Desktop CNC lathe question
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 2:48 pm
Hi,
I am in the process of building a cnc lathe to accompany my mill, there is a picture of the mill on my website http://www.whatisacnc.com and I will be adding information as things progress with this project.
I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for making a chuck, the motor i am using is 1/3 hp out of a blower, and has a shaft that has been modified (filed) the end of the shaft has a threaded hole and bolt to hold something but I don't know where to begin.
Any help finding a good solution for a DIY chuck would be greatly appreciated.
