Those with an interest in a simple indexer system for the lathe without timing gears or attachments to the end of the spindle. Gr!!!!!!!!! let me know.
You will need a mill, rotary table that tilts or that can accommodate 90 degree angle and boring head.
it?s a 2 hour job.
Just so happens that I bought a 6" Vertex H/V (horizontal/vertical) rotary table a couple of months ago, and I have a Chinese boring head that came with the micro-mill. I'm knee deep in building the MPCNC at the moment but things are cooling down in the garage so I'm looking for a good project to justify my new acquisition!
I must mention I have no keyway broaches and a press to push the tools through. IMHO with the RELS and some nifty boring bars to hold the
square HSS, I am OK.
I will also discuss how to make a boring bar to hold a square bit, if interested.It?s as simple fast design, 1/2 hour job.
No filing LOL involved.
Yes, having had access to broaches during my working career, I'm not looking forward to cutting keyways on the lathe. Anything you can share to make my life easier will be greatly appreciated!
