Re: Bob's Super Simple 4th Axis

I guess it's not happening on the Pirahna. Not enough Z travel.
I will hold this idea for the next CNC, probably the Shark HD Extended.

Re: Bob's Super Simple 4th Axis

I found smaller end mills here. http://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Tools_by_Job/Carbide_Downcut_Inlay_Router_Bits.html They will need an adapter 1/8 to 1/4 but that is also sold on the site. Honey do's and work getting in the way of me actually spending time in the garage doing what I really want....

Re: Bob's Super Simple 4th Axis

I was looking to mount the rails on the side of the spoilboard (edge of the table) and therefore the gears would be lower to start the round stock would defiantly be thin, diameter 1" maybe. I will play around and see what I come up with.

Thanks

Re: Bob's Super Simple 4th Axis

Bob,

Great design and I would love to try it. The smallest bit I have is 1/4. Do you have the rack and pinion design that will work with 1/4 in bit? I am running a pirahna so smaller bed length.
