Ep55: Drill Press upgrade | Finished at last!

[@WillemvanLonden]

In my opinion you are one of the best narrators on KZbin.

[@routercnc9517]

Thank you, that is very kind of you. I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing!

[@pierreboone568]

its just a simple drill 🙂 nice work again.

[@routercnc9517]

It certainly used to be!

[@sacene]

Thanks for the content! I just want to see you build stuff.

[@routercnc9517]

OK thanks. I’ll see what I can do!

[@panbekon1470]

For the backlash, you can just put 0.1mm variable compenastion in driving that motor

[@routercnc9517]

Ooh! Yes that’s a great idea. Software backlash compensation on change of direction.thanks!

[@Somun-a]

Looks like a cnc mill now :) For the thrust bearings, I hope you didn't forget to grease them (I think the video just shows the dry fitting).

[@routercnc9517]

Yes they had a light coat of grease. Not much as they would attract dirt and maybe swarf.

[@meb5680]

I think you should just get it over with and turn this into a cnc mill! There plenty of DIY mills on KZbin for inspiration.

[@routercnc9517]

Tempting but a fair bit of work in quill/spindle. Also the knee is only supported on 2 linear carriages so not very stiff for lateral forces.

[@sonsrc1326]

Glad u sorted that out still think u should mill with it lol

[@routercnc9517]

Don't encourage that other guy!
