As Paul says in the video, that's pretty cool. The page saves me from finding out the hard way that something is unlikely to work. Thanks for the link Frank. I am tending towards having the same arrangement with the motor offset and driving the spindle with a belt. Then having the draw bar release cylinder offset opposite from the motor and pushing on the bar through a lever. The NMTB 40 taper will be above the spindle on piers. I think I'll stick with the ISO 20 tool holders. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
