This ER tool holder could be used with a couple of bearings, pulleys and timing belt to your existing spindle motor. For one of my problems, I'm thinking I could use these holders to modify my useless double angle NMTB 40 holders. Just bore them out a couple of tenths (.0002") under sized. Heat the holder and press the shaft in. Although I can get normal holders for around $40 each. It might be worth it if I do a batch. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA® Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
