Build Your Own High Speed Spindle Instructions NEW LATHE
ATTACHMENT! A simple, high speed
air spindle for engraving, grinding, or milling with small diameter tools.
These plans describe a simple, light duty spindle you can build in a few
hours. The tool is designed to hold
1/4" bits but you can adapt it to 1/8" and smaller tools. This is a LIGHT DUTY spindle capable of cutting
approximately .06" deep in hard wood at 50 inches per minute feedrate
with a 1/4" cutter. You must have a source of compressed air - 3 CFM at
90 PSI minimum. Total cost to build it is about 30 bucks, and it
is small. Only takes up about 4 inches of Z height. Less that the average
drill bit!!. Also included instructions for mounting on a Sherline mill, and
now includes drawings for lathe attachment.
This is an even more useful, fantastic for machining parts in the
spindle or as a mini toolpost grinder!!! 10 bucks gets you a 10 page emailed file (Adobe
Acrobat) from me containing detailed instructions and drawings plus sources
for all your parts. You can choose to do it my way or use the info in
addition to what you have on hand. You must have Adobe Acrobat and WinZip to use
the electronic data I send. Obviously you must have a source of compressed
air. The air spindle can be built with a lathe and a drill press. I will try
to reply to all purchases within 24 hours. Available Now!! |
