I know these threads pop up every now and then but Im just too lazy to go through all the old threads to find an answer.
I'm currently in just in the research phase in this undertaking. I'm not looking for discouragement or rude comments just info on the subject.
I currently came across this gentleman on youtube.
BUILDING A REAL MILLING MACHINE - YouTube
I like his concept and size, I kind of want to do a basic vertical machine with a simple x, y, and z axis.(no quill thats what drill presses are for.) mostly for face milling and slot cutting
My first question is about motor options. I see online they have them with variable speed controls already put in them, I'm curious would that be enough or will I need to install a belt/pulley or gear system or can that variable speed be just enough?
The other concept wall I was running into is the spindle Head housing.
1.) Do they sell complete Spindle heads sets for sale?
2.) Do they heave a standard size spindles?
3.) Who sells them? and where can I look for a good price?
Any info you can give would be helpful
