Today we’re starting on a spindle lock for the G0704 mill. I’d like to eventually do some vertical broaching in the mill, but the Grizzly G0704 has no provision for locking the spindle, so there’s no way to keep the broach from turning.
We’ll look at the design for a two-clamp spindle lock, and then CNC mill the clamps out of blocks of aluminum.
