as my tank adventure continues, I have found a need for metal working tools so I don't have to pay somone elese to do it for me. so I went to youtube (again) and looked into "home made mill". good stuff here. And now I have a home made dremel mill. Soon to be cnc but that is another story... now I am working on a home made metal lathe. I am still gatheriing parts and I don't know if it will be drill powered or dryer motor powered.
but I am having trouble designing a table to move on the x and y axis for the lathe and I also need one for the dremel mill.. I need it to some how have hand cranks to move it on the x and y axis and in the future, I will have it hooked up to stepper motors when I convert it to cnc. I thought about using drawer hardware with the rollers and tracks but I don't know if I would be able to keep the slop out of it.... cant have a slopy table that I am unable to lock down. That would make for sloppy work... anyone have any suggestions? -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
