Subject: Re: Want to attach motor to 1/8" COLLET

Hi psykhon,
I think this might help you...

Do a search for Collet Chuck on Ebay... you get like 919 results....

I found a couple that I might look at further because I have been thinking about using a series of brushless motors that belt drive the collet chucks, each having a specific mill or drill in it, mounted  on a turntable that mounts into the Z stage of my mill or maybe make a mill specifically for PCB milling only.

I have figured 10 different mill/drill types and have found a workhorse of a motor called the donkey at HobbyKing for a great price. I'm not sure if I'll do separate controllers for each motor or one controller switched between multiple motors?

If you have questions post them or email me off list...

Best Regards,

Kevin I.
