Should I use for my Clausing X, Y and Z? Or should I just hacktogether some other odd motors? I do have some Gear Reduced Brusless DC motors top speed 18 rpm, also I do have one Brushless DC GR motor that came off a garage door opener I can't remeber the RPM.
Any ways are designed for a Bridgeport Mill so I would have to make some modifications, not sure why they would not work for Y and Z but are listed as for X. I hope this post is within the scope of the forum.

Hi Ralph.
I am unfamiliar with the Clausing mill. Any chance of a few photos.?. Can you remind us all the of your final game plan, thinking it is it to provide power feed to the 3 axis. I cannot picture in my head how you would attach "these motor" assemblies? to the Y and Z axis, originally designed for the X axis. For much less than 1/2 this total outlay,and with good CNC capabilities I suggest Nema 23 motors and DDCS V3.1 4 axis CNC control box with MPG "manual pulse generator".- This I think would give you 90% of all the milling work you need to do? be it manual or CNC. -- John |

Those are for the X axis feed on a mill. IMHO far too big for the

Clausing 8520. What do you want them for? You said X Y Z which indicates CNC. If so these are totally wrong, as are the geared motors you discussed. Richard On 21/08/2019 19:58, Ralph Hulslander wrote:

Thanks that is why I asked! I do not want to turn dials. I do not need CNC, well at this point I do not need CNC. I just want motorized X, Y and Z.

I have seen some people used electric drills, so I am confused on how big of a motor is needed. It would not take a big motor to move the table, except for Z that might take a bigger motor. But it would take more power when making a cut.? I suppose I will just have to try various motors to see what works, I'll integrate a amp meter into the controls to make comparisons.? Now I Just need some snow on the ground so that I can get into my shop. Thanks again everyone. Ralph ?

I used DC gear motors for power feeds on a few of my machines, including a worm drive car windshield wiper motor for the X axis on my Atlas mill, which is maybe half or two-thirds the size of your Clausing. I think you saw it on homemadetools.net. I don¡¯t know the specs of the motor - I use it all the time, but it¡¯s not really strong enough for roughing cuts.

Mounting it was at least as much work as it was the Z axis stepper for my ¡°Russian ELS¡± and maybe twice as much when you include the simple clutch. It would be unusable without that.
