G0704 Mill 80mm spindle mount

thingiverse

This mount clamps onto the G0704's existing spindle, allowing an 80mm 1.5kw water cooled spindle to be securely fastened to the head. I utilize it to carve machineable wax for silicone molds. The mount is remarkably rigid, but I'm uncertain if it's sufficiently robust for aluminum. Perhaps one day I'll create a revised version out of aluminum, but for less than $10 worth of plastic it serves its purpose admirably in cutting wax. It was designed using Fusion 360. Note: I ended up removing the central bolt from the uploaded file to prevent any potential confusion; if you notice a third bolt in the picture, that's why. Removing the center nut proved too challenging with a wrench, so I opted to remove it instead.
