meanwhile out in the garage part II

[kopcicle]

It's finally on the way

the replacement lathe ships this week

 

[kopcicle]

And now for something completely different

The change gears were really getting on my nerves.

So a gearbox is the new order of the day.
Convince me you are serious in PM, or can contribute and I'll share code an BOM.
The current boggle is sourcing pinion/spur gear stock.
All the gears are 24 DPI 14.5 degree pressure angle.
I'd rather cut off and finish the gears myself as individual gears are $25 and up.
If I'm going to the bother of building one I may as well build a few, or at least the parts for a few.
Anyone that has 6" tooling they can spare can also contact me in PM.
I'm not comfortable releasing the code in public as nearly all of it isn't mine. It may not seem like much on the surface but there are hours of work here without counting the years of experience that led up to it. In short I will reasonably protect the intellectual property and the author will know where each copy is.

I'm getting construction help from the usual suspects.

Tooling , unique and ubiquitous is from Joel @ mymachineshop.net

And very special Thank You to Wonder Woman for putting up with me.

Okay , so it reads like a rehearsed acceptance speech. It needed to be said. Again it's my thread and I can do what I want with it.

So starts another chapter in
Meanwhile, out in the garage.
And so it goes ...

of course Kopcicle gets a lathe and the first thing he makes is parts for a lathe LOL.

How long before you're turning delrin on there for antenna parts?

As long as it's staying within the parameters of BattleBot design rules, you’re good to go. Remember, the maximum allowed weight is 250.0 pounds and your Bot must fit completely within the space of an 8’ x 8’ square….

Gary , get me a pick of your data plate so I can keep an eye out for accessories. I think we share a bunch of common parts.

 

[Low_Boy]

I am surprised how much I can buy directly from Atlas Clausing. I will get the info to you. The one I have is I believe from the 40's

The one difference that comes to mind is our spindles. Mine is 1" -10 TPI yours is 1" -8 TPI . We do share change gears though.

Sorry I missed this.
I already have. Issue with the PFTE, Delrin, any of that crap is the chip, yes, chip, not chips, one chip per pass. A real good shop vacuum will take it off the tool but when it doesn't ...

Getting screwed

 

[Shadetree Mechanic]

Recirculating ball screw, nice and smooth precision. We used to have machines at work that used them. Keep them lubed and keep them clean, good to go.
