Winner Home Grown Cutter Grinder

With a good belt and the bearings preloaded again, I ran it for 20 minutes and checked the run out at the nose. It is less than .0001. I used a .0001 gage. It is good to go. This may or may not hold, it depends on bearing wear. Only time will tell.

Congratulatons on a well done projcet.

(ponders how many dull enmill would fit in a medium flat rate box)...

Over the next few days we will button this project up. For the most part it is finished. A belt guard must be made. The apron and legs done and the plumbing installed. At this time I would like to thank the 600 people that visited this project. It has been my pleasure to do this project for you viewing. I did it for two reasons, the obvious being I needed one. The other was to show that the big machines are not really needed on a project of this magnitude. All I have are a Clausing 8520 Mill and a Jet 9X20 lathe.

I will continue to post as I finish up. Today I will take on the apron parts then the legs. The legs will be adjustable to level the machine.

Bill there are probably more statistics in the "thanks" and "likes" section, but it seems to have disappeared.

The drain plumbing was a simple matter. Now on to the Coolant Feed line.

That's excellent Bill. Do you recall the part number of the bearings you used?

 

[Bill Gruby]

They were high end Timken, I'll look up the PN for you.

I appreciate it Bill. I am working on the design for a 4th axis, and I keep vacillating between tapered rollers or angular contact bearings. If the bearings you are using are reasonably priced, then their larger brothers may be an option for me, otherwise I will go with my current plan of angular contact bearings.

Can't seem to locate the boxes. Must have tossed them. Here is a link. Marcel, what is the part number on those 1 7/8 Timkens you have?
