All this project talk has motivated me to blow the cob-webs off this project I wanted to make a couple years back, it is so easy to put things on the back burner,, frequently never to be seen again, such was almost the case with this KMG grinder clone, though I continued to scrounge some items that would be needed.
Some are fortunate to be able to look a drawings and see the big picture, I can to a degree but not well, consequently, I like to model every project in CAD prior to building. For me the ability to rotate, zoom in, isolate etc. components just makes it so much nicer then some .pdf file to view and contemplate any changes.
I use OneCNC XR5 Mill Pro for cad/cam (.XFA format) but can export in many formats if any one would like a copy of the model.
All the separate components are in separate layers but do not believe these layers are preserved in any of the format exports.
For the most part hardware has not been modeled as well as some of the pulleys arbors as those will be made on the fly so to speak after the pulley type and size is determined.
a .IGS cad format of the model is attached in the zip file.
