Jan 27, 2017, before I picked up the Craftsman/Atlas. I didn't like it so I returned it, thank God for Amazon Prime

That atlas sounds smooth.
Isn't that a very small amount of energy? It can spin a wheel that fast?
Heck... if that cross slide works at all then I would say use those parts and replace the motor with your spindle...
Your router motor thing is too fast too though! Right?
Dunno what big Jim had his rpms set to in his videos... but it sure didn't look no 18k rpms.

I did some testing of the epoxied bonds on my cross slide, and they're not up to snuff, so I will attempt silver-soldering them to see if that holds. If not, I probably need to find a different approach, because I'm not about to buy an oyxgen/acetylene setup to allow for brazing/welding. |

Hi VK, Maybe a linear motion bearing or controller? Betcha you can find what you need on a site that sells drone parts, or for guys that DIY 3D printers. I just grabbed a random photo here... Do you have nuts in the middle to have a lead screw?   |
