I am converting an old XLO knee mill and I have a question on driving the quill.
Is it ok to drive the Quill from this point (Picture)
The machine I have had an air over hydraulics system that had cylinder and chain drive to drive this point. (picture)
I thought about using a 20 to 1 or higher gear reducer and driving the quill handle but the kits to convert use a ballscrew, I just don't have any information on how they connect the quill feed.
Anyone have links to pictures using a ball screw method?
