Hi all. I need to make a z axis power feed for my g0704 mill. It’s very hard for me to raise and lower the head. I’m planning on a sprocket and chain to raise/lower the head. I’m not sure what sprocket ratios I need to use, I was thinking of a 4 to 1 ratio but I just pulled that out of the air. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I’m using a wiper motor from a 2016 Buick La Crosse, about 55 rpm. 6 turns of the Z axis wheel moves the head about 1”.
Thanks!
