So my drill press is mostly obsoleted by my cnc machine. I might use it 1 out of every 365 days each year. So I was looking at recycling the parts. I was thinking the motor would make a good lathe motor. Maybe a CNC lathe for the routy? If not then maybe as a high-torque steel cutter spindle for the OX? Here's the specs:
@The Dude I like the idea of a lathe motor for the Routy. I think you could make some really great projects with this set up.
I use my drill-press all the time even though I have a CNC machine. Many times I drill parts that have been cut on the CNC machine but I also drill in parts that never saw the CNC. Use the motor to make a disk sander?
I've found myself wanting for a horizontal drill periodically. Something along the lines of a rifling lathe.
