Beavermill conversion to CNC

[Andre]

Now it is time for some drilling operations.
First thing to do is make sure your workpiece is correct centered .
The next thing I do is make a centerhole.
Drill with the right size so the holes who needs tapping also can be don.
And break sharp edges.

[Andre]

After we put in some pins with glue we put the assembly back on the lathe to remove the rest of the pins .

[Andre]

I checked if all the parts are proper aligned .

[Andre]

I made in both assembly a M 5 hole so I could glue a screw in it.
So things can not start to move .

[Andre]

Now it is time to assemble everything with new bearings and tryout the belt.

[Andre]

And some more.

[Andre]

We had to adjust the coverplate of the top bearing to get some space for the lock nuts.
I made the two nuts in a way that i can use a SKF wrench .
one the bottom nut I will connect the speed sensor .
I also had to make a spacer to adjust the height of the top bearing.
Kind regards,
Andre.
