This video shows how I increased the working capacity of my Sainsmart 4th axis Rotary. Its pretty limited in its working capacity as standard but with some 3d printed parts it has been increased.

Hi Tony, I’ve not the fourth axis yet but would love to have access to the STL files for increasing the diameter of turnings. Your idea of separating the headstock and tail stock on the Y axis is a great idea too and I’d like to print out the mounts you made ready for when I take the plunge. Looking forward to further ideas from you.

Hi thanks for your comment I have uploaded all the stl files for the appropriate riser blocks. Just remember to check all clearances before moving the machine. I have uploaded them on makerworld search for Sainsmart 4040 pro 4th Axis Riser blocks

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop Many thanks. Your helpful upgrade tips are very much appreciated as are the STL files you freely share. They save a lot of time and thinking that would be necessary to design and produce them myself. I’ll download the files later tonight. 😀😀

Hi Tony, Like what you do. Any chance that you are selling these 3d printed add-ons? If so, I'm first in line to buy! Cheers Lance

Thank you for your informative videos. I have a 4040-pro max arriving any day now. I was considering the 4th axis but didn't pull the trigger on that yet. I was wondering if it would be possible to turn the whole thing 90 degrees so it runs parallel with the Y axis instead. That would allow mounting the headstock out of harms way in the back of the machine and also allow to work on longer pieces. Is there any support for that in the setup? I also wonder what software is required to get full functionality for the 4th axis - Fusion seems to require a paid upgrade. Is there any free - or cheap - software around that would work?

@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop День назад

Hi thanks for your comment and question, you can turn the 4th axis 90deg so in the cad software you would change the way you rap the x or y axis when designing your work. I use Vectrics aspire but its expensive, you should be able to do the same in other free cad software programs. The 4th axis is a little limited in the size of project you can secure in its chuck and between the tailstock. One of the reasons why I have shown in my video about increasing the size you can work with on the 4th axis.

Hi Tony, Nice idea and a great video. I just installed the new ZX axis for the 4040pro and it is a major improvement. The new piece is very ridged a very useful upgrade.

@@jimbembinster hi Jim nice to here from you again hope you like your upgrade was it expensive

@jimbembinster 18 дней назад

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop I paid $279.00 free shipping. The Z axis has linear guides and bearings and the X is super beefed up. It's amazing how stiff the machine is with the upgraded ZX axis. You'll want this for your 4040.
