That is really cool! I am becoming a big fan of stepper motors after building a lathe.
The world of glassworking tools is a world of extremes
There are hand tools and full size glass lathes
This project is an attempt to create a tool in the middle
It's a single-sided tube/rod spinning machine. All axes can be locked in place by electromagnets, or released by squeezing a lever on the hand control. When released, the head is spring-balanced, and can be oriented in almost any position
The hand controller provides speed control using a thumbwheel. Forward, reverse, pause and step modes are supported

Whoa!
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around, and desert you.
Any idea what kind of weight it will hold?
Weight, but still enough handle tube to not melt the hardware?

Bad ass man, I need one of these
I've worked on the one at marcel's and it is amazing. Really opens up so many possibilities, especially for people with physical limitations. I can't wait to use one again!

Just curious but how exactly is that useful for milli? Also, 5lbs is pretty arbitrary. I and many others can easily pass 5lbs with the build, moil and handle...and that doesn't cou't the other handle and moil.

Q: Prove God doesn't exist.
A: That's a tough one. Show me how it's done by proving Zeus and Apollo don't exist, and I'll use your method. ~unknown
Love it
http://nqalha.com/Proto11.htm These prototype 11 pic look so good. The overall aesthetic, the handle, even the motors look awesome and clean. The precision milled parts... Even the PCB looks sexy. I am falling in love with this project. I cant wait to find out what kinda price point this thing is going to end up at. Keep it up Mike!
