He's certainly a better TIG welder than I will ever be.

If you do decide to do it, take a video and you-tube it. It should be an interesting piece. The TV show "when disasters strike" comes to mind.   I have thought about doing the same thing, but opposite of what your shooting for.  A slower speed would be more feasible. In the end, after all the design, materials, and everything else to make a good solid unit, it would prolly be a better idea to just purchase a spindle designed for your needs.

Dave's hit the big time now. You did tell them that you require 3% of sales revenue, + a keg of beer as a convenience charge, didn't you??

Friday afternoon eh? OUCH! I bet you weren't a pleasant person to be around after that kick in the head. At least it was something you were able to make yourself, you did get it out on time, AND you can kick the other guy to the curb.

Looks good Dave. One can never have enough CNC machines. Here's an idea, since your still in the design phase. How about some sort of spacers to raise the gantry up. That way, if you should desire to slap a vice, 4th axis, jigs, or whatever else on the table, there would be no worries about using up Z space, or clearance issues. Food for thought, anyhow. Oh, build me one and ship it to me while your at it. All complimentary, of course.
