It has the stock 3/4-16" spindle and the opening is .593" through the whole spindle and even comes with a modified pulley that has the smallest belt sheave removed. It arrived today and will be a nice addition ...

I added 2 of the 270 oz. Keling KL23H276-28-4B steppers and the Keling KL-300-48 48V power supply and she runs like a champ so far. Like a bonehead, I completely forgot to wire in my fuseholder which I will have to do soon- A couple of pics for you of the front of the controller sporting the logo I drew up which I thought was rather appropriate.

I already have the Taig mill and I do a little turning work with it but it would probably be easier to get a Lathe.

The 3-jaw synchronized Taig chuck is simple to use but trying to file down the nib left behind after truing the jaws is a real pain. I pulled the jaws off last night and filed off about 1/16" from the back side of the 'pointy' part, down to the alignment slot on each jaw. Now the washer used to load the jaws can set back behind the jaw surface on the actual steel jaw and you don't have the stupid ...

It will have several changes that should make it easier to build and adjust. You can follow the build at http://www.taigusers.com/. It is my understanding that cnccustom now owns the lathe that Jose designed. Maybe he will join us and share his insights to the overall design of his new machine.
