More progress this time on the motor mounting. Because the head mounting block sits where the horizontal motor would be I have had to make a new mount to lift it up out of the way. Plus it need to have a way of tensioning the drive belt.
Trial fit of all the major parts. This machine now has a massive 17 capacity from the table to the quill, a lot more than a Tom senior with a knuckle head for vertical milling.
Well, not quite finished this bit yet. Like many aspects of this project I tend to have a think afterwards and on this I decided the inverter could do with some extra airflow as I am unable to follow the guidelines for air gaps due to space restrictions. For now the control box is on the back burner until the cooling fan arrives.
So I have moved on to the rear belt guard. It's now too short due to the main motor being repositioned.
