Sieg SX2 Plus Miller CNC Conversion - PART 6

摘要

For the new housing (fig 16), a large lump of aluminium (actually mine was fabricated by two plates screwed and locktited together- it was in stock!) is needed for the motor mount. An alternative would be a simple base plate with the motor mounted on pillars which are fixed to a slotted plate for belt tension adjustment. However, I don't like exposed belts. True - a cover on this could be fitted but the prospect of milling the mount from solid seemed great fun - and it was! (Milling in general and especially rotary milling are my favourite machining processes.)
