I think he just mounted a turning Chuck to the table, Not the entire lathe Great Idea Willyb 11-26-2007, 04:05 PM Hi Mark Have you tried using the Mills Y axis for moving the Cutter instead of the Z axis? Willy metalbyter 11-26-2007, 08:51 PM Hi Willy, Using the stock Taig parts set up as they are the Y axis can only center the cutting tool. I don't think there would be any benefit to setting it up to use the Y axis. If your seeing something that I'm missing please let me know. Mark |
