Excellent job on the conversion and the video. I would really like to get a set of your plans or drawings for your lathe conversion. Is that possible? I have the perfect doner lathe I would like to convert.
Thank you for sharing your build! You basically cleared up 90% of my internal dialogue. I was given a Delta 46-460 to convert. The most machine experience I have is a 3D printer I've had since November 2019.
Also possible to use 3d printer part permanently, the idea is 'Reinforced 3d printer part'. Print part as a shell, just print it hollow with one cap side open, then fill the hollow with fiber and epoxy resin, The fiber can be fiberglass woven or sophisticated black carbon if you want, nylon webbing strap also good n cheap. Since it have very high tensile strength so do your reinforced part..
I switched over to the kbic-240d a few years ago. Works way better with the original motor! but I still haven't gotten it to work for reversing without killing power first.
Yes! I've got a CNC mill that I plan to use to machine everything. The 3D printed parts are just for fitment and to make sure everything works, fits, and make sure there isn't anything (design wise) that I missed.
@@bgwmachine had to ask, near the end ypu kind of suggested light cuts and if it breaks replace it. Don't want to see hard work hurt itself or you if it fails
You are my new superhero and inspiration!

Nice project! Looking forward to more. The music was a little loud compared to your voice though, but other than that, great video!

Audrino board I think can do the job but not sure about the drivers for those huge stepper motors might need an additional driver
hi, did you share the files anywhere??
Are these parts available for download?also what parts was used in your build? Motors exc.
The 3d parts are for fitment right? Your going to machine or cast the final parts yea?

I bet it would work as is! I'd be interested in trying out your files and doing a conversion myself!
Subbed are these files available anywhere?
Did it work?
