BTW.....did it ever occur to anyone who designs and then sources parts from the community that the more complicated the part the less sources you have to make them...……..and the more complicated the part becomes the more naughts get added to the hourly rate for machining.

For those interested in turning, we got confirmation from HSD that we should be able to get the HST610 double-sided with the HSK-T form taper for turning. We will discuss this in more details with their director of engineering at IMTS next week in Chicago. By the way, if you want to meet there, just ping me.

Hello Ishi,
I work for a machine tool building company found your design journey very interesting I would be very interested in learning more about your project. Let me know if you are still doing the project?
