Re: Custom Gearbox Without Automated Machining?

All of the gearboxes used on 716's robots are made on a manual Bridgeport. I am still making them as, at least for us, it is lower cost than buying. I have upgraded to a DRO to make it easier (Shooting Star BT-2, excellent quality, easy to install). I recommend a boring head for the bearing holes.

Check out my gearboxes in the white papers. All have been made on manual machines.
