tool dependancy

• types of machine tools capable of being build by concrete and floating precision (spindle requirements and any other precision parts listed) (manhy of the tool description are taken from wikipedia)
• lathe: a machine tool which rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation.
  • requires: a stiff spindle(roller bearings generally) with a chuck adapter on the end, 2 axis or movement, one long way and another about ¼ the length of the long axis, a tail stock with a morse taper, a quick change gear box for threading parts (only on manuals, hybride and cnc will use tachometer and servos to thread)
• Versamil attacment for lathe: a milling head attachment for the lathe with 2 axis of movement, a vertical linear travel (Y axis) and a rotary axis around the Y axis (B axis) plus a spindle with a quick attach plate for various attacment (milling, grinding, Gear cutting, off center drilling). this allows us to (much slower), create parts of this caliber [[1]]
  • requierments: a vertical axis (4 thinner ground ways mounted between plates), a motor mount with pulleys ending in a spine coupler capable of running 4 000 RPM),
• Centerless grinder
