Micro oilbath system ......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrATen9ZU2k

Protrackcorp thats an awesome conversion - I love your oiler I will
have to copy that .

I just ordered a Ballscrew CNC Taig - at that price its a hell of a deal for a ballscrew CNC ready unit ....

I bought the Deepgrove1 system years ago and with Paul's help upgraded to the Gecko 540 . Absolutely awesome system at almost half the price .

Not as of yet but I will be eventually fitting the ER25 headstock on the mill as to use a .500 inch high helix carbide - aluminum cutter bit .

Hello Steve and thank you

No preload on this one as it has 4 bearings and they were a tight fit on the shaft , I cannot feel any lateral give so every thing is very tight but I have since
made...

Total cost of me complete conversion was less than a $100.00 .

I have ordered another ER32 & ER25 collet chucks but with a shorter 100mm shaft and on a 20mm diameter shaft .The first crack at this...

The finished ptoduct and here are the pictures on how I approached this , I had to use the Taig bearing spacer as a adapter to fasten the headstock to the 4 axis to mill the new 42mm bearing slots ....

Has anyone bought or converted a Taig headstock to ER32 Collet
I just sourced the parts and will post results below

Could have bought this but I think making one would be cheaper ,

I like the gear better - Deepgroove1 on Ebay has borrowed my design and sells a kit if you are interested in one . I have given him my blessing on replicating it .

Awaiting price myself - that is a absolute beautiful job by Katana man and Kenny Duval

The cnc lathe conversion is all my design , I did a anti backlash gear drive on one and a lead screw drive on the other

Kenny what type of mill is that - Your enclosure is very nice also -

Sorry for the late reply guys



This is just a hobby for me - I make parts for myself for remote control boats and make the odd part for fellow boaters , Mostly motor mounts but
have done the...

That's a very nice and clean setup

I am going to order the lathe within the next 24 hours this thread certainly was the deciding factor as I am looking for the biggest bang for the buck .

Thanks guys awesome input

Ok I see whats going on and a little bit of an optical illusion - here is a better look at a different angle - that is the stepper for the leadscrew

There isn't - Sorry where do you see that

This is the absolute final product , a complete CNC + manual over electric Taig lathe work bench . Please excuse the carpet I don't know where on earth the previous owners bought that or what would...

You are correct in that assumption - but the rack can be set with the eccentric bushing to be very close in tolerances . for my applications if its out a bit on the CNC rigs its a minor issue . all...

I haven't done anything yet but am leaning to go this direction , just scroll down and you will see the spring setup here - simplistic but effective

Kenny I think 110 oz/in should work good

Kenny you can copy anything you want my friend - I am only happy to help in any way I can - for being a supposed nob you are doing very nice job on your conversion......:wave:. Is that your...

Yes Kenny that is correct but it isn't 100% necessary , It will function just as good without it . the headstock and carriage support is really all that is needed
