I'm having somewhat of a dilemma and, " I'm not totally sure but the problem may be I don't know what the hell I'm doin" ... :D:D I want to learn cnc. Which is the goal. I have a standard zx 45 mill that I want to convert. If I install the required motors combined with zero knowledge of...

Lol.... Admittinly when I first glanced at them my wonder kicked in about wanting to learn as much as I can. And was looking at them as a new machining technique. Then I read the words. :D. As a newb I could of used every single one so far. May even save pic for referenceRof}

Thanks for the response. I hope that I didn't come off as rude concerning the plans. Was simply asking a question of why.:) . I am duly impressed with the plans and the build itself. So much so that my long term goal is to be able to trade this motor to a friend for a 69 olds cutlass...

I am very intrested in this motor and build thread. I hope to build this one also, and your thread is a great kickstart. I have noticed in your photos that you are using belt drive inside the case. And was wandering if this was your choice or do the plans specify them.? The real motor is...

Your first pic says it all. If you notice the rod is not inline with your cylinder. From the looks of it you should have the same angle with the cylinder and piston rod. This would cause timing issues. The rest of the problems are probably negligible except for the piston length. If it is...

Yes it does have a smaller wheel. So you are prob correct. I used what I thought was good clearance in front. Although these were freehand grinds and not against the wheel table.. Or whatever it's called. The tool would blunt rather quickly if I fed it in the corner. The rest of the cut...

Well I'm glad my thinking wasn't to far off. I was using dykem and of course my sharpie goin down. Was marking the work and not the tool. Well I went on a grinding spree and made up 4 double tipped tools. And broke out a little puny grinder I had when starting out, that for some reason...

Been messing with some drag wheels for my fishing poles and needed to take .050 of an inside( bored) hole. So now the problem:mad: When facing I would start at center and work to the edge, but there would always be a beveled edge in the corner. And for the life of me i, couldn't get a...

I have a milling attachment made by taig that is similar in every way. The only difference is that two of them are put together. My guess is that the alum. Joining piece is to offer y and. Z movement. And x in certain situations. Is actually a really good idea that I would like to have on mine...

Ahh the lights are coming on now. Thanks

I was looking at this photo posted for the heads posted here,. This is not my work, so with that said I thought it may be a good thread for explanation of complicated cuts that the rest of us draw a blank. Maybe post your pic and setup. And open to any question / poster. Here is...

I've also downloaded the plans, and would love to see a build log on this motor Hint hint;);)

I have two morse taper #1 endmills for sale. I bought them without noticing the taper shank, and cannot use them. The still have packing grease which looks like rust, but are rust free. One is a Browne and sharpe 1/4 inch 4 flute And the other I don't know brand but is 3/8 inch 4 flute...

Yes I actually went and bought a router bit set at harbor freight. Of course they turn out to be the 1/4 inch shank. But their is also the problem of the bearing. The cut I need to make doesn't give room for much more than the cut, so the bearing kills the prospect. I've heard of others...

I have some indexable inserts for trade. I'm looking for corner rounding end mills. There are two different brands Kennametal 1 5 pack of dnmg432mp These are the diamond shaped ones 1 5 pack of ng3125lk. These are for cutoff or I think internal grooving Tool flo 1 8...

Thanx for all the advise, I agree with all of it. Although let me clarify that what Iam doing is buying all the equipment. I need to do this job in steps and the cheapest way possible. So I plan to install meaning dig the line , mount the boxes, get my conduit ready, but not the physical...

Trying to pick correct equipment needed to wire my garage for 220v. Granted the mill and welder won't be used at the same time. Tools: Zx 45 mill. 220 v 17/ 8.5 amp Miller welder. Mig tig. 230 v. 150 amps at 26% Vdc...

Here's the backside. Only real change from plans is the center valley to clear the oversized con-rod. And a different way of using the spring.

Thought I would post finished pics of my dads poppin. Remade the burner and I think it is a nice fit. Also made a stand for presentation. Tried to mimic the old hit and miss mounting blocks. Was made out of an old gunstock again. I like using this style wood, as it provides a nice finish with a...
