Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Doesnt ANYONE have this drawn up??? was: John's CNC plans???

Mine is the same way. Very little space to move and I need to get creative.
I was thinking about installing the Y-Axis Externally . Looks a little
uglier but it
will save me from having to cut /modify the Ballnut assembly to fit in there
properly. I'm still not sure about this.
What I was talking about earlier was the other side of the leadscrew. (the
right side in the drawings..) Maybe I mistakenly thought that was the
End-Mount for the leadscrew.
I guess I have the general idea now about what I need to do.

Thanks again Bill!

Vince
