Then later found Tida on the cross slide handle. > it ought to be relatively easy to press new (steel) gears on to > replace the broken back-gears. The back gears won't be needed. The motor will be changed out for a 3-phase motor and VFD, so the step pulleys go away. The plan is to copy the HNC electric clutch system for high and low: http://www.wallacecompany.com/cnc_lathe/HNC/00051-1a.jpg http://www.wallacecompany.com/cnc_lathe/HNC/ so the back gears go away. I'm also thinking about leaving space on the spindle shaft for a worm gear so that the spindle can be used for C axis or dividing. http://www.lathes.co.uk/lorch/img92.jpg http://www.lathes.co.uk/lorch/page8.html -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
