Cnc Id od and thread grinder
« on: July 24, 2019, 02:33:42 PM »
Well started on a project to build a small Id od grinder. Almost all the pieces are in and had a few set backs. I'm includingapic of some of the initial electronics.  I'll have some questions soon but wish me luck.

Just got the cross slide in last night.  Today I'm measuring and designing the adapter plates and mounts and figuring out heights for the main axis.  1 question I am planning on using a stepper for the spindle ( Low rpm)  and a y axis for the thread grinding. Is there a way to config mach that way. 1 time keep turning 2nd move proportionally to the z axis. ( the 2nd I can do with gcode easy enough).

100mm linear axis

I am not sure I fully understand this ?

When I am grinding the od.  I want the steeper to just rotate at a rpm. When i go to grind in the threading want to be able to control rotation like threading on a lathe. Slow rpm and directly proportional to movement in the z axis

Yes it could be done where the work rotation is essentially a Rotary Axis.

Are you planning on Mach3 or Mach4 ?

Probably 4 seems more adaptable

Made the plate to mount the x axis to the z axis.  Had to get metric access for the pillow blocks (linear bearings) damn they cost.  Thank God I'll be able to use imperial feathers for most of the rest.  I'll post a  pic tomorrow. It's still at work right now.

Opps just reread it metric screws and imperial threads.  Oh well here is the latest pic. Base plate is next on the list.
