If I was to make the split version I would: 1) Make the part that bolts to the drive. Machine only the rear register and 8x screw holes for the drive and 6 x for the front half 2) make the part that bolts to the front, bolt it on and machine the taper with an allowance. 3) Mount on the harmonic drive, then use the drive to index round to machine and bore the camlock cam holes and stud holes on the horizontal axis of my mill. 4) in-situ grind the taper using the horizontal axis of the mill. My casting is only wide enough for the 25 size. Even the 25 is wider than my T-slot table. https://goo.gl/photos/E3qxr2sGSaSodqJo8 -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
