Wood router duty cycle?

improve run out.

Dial indicator or dial Test indicator? You need an indicator that will measure .0001

improve run out.

I have both, but I expect runout to be around 0.003".

improve run out.

things it isn't

Then use a "tenths" indicator to get a good, true reading.

Using a .001 indicator will show you jack shit.

Really. I do this for a living...

I've got a speeder (belt driven only) which is straight shank. I got it from eBay some years ago. But I'm holding on to it for my Bridgeport.

Just letting you know that they exist -- and once you know what you are looking for (mine is in a wooden box with a sliding top, FWIW) your scrounging skills should turn one up.

The main thing when it is mounted is that you have to tell the CNC to not fully retract the spindle as it clamps to the OD of the quill.

Good Luck, DoN.

That one looks *nice*! I would like to see the top end of the anti-rotation strap to see how it is locked to the quill to determine how much of Z-axis travel would be swallowed up.

Enjoy, DoN.

Well ... that may depend on how old it is. I have a Craftsman router from about 1976 which would clamp nicely to some channel (with clearance milled for the larger air intake at the top) which would probably do quite well for the task.

But more recent ones are certainly not as durable.

Enjoy, DoN.

Hey All,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my fellow Canadians.

It's Turkey Day here, and the pumpkin pie looks great!!

Take care. Have a great day.

I am the Sword of my Family and the Shield of my Nation. If sent, I will crush everything you have built, burn everything you love, and kill every one of you. (Hebrew quote)

Did I leave my web cam on again? ;-)

Well, no matter, i just finished the pie. I couldn't wait till tomorrow and the label said, "Use by 10/10/10" :)

Let us all hope that it will be a peaceful and harmonious day as well.

As a ex-Canadian ( not completely, I have dual citezenship) I am ashamed to say I had forgotten it completely. There is no equivalent here in Auz, but Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
