Dan's cnc Router

I found a high speed chuck that has a 1/2" shaft at the end. It works fine on the varaible speed Porter Cable that I have using the lowest speed of 10,000 RPM. The chuck is small and I believe the reason is because you don't want to turn large drill bits fast. I think it will hold up to 1/4" drill.

Do you have a link?

Do you have a link to the place that sells the drill chuck?

Are you selling any of the quick release collets, or perhaps do you have any plans that could be shared with the group.

I think someone could make a killing selling theses for like $10 each.

[ger21]

Except it probably costs more than $10 to make them.

I posted the collet drawings to the zone awhile ago. You may need to do a search for Porter Cable collets to find it again. WMS offered to quote me a cost to CNC make them but I just did not feel that enough people would be interested in them. I would need to purchase them in lots of 50 (for each collet) to make the cost lower.

I can't remember where I got the drill chuck. It was some time ago. I will continue to think about it and let you know if I remember or find it again.

ADDED: I did the search for you. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showth...+Cable+collets

I think it's post #13 on the link above.

Just wanted to show everyone what I have been up to. I’m all moved into the new place, and started sitting up my shop. I just finished my work bench 96” wide by 40” deep. I was amazed at how much the mdf weighed. The next project is some casters for the table saw, and then some shelving.

Hey Dan, Is that a CNC lawn mower?

with your z axis travel, can you accomodate keeping the rails at full length, and then just limiting travel with your ballscrew, or even better in software via the limit switches? that way if you decide to change anything down the track you still have full length rails to play with. as others have said, it's pretty hard to stick the extra bits back on again

My transformer arrived on Saturday, is should give me just over 36 volts and 20 amps.
