I'm thinking about converting my jet jmd-18 mill/drill with round column, but thing that worries me the most right from the start is, if Z axis would be accurate enough.
There is one solution by reversing quill spring so it is forcing axis all the time downwards and this way you get rid of backlash on worm gear, next thing is how solve problem with quill lock, which is meant to be used when quill is in desired position (height) so you lock it to increase stiffness (and accuracy) on Z axis. So did anyone here did any similar conversion and have a solution or suggestion for this? here is machine's pic: http://www.rustan.ru/sites/default/files/JMD-18F.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
