4th Axis Plans

Want a 4th Axis but a factory unit is too costly for the budget! Build your own for about a 1/4 of the cost of a factory unit. These plans are in fusion format include a completely assembled 3D model. Also included is a spreadsheet for all parts and materials and where to buy. Also, for those not sure how to wire and configure it to your machine to make it work in Path/pilot no worries we got you there. I have drafted step by step instructions to take you from wire to software setup. Are you ready to start making 4th axis chips!

It features, 50:1 harmonic drive for max speed of 12 RPM, 5-inch chuck with option to put both 3 and 4 jaw plus ER40/50 collet system, pass through hole in back cover for long work/stock pieces. Simple to machine for a hobbyist like myself.

New Addition!! I added to the Plan Set a Trunnion adapter for the Xin Dian PAF (H54-8-55) Self centering vise.
