Perhaps a good idea for the disaster tourists among us...

come forward and don't be ashamed...

Already made some adaptors for the 45W servo motor from cncdrive with the sherline and thought i'd give the last one on the stepperdrive...

What bothered me more was that you are using the drill chuck instead  of a collet.
Forgetfull once is forgiven, but not using a collet, well no sympathy, so you get 20 whippings
and must spend the night in the chuck repair doghouse.

the drill chuck works perfectly for small bits... there are several more issues if your looking for them do....

Your lucky it didn't pull the chuck off its taper. Big time no no

[vintageracer]

That could have been alot worse though.

i know i know

but don't hesitate to share your mistakes...

don't let me be the only one 

come one everybody, make my day

[vintageracer]

Fair enough.



The drill on the left had the feedrate set at 200% cause I was playing with the previous cutter and didn't reset the overrides.
The end mill on the right didn't have any coolant cause I typed a M09 instead of a M08.

I did a bit of searching on eBay and I found a reasonably priced ER16 collet chuck for a MT taper.

I highly recommend you look into replacing that drill chuck.
You will see an improvement right away.

timothy,

does that collet fit a sherline strait away?

would be awesome handy

RIP for your drill and mill 

[vintageracer]

I checked the Sherline website and all the mill models have a MT1 spindle taper.

So, this one here will fit....

Its an ER11 collet chuck. I think the ER16 might be too big.

and a collet set from the same retailer.
