I'd love one, you could use one of those little drill mill machines and marry up some stepper motors and controllers for all 3 axis yeah ?Originally Posted by bogan
AS for out mill, it's usually run at about 560 or 710 rpm, but we use BIG cutters. Up to 250mm wide and maybe 8mm cuts in mild steel. Maybe 200-300mm/min feed. We are nowhere near the optimum, but we have no choice. There is so much backlash on the bed, if you push too hard it just bounces about and wrecks your tips, or the job..

Do you know what sort of control system he used for that?yeh depends on the work you guys do I suppose, but that is fucking slow for carbides, our CNC is slow and that still runs at 8000, bed speed maxes out at 2.5m/min, which is just enough
Got a mate who built a little CNC mill for his final year project, not really much to them tbh.

not exactly but can find out, I think it was a microcontroller based system running freely available firmware/software.

Here's a few pics, of the bits and bobs I've started on.. Tube subframe (with dodgy tig welding), tacho, ground front disc with new axle for crash bungs, swingarm crash bungs with ally lugs for paddock stand, prototyp of rearset foot pegs.
Also featured is some grime, aerosol spray paint and a seat that isn't held down in any way.
I looked at the wheels on the spada and found the front is 2.5in wide, while the rear is 4in wide, so I guess I won't be running slick on these rims..

thats starting to look good
what engine are you going to put in it ??

Will use a loncin I think.
After mucking about for AGES machining up bits and pieces, I want a motor that will (hopefully) start and run without any need for pulling it apart first.. Maybe at a later stage I could look at giving it some extra ponies, or start dabbling in the black magic voodoo that is 2 stroke tuning..

Rear might be a bit wide but the ront should be fine. Majority of FXRs up here are running a 2.5 front and 3.5 rear. There are a few with a 3.75 rear which is better for the rear so you might even be ok with the rear if you fit a 120 instead of a 115

GSXR rims are 2.5x17 and 3.0x17 arnt they
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

Quick trip to the garage confirms that I lied. 3 it is so 4 will be well wide.

I thought that was the case.. So I'm limited to road rubber on the rear at least..
Might have to track down some 17 inch wire rims..

I've added some more photos of the frame and motor installation. Also the front rim is a 3' Marchenisi and the rear is a 4' HRC wheel that came with the 94 RS125, both have Bridgstone slicks on which have done a track day and a test day.

3" is what the older RS used to use. It was meant for 105 rears. But you can get away with a 115, like you (I) do. 3.5" is perfect for 115. 4" with a 120. hmm, you know it might be worth mounting a front 120 & seeing how it goes. I don't think it would depressurise being only 1/2" oversize rim.
But I wouldn't swear on it. The profile will likely be too flat for mega lean angles, but you don't know until you try & that might not be your riding style. Find a 3.5 if it doesn't work out. You will struggle to find spoked rims wide enough & cheap.
Don't you look at my accountant.

3.5" rear rim with the front slick off a 600. Works for me and I got the tyre out of the bin at the shop
Forum whore
can you use the frount 120 in a 4" rear rim ???
that is the question
or where can you get a slick to fit a 4"rim (same as modern rs125's ???)
Karl M has plenty of frount tires
