OneFinity as Press

Haven’t seen this so thought I’d share. Sorry if this is old news.

Was thinking about a press for inlay glue ups and realized I already had one in the cnc. Didn’t want to put strain on the shaft or bearings so 3d printed a Piston with a void on top for the shaft, a wide shoulder for the spindle casing, and a flat flared base to press on the work piece. Covered the inlay with a wide board for more even pressure. Have to be gentle loading the pressure but works great.

That is an awesome idea!

Would you be willing to share the print file?

Happy to share.

This accommodates my 65mm spindle. May need to scale up the size for an 80mm.
