Greetings Fellow Members, Last week I received an e-mail advertisement (I thought from ENCO) for an inexpensive, small tool post. I saved the e-mail (I...
Hello Pat, Congratulations on a fine job! I like your system for adjusting the preload on your spindle bearings. It is very simple and I am sure that it works...
George, starting your project anytime soon? It would be great if you could give this group a boost and document your project. I have an old copy of Pat's Video...

Get the bigger table. You will get twice the travel and can add preloaded ball screws later and still have about 10 inches of x travel. I have the bigger one...

I am just starting to gather parts for a MM. Some where in a topic I saw information about using a front spindle for a MM, but I am unable to find it again...
The more travel the better. One thing that you might look for is a used American X Y table. I found a Palmgren that is very tight listed in the paper. Cost...
