Like Andy, I've made mine complicated too. I haven't yet made a face plate either. He has a cam lock chuck on his lathe to be able to move the chuck with work held in it to the 4th axis.. I have a South Bend Heavy 10L with a screw on chuck and 5C collet spindle. I'm undecided whether I'm better to make a faceplate that can use the SB chuck/faceplate or something else. As a result the indecision means nothing has been made yet. I posted photos of the 3D printed pattern on the 8th of August. Although Andy has a spare casting the mount hole spacing doesn't match my mill and shipping cast iron from the UK was scary. http://www.autoartisans.com/mill/HarmonicDrive/D8X_5784_Plastic_Mount.jpg John _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
