Those are the ones I have on the way. I guess I just did't think they were that small after the large diameter is cut.

is it correct it has .5degree backlash ?
The backlash seems to vary between units,
The ones I got had quite a bit of backlash in the reduction gearboxes integrated with the motor.

Hi,
the units are here, I just need to machine up motor adaptor and mounting plates
Rab
What do they look like? Any pics?
yeah any pictures ?
i wonder how big it is ?
how much you bought it and where ? ebay ?
I bought mine quite expensice US$ 200 1:50 ratio.
rud
what kind is yours for $200?Any pics of that one?
here it is
Who makes that one? Do they have a smaller one?
well the problem is I do not know what brand it is.
I saw smaller than this but longer.
I need short for my 4-5 "spindle" axis.
it's japan made, the bearing brand says NSN or something, defenetly not NSK.
if anyone knows who made it let me know, I just want to disassable it but I need the drawing to do that, don't want to damage the bearing.
rud
Where did you see them? What site?
i was in singapore, it's where I got mine from.
I don';t think he sell it for public.

Calico, Cool Link! Did you notice in the videos that they didn't do any actual cutting? (Just followed the Cutting path/Contour, of a part already cut) I want to see chips Fly!
Ernesto,
Most of the clay/foam mills I have seen in design studios are 3-axis horizontal arm type machines. GM has machines made by Tarus... maybe a google search can yield some pictures. Basically, there is a track in the floor that runs beside the car (front to back). On this track is a tower (Z axis) and from that tower a horizontal arm that runs cross-car (Y axis).
The spindle is a seperate router looking thing. It is set to different angles - so the software creates different files depending on the angle. Only one side of the car is done at a time. They have the luxury of having a machine on each side, but you may have to rotate the model or have a duplicate floor track.
Just my two cents.

This site is well worth the visit. While I am here, is there anyone that has any experience with 5 axis that could spend a little time with us here. I have several questions and need some input from someone who's been there.
