Warco Major CNC build log

11.5 hours....useless!

Strangely true, when I looked in the box I found an empty 44t packet and a brand spaking new 40t. Nice to have a spare I suppose

My thought on the swivelly bit at the bottom..if it twists it shortens the effective length of the ballscrew=bad?

I don't think it can twist without bending the screw, I didn't stint on the metal :nope:

I now have the 40t pulley and belt in place with a faux honking plate fudged out of a bit of 2" x 3/4" iron.

It feels good, any shift on the motor moves the handle, moving the handle spins the motor. I would have wired it up but when I looked for a bit of chocolate block connector all I could find was 80A

Time for some G-code to make the real honking plate
