If you have read \u00a0recent posts I have mentioned I am pursuing carving some small bells from wax for lost wax casting. Here I am re-configuring my original Taig micro mill back into 4 axis operation.<\/p>\n<p>I need the tailpost to be able to slide into any length position I need. The stock Taig slotted table is perfect for that. I don&#8217;t need the multi hole set-up table for 4-axis. I set the rotary table up so I can just slide the tailpost against the back of its slot and it is in perfect Y alignment. The height is taken care of by the shims and the small adjustment in the tailpost itself. \u00a0After this set up it will be a very quick reset for the tailpost.<\/p>\n<p>You can see I have placed a Chuck adapter in the middle of the table. I will use that (with a chuck) to hold the wax cylinder as I mill out the center of the bell.<\/p>\n<p>I have a few seconds of video I made of a dry run of the 4-axis profiling run. It makes some interesting sounds as the X axis is moving very slowly and sometimes &#8220;jiggling&#8221; a bit. Not sure why, but it is playing that CNC music. You will have to imagine all the missing parts. Hey!
