Advice on 4th Axis

[phill05]

Here is the machine I want to install a 4th Axis on and the panel showing proposed position for the AM882 Driver.


I make various size cone lamps and want a 4th Axis on the machine to do fluted, twisted lamps ect.
.
Diameters of initial work piece are 80, 100, 150mm.
I realise that I will probably have to lower the bed of the machine to accommodate the larger size of work piece.

Any recommendations or suggestions on 4th axis to purchase or advice on fitting, set up greatly appreciated

Hi,
I went down the road of building my 4th axis for the cnc with a ER32 collet end that I can also fit a 3 or 4 jaw chuck onto and went one step further and made a stand alone indexer controller so I could take the setup to the milling machine as well.
I have used it for cutting wood,aluminium and brass, I made a brake for it but never had need to fit it as yet I would say have a go and build one.
