Hello James, CONGRATULATIONS ! today is a great day ... the first chips with the new spindle! Every Saturday I look forward to a new video. Thanks for uploading. There is, however, a reason for this: I have an identical milling machine (OPTIMUM MH22V / BF20). It is conceivable that I will also rebuild my spindle. So I'm looking forward to the coming ones Performance videos. Greetings from Hamburg Achim

Great job, James! You are a true maker! Please consider the safety advantages of a single tag out/lock out for the motor controls. Ref: NFPA 70 article 430, Motor, Motor Circuits, and Controllers, and maybe an older version of UL 508. Obviously your installation is accessible only by qualified personnel, so no telling what you might have and not be in any particular danger as you are the man! However, please consider at least a label that there are two sources of energy in the controller or better, rework the controls to have a single point of tag out/lock out for more of a system/machine centric basis of thinking. Keep up the good work!

@Totalis1989 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome to see this working so well! For a single (mostly relevant) point of reference: my router's spindle (750 Watt) is comfortable doing a 4mm depth of cut, 0.4mm WOC, at 24,000rpm, moving at 2.4m/min using a 2fl end mill in 6061 aluminum. Your machine is much more rigid than my router so will likely get proportionally more performance than I do :)

@MrZhefish 3 жыл бұрын

i would check after tramming if your side plates of the spindle mounts are true, if so, you can tram the head much faster by moving the z up and down and indicating on that datum with a the mag base on the back column. it may also be more accurate :-) you machined them mounting plates so i would use them. maybe one can even build a fixture to speed align it, thus making angles cuts a more reoccurring event. just my two cents. thanks for the idea with the grub screw thingy, very good!

My guess is that you have created quite a good bootstrapping possibility for persons with limited budgets. Certainly building your own equipment, as you have, is better than a college course!

@Conno9220 3 жыл бұрын

Did you check the tram in the NOD of the head? I know their isn't any adjustment. But, it's good idea to check. Some G0704's need the column or head shimmed.

@Ale_Lab 3 жыл бұрын

i have a BF20L, similar mill and indeed the NOD was off. Needed shimming which I do not like it for rigidity but is the easier solution.

I'd like to hear someone run the numbers of the clamping load on tee SA of the interface with those 4 large bolts clamping the spindle to the mount. I highly doubt that thing will have enough power in any situation to overcome that force.

Hi James, I have been watching your progress over the last few months waiting to see how the new spindle performed. With this information I will be proceeding on changing out the head on my PM-45. I have already converted it to CNC and belt drive, but I like the concept of the tool changer built into the spindle. Looking forward to your future projects. Harry

congratulations! this is, to me, a " light a cigar-- i love it when a plan comes together" moment. very impresive results so far. i was wondering what options you have to tram the spindle... back and foward (pitch, right?) other than shims?

@keenanbarker3436 3 жыл бұрын

This is so cool to see it all come together. It just looks so professionally done. I am probably going to think about trying to upgrade my spindle when I have some time. Could you maybe do a couple test to see how it handles low speeds like with a drill that needs a fair amount of torque?

@Clough42 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah. That will be coming. Wish I had a quill, but we should be able to just ramp up slowly.

@calebburnett 3 жыл бұрын

Excellent work. I’ve enjoyed watching this all come together. When everything is implemented, will the spindle and vfd be controlled by Mach 3/4? I may have missed you mentioning it in the video.

@Steelcrafted 3 жыл бұрын

Have you thought about adding a c6 spindle control board? It treats yours spindle like another axis and will control the on/off and speed with step and direction pulses from your break out board...they're super cheap, like $30...I put one on my Bridgeport controlling my hyunyang vfd and it works awesome...takes m3 and m5 commands from g-code and sets your speed automatically...
