I have a D1-4 spindle on my lathe, and several chucks, collets, faceplates etc to suit. So the plan is to make my 4th axis with a D1-4 face so that I can use the same workholding, transfer work to the mill direct from the lathe, and use the lathe spindle to centre work in the 4-jaw chuck (as centering a 4-jaw on a mill 4th axis is properly tedious.) -- 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
