If you must strike a mounted chuck - esp. laterally - be very cautious not to Brinell the nearest headstock bearing races.

I love this build but I want to make a chuck for a surface grinder. Do you think the heat build up would be an issue for the epoxy?..I'm leaning towards yes
@@MrPtrvazq I really don't know what to tell you about this. If your grinder has coolant, I guess it will be fine ..
@@machinistnick I think I'm going to do it a wee bit different.As knife maker I use heat to separate epoxied parts if I have to so that kind of answers my question. Thanks for the response
I have got the same brand since 1986 with its attachments for different purposes and still in v.good condition ..I bought it in Belgade in Yugoslavia at that time ...
Those attachments (like drill stand, circular saw adapter, etc) you have, are for this type of Iskra drills with 2 bolt heads near the chuck? I have 2 drills exactly like the one in the video and I've been looking for manuals, catalogs or photos of those accessories to try recreating them with wood or 3D printers, but couldn't find any information about this on internet

Great software! I noticed that the size increased slightly due to the JRE folder. I'm wondering if it's possible to use a global JRE installation, since other software also uses it. Additionally, I'd like to know if this software can be made portable, meaning if it would still work if I transfer the folder to another computer.
The software is Open Source. You can use the JRE of the computer to run the app. The code is available on GitHub. Feel free to fork github.com/nsiatras/pdf-compressor
Butta fingers
This is really cool, I'm thinking of making one of these for my 3x72 grinder, do you have a more detailed list on the electronic parts?
Thank you. The main "electronic" parts are 2 door electromagnets, with 280kg force and a 12V 2Amps power supply.
Muy buenas, que tal es ese taladro fresador, a que R.P.M. trabajas con las fresas?
Great video mate! I got this one, my late father used it and I'd like to continue using it. I need to replace the chuck, but I'm having some issues. Can you help with two things? 1. My chuck is never blocked, so when I hit it with the hammer like you did at 8:33 it just turns in any direction, I can't seem to get it off. 2. What does the red button do, the one near the chuck? From what I see on mine, there's three positions, front, mid and back. Is it somehow connected with my issues with the chuck replacement? Thanks!
Hello, the red button is a gear selection switch. This drill has a high and low speed/gears. If you chuck turns freely then it must be on the higher speed. Try to change the gear to the lower speed and try the way I used to remove it. Otherwise you need to open the gearbox and find a way to "stall" the spindle shaft in order to unscrew the chuck
@@machinistnick Hi Nick, thanks for the swift reply. I tried the change of gear and it didn't help, but now I at least know what is the issue. I will sort it out. Again, thanks for the help :) Cheers mate
@@firstweekofwinter You are most welcome!
what happens in the event of a power failure? 😬
The power supply capacitors will maintain the magnetic field for 1 to 1.5 seconds. The drill will stop instantly
Very nice build, door magnets are easy to get, cheap and powerful. I also like the the suggestion of using a heat gun to warm up the parts to be welded, great suggestion there. This will making drilling a lot of holes with a center drill after marking them so much quicker and easy. And it works well in the traditional sense on a surface grinder too. Good stuff, I like!
what happens when your drill goes through
You get a spark and the circuit breaker goes off.
@paulsawczyc5019 i just meant wonder i you could have left a lil filler out for drill space
@@ahill7099 Oh - well you could just put a flat piece of steel on top of the magnet - maybe like 1/4 inch thick as a protector - it would still be magnetic.
Bad build. No hole in middle.
Great idea )
Very cool!
Drilling dry? Use penetrating oil. We do. Keeps bit cooler and drills better. But you know that. I'll bet you wanted to keep the piece clean! Right, eh ?
Thaaaaat's not a chuck. A machinist would know that.
It is an electromagnetic chuck
its a magnetic vise
@@ahill7099 No. It is a chuck. vise. noun. ˈvīs. : any of various tools with two jaws for holding work that close usually by a screw or lever
Nice build but confusing grammar. Drill chucks are devices used to hold a drill or other cutting tools on a spindle. You have made a nice clamp.
@@machinistnick that is definitely not a chuck of any kind
Very cool build! Noob question though, aren't you afraid of penetrating your cool new electromagnetic holder??
I already made a 20mm hole in the middle in order to avoid injuries.
Can you specify what you mean by liquid glass resin? Cool build!
It is a 2-component, clear solvent-free epoxy resin.
Electromagnetic holding plate.
Needs a hole in middle.
What kind of collets are you using with drill press?
The collet is ER32.
I like the idea of fixing the top of the machine to the wall. It must make a huge difference in stability and reduces vibration a lot.
Thank you for the post. FluidNC did not want to support Backlash Compensation. Wish I could find the link. RabbitGRBL looks like the way to go. Their current website is very low effort and hard to find information Looks like everything is posted on Discord. Looks like about $100USD for the board and software.
You measured 2350 rpm. With a ratio of 4.8:1, the spindle runs at 11300 RPM. My spindle runs at 24000 RPM. Do you think the belt drive can withstand this double speed? Have you possibly tested this on your machine already?
The belt will hold. The problem you are going to face is that the bearings of the Milling Machine's spindle will be overheated.
Can you give me link to buy it?thanks
Hello sir, I m wondering what motor did you use for the Z axis? The head looks really heavy, will something like a 10N.m nema 34 would suit this machine? Also did you add a counterweight at some point? Or changing the spindle motor was enough to lighten the head ?
Hello, I used a 12Nm Nema34 Closed Loop stepper and I also added 2 air pistons to support the head.
@@machinistnick Ok I was planning on converting a BF 30, but had an opportunity to buy a cheaper zx7045... Unfortunately all my electronic is dimensioned for a bf30 (closed loop 8NM for x and y , and 10NM for the Z
@@machinistnick thanks
Hello, did you make any modifications on your ZX7016 to gain rigidity ? It looks surprisingly less subject to vibrations than mine when you are milling ! Thank you :)
I do not own this machine anymore but I had changed the gibs with brassed gibs I built myself. The brassed gibs had much smoother motion and better surface contact.
Thanks @@machinistnick
Could someone explain how this works? Does it only compensate when changing from up to down or down to up? Or maybe it moves a percentage extra from the code to compensate for the backlash caused by load?
It works for both direction changes, up-to-down and down-to-up and it also work for all axes (X,Y,Z,A etc.). All you need is to measure the backlash distance for each axis of your machine and add it to the $180 (X Axis) , $181(Y Axis), $182 (Z Axis) and $183 (A Axis) parameters of the SourceRabbit 4-Axis CNC Motherboard.

@@ifvmes6788 Are you on 64bit windows ? Did you download the Installation wizard from github.com/nsiatras/pdf-compressor/releases/tag/v1.0 ?
Your reduction ratio id 4.8:1, this means spindle speed @ 24k motor speed = 5 000 rpm. Definitely more torque than direct drive. Is the 5k rpm enough to mill at high speeds ? Btw very nice work
5000rpm is low for high speed machining. Ι mostly mill aluminum with 10mm 3flute endmills using 2650RPM at 1200mm/min. It is more torquey than speedy...
What thing does the linear guide assembly go into?
It is the Z Axis of a CNC router
This is a great solution to the RPM issue of the Chinese spindles. Using mostly off the shelf components at that.. well done.
The belt driven spindle has also a much smoother rotation and the finishing is a million times better than the geared one :)
@@machinistnick any link to the belt driven spindle ? did you make it yourself or was it an offshelf product
@@nullkuhlI built it myself
@@machinistnick pretty cool, could you post more details about it, i understand the gears part you built yourself, but what about the cylinder for the geared one and so
@@nullkuhl The main pulley is attached to the spindle's shaft. Take a look how I built it facebook.com/reel/586630006912055/
Can u also make a video about the design and dimensions of the motormounts?
The drill bit ground like this is eccentric, causing it to wobble during operation, which can damage the spindle of the drilling machine
does this mean you have to re-alignment your tailstock everytime you reinstall your chuck?
I use to align the tailstock to the headstock spindle bore. That way is always better.
Thanks Nick!!!
I have come to this from a link in a forum. There were doubts on there whether a round column would ever make a good mill, I wonder how this stacks up as a mill seems to be OK from the vid. I want one of these but cannot buy or get them sent to the uk. I would like it for its drilling abilities alone.
It is not the sturdiest machine out there but... it worked... If you are asking me if I am going to do it again the answer is No. I wouldn't convert an other column mill/drill to CNC. There are better manual machines that can be converted to CNC. Check my other videos. I am currently working with a ZX7045 mill that I converted to CNC.
@@machinistnick OK that's interesting to know. I was just wondering whether without the Cnc adaption it was a good drill/Miller, I suppose at that price it will not be top notch.
@@patricksmith4424 It is actually a very good Drill. As for milling I can say it is bellow average, it is for very light use.
@@machinistnickyeh by the look of it, it seems more of a drill, good info thanks.
Did you have mounted the Drill on the wall ?
Yes, I actually did. 2 mounting points, one on the wall and one on the floor, always improves the performance of drill presses.
@@machinistnick thank you vor quick Response, was the reason the swinging of the Drillpress ? i have the same Problem, you can See in my Videos. best regards Thomas
@@thomasmuller6838 Exactly. The base of the drill press is a bit thin. The thin metal causes swinging. Adding a second mounting point to the wall eliminates the swinging.
@@machinistnick yes i will do ist Like you, 👍
Perfect !!
Well done Nick!
Looks good!! Thanks for showing!!
what are the specs on the ball screw for the z axis?
I use a C7 DFU2505 Ballscrew

@@jameslee522 About 700mm
Thank you, I'm having that problem now hopefully it works. Great job 👍
Smart! Most bolts are made of good steel, so that's an advantage from the start.
Could you show us the wiring diagram?
i have the same inverter, it is fool proof. You take the 2 cables phase one, zero plug them into the inv. Earth must been plugin to. then you take the 3 cables from the 3 phase motor and plug them into the inv. the motor can be a 220V then it should be (should... check the motor wiring from the producer) in triangle wiring not STAR. It would get warm mine did, but it dint blow up. Lucky me. He did take the 2 powercables from the mainswitch. Very easy to do.
