General Mach Discussion / Re: Bridgeport Quill Feed Mechanism
« on: September 15, 2008, 11:58:15 PM »RC,
Just finished going through all 15 pages in the forum Ray L isted, and find he used the knee for the Z.
also see a guy name of Hood on that forum. He just has to have a clone. Just like S--T. he's everywhere.
Attached pic of my Excello mill. The z servo drives a shaft with a miter gear to the ball screw.
The ball screw replaces the quill stop screw.
Brett use to have a link on his web page to Hoods machine pics, but not anymore.
As far as the pic with the quill handle. Got a torch?
Ed
Except that message #11 gives pictures of pretty much all the parts required to do a quill conversion in a nice, clean way. I believe there's a whole thread somewhere there dedicated to that machine.
Regards,
Ray L.
