This is just a thought, as a side project mostly.
I have a small CNC mill, and I'd like to have a small index head with it also.
Has anybody actually made a small index head with a chuck before? I have a 4 Jaw chuck that came with my southbend 9" and I'd like to have it doing more than just sitting on storage.
My question basically is, how is the shaft that the chuck or collets are in spin while still being rigid? Is it just a good tight fit, or are there bearings?
I have wanted a project for a while now, and it's between an index head, or a cross drilling tool post for my lathe, but I just can't decide which!
