Hello Have anyone tried this approach to mounting an 43mm spindle, AMD/Kress etc? It’s essentially just a colletring with ID=43mm and OD=80, clamped in the Onefinity 80mm mount. Terje [onefinity_spindle_holder] [onefinity_spindle_holder_cut1] [onefinity_spindle_holder_top] [onefinity_spind…

Hey Terje, yes, some of us have expressed both the need for it, as well as the plan to implement it (if someone can find the time), see here: 43 mm mount Euro mount I personally think it’s a big mistake on Onefinity’s part not to offer an optional 43 mm mount, because with such an “Euro” mount, …

Ahh, the lovely Kress type spindle shows up again! BTW, nice modeling @Temo ! This could be easily machined out of Corian, which is suitable in a compressive application like this, but many other materials would be suitable as well. The only potential issue I can see is that the distance from the no…

Hey Bill, hey Terje, but the other day we discussed that the need to slide the router or a 65 mm spindle that much downwards in the mount, with the result that the distance from bit to mount becomes “5″ish” as you called it (=12.7-cm-ish :slight_smile:) , because otherwise the milling motor’s back w…

Thanks everyone, I guess it wasn’t that easy if the spindle does not reach down. One would seriously have to butcher the 1F 80 mm mount to get this to work, and it would probably be to weak, but would be fun then! [onefinity_spindle_holder_43mm_tem] [onefinity_spindle_holder_43mm_top_tem]

I like this design, clean and simple. But I think the potential weakness may come from pushing the centerline of the spindle out yet farther from the support of the linear bearings. The dimensions shown here are just rough estimates based on scaling @Temo 's CAD view. I can’t find the actual dimensi…

Hey Bill, [image] Machinist: I can’t find the actual dimensions now that were referenced in an earlier thread At your service :slight_smile:

Hey Bill, [image] Machinist: Ha! I knew you’d come through! :sunglasses: just coincidence that I saw your posting just when you posted it :slight_smile: . I also have to leave right now (until later). What I do is just eagerly use the bookmarks functionality of the forum :slight_smile: With…

Going the other direction here is an 89mm 3d printed bracket I’ve been putting through its paces. 1/2” collet, 2.25hp and actually quieter than ye olde makita and no VFD. It is pushed out from the linear rails to clear the Z stepper and for sure rigidity takes a hit but I’ve been making some deep pa…

So I had a go at a clean build, from the center of linear rod’s to center of spindle would be 74mm, the house is 63mm long. It should be very easy to make, and the bearing blocks come in many different sizes and versions. Now I just need to order my machine, I’ve landed on the Machinist version aft…
