CNC bits ?

Never thought of that! What thread did you use?

The thread O.D. is 7.02mm (9/32" - 0.279") and the pitch is 40TPI, I don't think you will find a tap or button die for it. It has to be screwcut on a lathe I think. The plastic nut is 19mm x Pitch 2mm by the way!

Hi Chris, My machine was made by the head CNC machinist from company called Metalstorm( www.metalstorm.com ). They make weoponry not CNCs, it was just his personal project until he built a larger one. It is built from solid aluminium billet and weighs 50 kilos, solid as a rock but no brand name I'm sorry!

Gwyn,

Are you selling this adaptor yet?

>My 1/4" router now has a Dremel chuck for the 1/8th bits. The Dremel collet chuck and locknut are available as spares from the Dremel shop. My router is an Ozito PRG-621V which is ideal for CNC as it has onboard variable speed and is practically disposable at AUD$65.00 (US$55.00) I will make some more of these Dremel adaptors when I get some time shortly and add them to the Aerosim Solutions product list! The cutters from virtualvillage are great for machining plastics and I have engraved some aluminium with them quite successfully too.<

Thanks Eddie
