Greetings; While I await a new soldering iron so I can fix one of the lags in the spindle control & make my electronic fuse do an estop idea work, and intermittently studying the pix Andy sent the links to, that is what I am going to try and build. However, the extreme low angle I see means it will probably contact weld itself together over time & become very difficult to disassemble.
In my case, no motor torque will be transmitted through this connection, only the trust that moves the slide. I found a discussion of the characteristics of tapered joints in the Machinery book and it appears to me that if I want to disassemble this for service at some future time, that I should use a steeper taper, one that is supposedly self ejecting since the screw won't have a lot of push available to force the separation. I'm inclined to use something of 2 or 3 degrees more than a Morse taper for this. That will also be shorter and supposedly, insert diabolical laugh track here :), and easier to machine. Or is my thinking wrong? Comments please. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
