Recently I bought from a member (Matthemuppet2), a intermediate shaft pulley assembly off either a mill/drill or a drill press. On the long drive home from Hutchinson, KS, I started to wonder what to use it for, so I decided to add another set of steps in the drive assembly system of the Rockwell milling machine, that I posted a “transmission build” on a while back.
This is a bolt on addition and nothing on the mill was permanently alter, I can go back to the original configuration in about 20 minutes. I‘m really interested to see what spindle speeds are achievable with this set up, current before the mod, the Rockwell mill had 24 speeds, between roughly 125 rpms to 6650 rpms, we shall see what speeds are achievable now.
