Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] AutoCAD drawings of Milling Machines wanted...

just design or will you be building it as well?

for some good detailed machine tool photos check
http://www.lathes.co.uk/page21.html
looks like the mill section is only open on sundays now

also many manufacturers of machine elements have links
to cad files from their online catalogs ,try
http://www.nookindustries.com/
http://www.thomsonind.com/
http://www.us.nsk.com
this will get you the details of all the little bits and some
examples of how they can go together

and you can head over to the google image search at
http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en
and try searches on keywords like
milling machine
linear bearing
hexapod
spindle
cartridge spindle
ball screw
crossed roller
and anything else machine related you can think of
