Adapter plate done

With some help from the CNC mill, I pilot drilled this hole pattern and finished the drilling/countersink with the manual mill. 



 Once mounted, the plate/chuck assembly was centered by checking runout with a dial indicator ±0.001



 Meanwhile, Daniel is cranking out dinosaurs!


 Anyway, back to 4 axis machine testing! Almooooost there! Got the first program up and running after some more alignment of the rotary table.


Bleh, got this far and realized the rotary table motor is up to 230° Farenheit! Usually should not exceed 180°F. Probably just needs a lower amperage setting on the Gecko drive.



More to come soon!

    Get fancy and put a plug on the back of your adapter to fit in the morse taper of your rotary table that way you don't have to indicate it in :D
