Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Surface grinder feed project

Hey Dough,
Good point the air cylinder. Just put on one side a
accumulation tank with light oil into the line
and you have the thing running
smooth and with a perfect fine tuning.
I fitted a Diam. 40mm by 1600mm cutting piston with it
and Iso 10 oil. Marvellous!!!
No jumps, jerks break outs or what ever effects the machine
had before.
The Idea with the stepper motor sounds great.
Go on
