It's been a long process to build the parts I need
to convert the Enco Drill/Mill to CNC. Below are some of the parts I have
created. I still have a long way to go.
Here I have the bearing plates for the X and Y-axis
directions. The Y-axis plate has the ball screw and pulley on it.
You can see the bearings in the X-axis plate and the
bearing clamp plate attached as well.
Here is the completed
Z-axis assembly. This assembly has two bearings in it. If you look very
close you can see the pulley system and the small toothed belt inside. Installing
the ball nut on the ball screw was a fun experience. I added tape to the
end of the ball screw, I don't want that screw coming out of the nut while
I play with it.
