SB16 power lead screw ideas - Album on Imgur
Looking to fit a brushed DC treadmill motor for am electric leadscrew, but unfortunately have the lead screw and carriage ripped off already.
Just thinking at this point, nowhere near committing to it.
Can someone tram their carriage all the way to the headstock and grab a measurement and picture for me? It LOOKS like there's enough room with a bit of trimming on the motor housing, I've already found room for encoders on the headstock and gearbox (surplus 4096 SSI from work that are no longer used).
Not planning to go CNC, but would like to be able to cut metric, and have the benefit of super slow feed rates.
Anyways, just looking at options. I plan to thread/key my replacement shafts for the gearbox to take encoders and drive from treadmill motor.
Anyways, if anyone can give me a hand it would be appreciated. Working in -30 can't keep the frost off in the shop.. this will be slow.
