Home built universal grinder

[ozylee]

Hi Albertq,

I have been involved with machine tools in building and repair (mainly CNC) machines for over 45 years and very impressed with your quality machinery and drawing details.
If you could send the .dxf files I would be most appreciated.
I have often thought about building a universal grinder but yours is the next level up.
It would be a project that I would love to attempt.
What I see on your parts photo I may have many of the bearings and linear way in my workshop already that I have collected over the years.
Just waiting for the right project to attempt.

Cheers
Ozylee

Hi Ozylee, I could send you all 160 odd sheet metal .dxf and .pdf bending drawings but that would only be for all the sheet metal bits. The problem would be all the machined parts which I have only in Fusion design and drawing files. If you are running Fusion, I'm happy to give you access to the project then you would have every detail.

Hi Albertq,

When I was serving and repairing CNC machines for my work, I told myself I would buy a machine than build one.
Now that I have retired, I find that going back to my old craft of precision machining for a hobby is more satisfying than purchasing a finished machine.
I do use Fusion software and if you are willing to let me have access to your files it would be most appreciated.
Look forward to hearing back from you.

Cheers
Ozylee.

Hi Ozylee, I'll contact my local fusion office and ask them how I can share this project with you. I'll need your email address.
