One of these days I'll get around to casting this mount for my harmonic drive. It pulls from the sand nicely. Drawn with Alibre CAM. Fitted to the motor. Then tapers and draft added and expanded by 3%

Excellent! Thanks for including the photos. I got the idea from your description, but photos are better. Sometimes my brain sees things that are not, and other times is doesn't see things that are!

If I ever get a printer that will print metal objects, I just might do that! My interim plan is to learn to print stuff I can use as patterns for sand casting molds. I've got a number of projects

I downloaded all of them I could find, and ordered the ones that I thought I could actually use in dead-tree versions, too. The only things I didn't order that way are the ones for wiring and motors,

It's not all of them, but it is all up to #39, which is pretty nice. I've got most of them. You can order them direct from the publisher for (last I did it,) about $10-15 each, or though Amazon. I've

If all you have is a lathe; depending on the size of the plates, and if you have a lathe faceplate you can make a big flycutter our of it. Mount the work on an angle plate affixed to the cross s lide
