I am in the process of building a manual adjusted (non-cnc) tapering saw for my shop. It's being built from 80/20, 20mm Linear bearing for travel, planned on a 1/2"x 10 Acme drive screw, and planned for DC motor drive. Planning on mounting to a 1/2" flat alum. frame to allow a saw switch if needed at some point. Hoping for some advice on how to finish the powering of the lead screw and shaft drive pin.
From some photos I've seen, some are chain drive, some belt, some as shaft coupling.
Any advice or sharing of photos of your set up would be appreciated. I've learned here on the forum there is a wrong way, but seems many different right ways to set up equipment.:thumbup:
Thanks much
