Re: 15T CIM Shaft Pinion Gear (DeWalt project)

Quote:
How would one go about turning down the CIM output shaft? Can that be done reliably without damaging the motor?
IDK - I'd hate to give bad advice, not having done it and knowing I'd probablly lose a CIM or two in the learning process.

FYI - We got about 8 fps with the 4" wheels locked in low gear. We attempted shifting in '06, but it was too unreliable and wasn't worth the hassle.

Attached are the DXF files for the adaptors we use. They are ready for watercutting - on an Omax, and maybe a Flow (since they're now the same company). The meaning of the layers (colors) are as follows:
0: Traverse
3: Cut w/ quality = 3 (normal)
5: Cut w/ quality = 5 (slow precise cut)
9: Lead In/Out

Good luck...

EDIT: use 0.25 - 0.27" stainless or TI for the adaptors
