Hobby milling machines now in stock - Perfect for conversions

How does the tool change work on this, is there a draw bar? Looks quite reasonable for the money! I wonder what speed the bearings would hold up to if you replaced the motor for something larger.

Hi Dave,

The tool change is the same any other R8 spindled machine. The head of the drawbar is beneath the round bobble on the head.

You can use any R8 tooling you can find on the market, as the thread is standard (7/16"), or you can use the quick change tooling I do.

The bearings can hold up to way more RPM than the spindle is currently set up to do.

I am looking at increasing the motor to be a brushless 2.2KW 6000rpm type, as well as of course a high quality CNC conversion kit

Regards

Any more progress on the CNC conversion for this? Also, does the motor have the torque to use a face mill? I wish it had a powered draw bar too!

Hi all

Photos of the progress on the CNC kit can be found on Facebook:

Need 10 people to offer to pay a deposit to make the hardware viable.

The original plan was to use clearpath servos however this may make the kit slightly too expensive for most.

Drop me a line if you are interested.
