Precision vertical lead screw for Proxxon MF70 milling machine. (part 2)

[@octavianureche5597]

Hello there, really nice upgrade you did on the MF70, actually there is not much left from the original =)). I really liked how you managed to do the machining with what you had in house. Best wishes !

lucrezi bine si precis ,da sigur merita "jucariile " astea de aluminiu atita efort? Nu sint la nivelul sculelor de precizie si sint destul de scumpe. Eu te sfatuiesc sa maresti putin efortul si sa iti faci propriile scule bune si precise : ai dovedit ca poti ,asa ca dai drumul si fale.

I've been looking at a benchtop mills lately I want to make watch cases. I keep seeing this one and just am not sure. I think I need something that can remove stainless steel fairly easily. But this Is actually a nice machines with your modifications and I was wondering if I should get a lathe or mill and your setup with the rotating chuck was slick, I figured I could use a rotary table to make round things but that was nice. I was also wondering if I could make a mill from a drill press since I'm not doing huge work I think it's strong enough. You answered a lot of my questions

[@SergeiPetrov]

Винт тоненький довольно и крепится в крышке не очень прочной. Наверное длинная пластиковая печатная гайка даст лучший антилюфт (с такой же прочностью как латунная разрезная).

Hello my friend. can you tell me if you made any modifications to insert thrust bearings in the KT70 table? I'm wondering whether to mill the knob or drill the plastic (in the top of the table)?

[@zhadlun]

I drilled plastic

[@28karateka]

@@zhadlun thank you very much for your quick reply :)

[@simonlindorfer2731]

You are making great video. Ilook forward to see what you will make with the MF70. Where can i buy the new motor? Thanks Simon

[@zhadlun]

Aliexpress always will help you

[@Mikesmeyer88]

Could you somehow attach a stronger motor to it? I wonder if you could just cut the top off and put something taller in. I think it would be a super machine.

[@zhadlun]

Yes, it’s possible to attach stronger motor. But you need to understand that a body of machine made of aluminum. If motor will be much stronger, it will destroy machine itself.

[@fkyew]

Am interested in your mods. Can you give sources and part numbers for parts used? It would be very helpful. Thanks for your vids. Awesome work.

[@zhadlun]

Hi, I bought on aliexpress the screw with nut for 3d printers, it's only one think I bought shown in this video. If you have any future questions, let me know, I could try to found a links to exact products.

What's exactly the problem to mill on a drill press?

[@zhadlun]

Rigidity first of all, then not so easy to measure on Z axis.

[@voidfalse]

@@zhadlun So basically, if you replace the hollow column with a solid steel rod, replace the drill chuck with a collect chuck and add support to the moving platform, you get a mill, correct?

[@zhadlun]

@@voidfalse you still need a table. But in general it's possible this way.

[@nesterovsky]

Скажи пожалуйста, материал корпуса головы алюминий или что-то другое? Благодарю

[@zhadlun]

Нажаль і голова і колона, алюміній

[@nesterovsky]

@@zhadlun Зрозумiло. Дякую.

sculele astea au fost noi cind le-ai cumparat? Dece trebuie sa le modifici /reclama zice"SUNT TURNATE DIN ALUMINIU SUB PRESIUNE PENTRU PRECIZIE FOARTE MARE". Eu cred ca de fapt sint niste ornamente de craciun farte scumpe sau sint pentru maschisti care le place sa fie fraieriti. Cu cit ai lucrat la ele /foarte bine si precis / puteai sa iti faci propriile scule si sigur mai performante, trezestete la realitate.
