Hi Lads

I am in the process of converting my 626 milling machine to CNC


Work done so far ,, http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=6037.0

Picked up a couple of 8mm pitch/20mm timing pulley's tother day for the Z axis .


Part machined up the mounting block for the Y axis nut to see how much room i had left to fit the Z lead screw pulley .


mmmmmmm there is no room to fit the pulley


I can turn the nut 90 deg that would give me another 7 mm to play with . Wont look as nice

I was never impressed with the section of casting that houses the Z axis bearings , and there was not allot i could do with it as it is to fit the new bearings ect ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so i removed the offending lump

No going back



Rob

Oh boy, I can see this is going to be an interesting one.

Rob,

Great stuff

Well that certainly sorted that out, it will never be in the way again

(Save it just in case you need to put it back )

If
In doubt chop it out
Just as a matter of interest Rob did things move much with the web removed

Hey Rob - just started reading the prelude on Mad Modder. So far it is looking good and I am looking forward to reading the rest. I really should visit that site more often.

Too bad I didn't know you were up in NCL. I would have dropped in when I was there. I'll look you up next time!

Cheers for looking in Lads

I will try and make it interesting

The casting did not move when i chopped out that section John

Mayhem ,,,,,,,,,,,,,If your ever in the area feel free to call in


Rob

Evening Lads


The two lugs that i had left on the casting will be used to mount the new Z axis bearing support


Using my HZ arbour vertically allowed me to reach into the casting to machine the lugs .





Now i have something to work from :med:



Rob

Rob,

Now that was very smartly done
