routers turn at 18000 RPM, which depending on the size of the cutter and the material to be cut, will be too fast and will burn up the cutters quickly. About 4000 rpm would be better. Dan -----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Drill press & cross-slide vice I hear what you're saying about the slop in the drill press. Another idea I thought of was to mount a hand router stationary above the cross slide. Aren't routers supposed to be made for lateral pressures? -----Original Message----- From: Dan Mauch [mailto:dmauch@...] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 6:21 PM To: CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO@... Subject: RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Drill press & cross-slide vice Been there and done that. I used the 5" version from harbor freight for around 60.00 I had to take a lot of slop out of the drive mechanism and made some stepper motor mounts. I install Torrington needle thurst bearings on each axis. I used it to cnc drill some stepper motor mounts. The problem is that you cannot use a drill press as a mill because of the slop in the spindle assembly. The enco mill drill tables for $119 is a better deal in the long run but figure out how you plan to do the spindle first.
