I know dude I understood what you meant, myshank gear rocks totally agree.

Nice setup Todd very organised and clean!

Hi

If you look at the blade runner post Todd is using
Sewing needle size 10.

Ha ha good bye diamond it was nice knowing you !

Nice work as usual Sillitoe, what's telling the head to not go down too far ?
Is it some sort of micro switch or sensor ?

Merry Xmas and happy new year too u

Hey there nice tweeters ! Good find !

You have to congratulate vinylrecorder ! I think they have done a wonderfull job with The t560 and he got this cutter head made from using tweeters great effort The positive thing is they kept the cost low only 3200 euro that's not expensive compared to Scully or vms systems. And to make this dream ...

Hi

I never tried tweeter drivers I would not use them only
Because they will be very heavy in weight to mount
On the cutter head also too power full

Try light weight speakers/ tweeters

Wow cool photos,Your probably right look like paper dip into lacquer for stiffness.
Those speakers Are tweeters, and the black stuff looks like some sort of glue or silicon

I built a stereo cutter head from second hand car tweeters 4 ohm and it's sounds great also 3D printed
The angle using abs plastic

Give it a go you got nothing to loose

Peace

Small, look like I was wrong, well done great job !

Not bad for someone that's got no lathe experience
Well done Todd.

I know your not stupid but make sure you wear safety
Gloves and eye protection

My cousin has lost half a finger from doing metal work
On a lathe.

I can see this working without any issues, are you using a rubber belt and pulley to drive the lead screw ?
I really like the way you mounted the motor with he rubber feet Looks neat !

Nice work Jesus !
