Gave the new head and spindle a work out today.
Wanted to make a clamp for the spindle lead as when I fitted the 4 core lead to the plug I had to cut off the part that clamps the lead to the plug.
As you can see in the pic I put a diamond pattern on the out side of the part one pass at 30 and the second at 150 degrees. This made the mill run the x,y,z axis simultaneously all with no problems. This was done with a 6mm ball mill at 2500mm/min with a RPM of 9500 and took about 20 minutes to make the first one (both sides) from scrap.
The ribbing on the outside curved ends is from the gcode not being done in g2-3 but small segments. We have now sorted the problem between rhino and emc2
The last pic I have just sat the one part in place so you get the idea.
If I had try to make this with the old head it would have take for ever and and with the heave head and constant z axes changes it would of come not so good.
Just a little more tuning and it done
Very happy
