Yeah scotta, 100% column over quill!
Man, I tune out for 2 weeks and there are 20 new threads in the benchtop section. I think I've found the most busy area in the 'zone'.
Bought a pantograph for 300 bucks to butcher into a benchtop, 900mm X, 400mm Y and 250mm Z. Gunna lay it on its side and hopefully integrate a trunnion table, probably remove half its mass with an angle grinder, add a BT30 spindle bore with a DC servo for synchronised tapping.
Talk is cheap, so watch this space, in 4 weeks i'll check back in with progress. |
