a mill, clamp the shaft and cut 5mm off Just don't bang on shaft and you will be sweet. I would definitely not take them apart that's a headache On Mon, 18 Oct 2021, 18:12 Ralph Stirling,

I just got a great deal on three 750w brushless servos and drives to upgrade my cnc mill. They have the same face dimensions, but the shafts are 5mm longer than the old brush servos. There was no clearance between the motor shaft and ball screw inside the coupler, so I need shorten the 32mm
