    I'm not trying to peddle anything, there no even made yet lol . I have never said belt and pulley is the best? Harmonic drive is .As i tell everyone wanting to get one, there is lots on ebay. But everyone still waits. If they didn't work, i would not sell. Thats the bottom line. Again if...

    Best "Affordable" 4th Axis

    OK No problem, I believe he was asking for 4th axis under $1000 for doing pool cues. MAYBE if doing steel or aluminum he might need more. A high quality real worm gear set up is around $8000 for a new one. But you can spend 300$ or $400 and get same job on pool cue with belt and pulley. Add a...

    By saying that, your saying any machine running servos will not be rigid or have accuracy . 40 tooth belt and pulley set ,you have no problem with accuracy for what you need. I myself see lots of machines with harmonic drives daily. Also run a complete machine 6 axis with harmonic drivers on...

    To answer your questions. low cutting loads has to do with complete machine. not just what frame is made of. As for design , the machines as i have been told a lot of times, they are completely over engineered , stuff you will not see on other machine. You can make a machine stronger with...

    Best "Affordable" 4th Axis

    It is the other way around, direct drive will have less torque . Belt and pulley be like 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 , which means motor has to make 4 revolutions to one turn of pulley on 4th axis . Direct drive is 1 to 1 . Unless it is a harmonic drive set up, but they would start around $2000 for a good...

    Hi Kim , the 4th axis will be around $300 to $400 . The one in photo is a little more expensive $500 because high end Japan bearings and Martin sprockets pulleys. Tailstock itself would be around $125 Learning curve would be same as any cnc machine. Always easier to learn when you have one ...
