Glad I could help!
I haven’t gotten around to installing mine yet. Too much to learn with the cnc alone. This will help. Suggestion… build a dongle loop back plug to complete the alarm loop. When you disconnect the rotary, plug your dongle in!
Great idea. There's also a method of wiring it such that it doesn't alarm, even without the dongle. It was floated in the Masso forums.
Very unique and helpful channel content. Thanks once again.
My pleasure!
Seriously, I cannot thank you enough
I am up and running my rotary.
@@kenfloyd6541 I'm glad to hear it!
If you're setting a z offset off of the MT2 65 tailstock, it's ~28mm. The top of the tailstock is 93mm from the bottom and the live center is 65mm from the bottom. At least those are the dimensions of the one that I bought on Amazon.
I feel like there must be different versions that they sell. I see some with the motor orientation on the opposite side too.
What bit did you use to cut the holes in the 40x20 extruded aluminum?
Feeds/speeds?
I've yet to cut aluminum on my Elite, so I'm nervous.
It’s been so long can’t remember the speeds and feeds. I’m sure I started with the Bits N Bits data and slowed it down a little. I used their 1/8” O Flute.
Does the spindle have an internal taper? Does it have a hole all the way through?
I wish I could answer. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Is the spindle hollow, so you could pass a rod thru it? And would it accept a Morse taper with the chuck off?
The version in this video does not have a hollow spindle.
