This is being reviewed to see if it would be an acceptable combo to market.
At that forum I have pointed out some of its shortcomings...one, the mill assembly is using simple collars for the glides tightened only enough to remove slop. They are secured with oversized holes for alignment and I am sure when stressed with side loads would shift and, as has happened to me, bind the vertical movement while losing (if slightly,but enough) position.
...So, the glide system on this is going to be worked on.
The lathe? It works great and because the servos have a lot of OOOmph, I can tighten up the ways snugly for good tolerances.
The pictures show it upon delivery by UPS..(that was the first test) it failed but with clever packing this can be avoided
other pics are apparent...I added the angle/tube frame to add rigidity to the whole thing as the heavy sheet metal flexed somewhat affecting accuracy.
Note the deliverey picture....the enclosure with the sliding plexiglass doors was realy an obstruction....difficult to get access to the controls and cleanout would have been very laborious. I'm working on "swing away" type door system that opens up for complete machine access.....OR. a housing that just lifts off.
