Here is the start of the twins , concentrating on the drive assemblies , 4 new gates V-belts on there way in the mail
| | |
I am building from scratch a manual electric drive Taig and a CNC Taig , they will be setup as neighbors or side by side . Here is a picture of my old manual electric servo drive and all the accesories . this unit is almost 20 years old and will be retired by these two units once done
Also posted a picture of my CNC mill doing most of the mods

More work done , Twin A will be the manual electric lathe...the servo motor mounts , drives with anti backlash 32 pitch gear and a machined low profile coupler

A few more closeups
Nice setup there. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.....I am now starting to fabricate the CNC drive assembly
what kind of parts are you making with these? or are planning to?
I run Remote Control boats and try to make as many parts as I can , these lathes will really be for nothing specific , more or less just to help me out with the hobby boating

Very nice work. What motors are you using on the lathes and the mill?
bob
Thank you
The original lathe in post #1 and the CNC mill both have a 2hp ac/dc treadmill motor that uses a variable a/c control for RPM , The mills motor I had the center casing chromed , The a/c controler can be bought on ebay for $20 . The new lathes have a 32 volt dc motor that will take 110ac through a voltage regulator and a rectifier block . I will probably never get close to full power with these since I never have with the old lathe .
The new lathe motors were from a machine at work that was 20 some years old , I completely stripped them down and machined the front and rear face plates and painted the center section black . Apon taking them apart for observation they were extreemly well built and would easily take the task on with ease
Here is where I am now with the CNC twin
Machined in leadscrew nut , Its a part off of the taig mill along with the leadscrew
Both CNC steppers mounted with leadscrew
