Time to get this thread going again. Decided to go ahead with this before the wood processor. Will be nice to have this to cut parts.
I ran across some cheap XL timing belts at a surplus store in Toronto. Now I need pulleys. These will be a 3-1 reduction from the steppers to the pinion on the rack.
Made the arbour to hold them on the indexing head, then the tool holder for the mill, the 50 degree cutter was ground on the tool grinder.
The small pinion 12 tooth.

The 36 tooth driven gear.

And 4 sets. The ADD was acting up by the end.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
