Looks like total train wreck but it's a 4th axis indexer for a VMC mill. Belt gave up. Finally found a replacement. Discontinued indexer model. It's torn down to get to the belt, new one (gray) laying in pic. HD, no stretch, coolant proof. Technology has come a long way. It'll outlast the rest of this 20 year old thing
The belt goes in from the bottom of the unit. Side taken apart, control cables laid over. I'll get it back working. Looks like a hot mess rn

The old thing has been rebuilt 3 times, new bearings & worms, brake, 2 belts, many bits & pieces, new cables, 2x. It does have a Fanuc motor. Still holds 0.002" runout.

Are those the original tires? They're hobby shop has one for like $359 pretty tempting. Can you just put bigger 3.8 tires on that bad boy? It's either an Asuga, or an M2C chassis for my K6S XLGetting the Asuga ready for action. Kinda proud of the antenna tube solution.

Just in case if it ever flips and eats concrete/dirt...
so to give it some re-enforcement to preventing the antenna(S) from getting ripped out/off at the root
right at the base of your metal mount.
Just a thought..

Yep, it's stock, right down to the tires. And I have seen pics and vids of these running with 3.8s, I'd imagine all you'd need to do is run lower gearing. It's a really solid rig.Are those the original tires? They're hobby shop has one for like $359 pretty tempting. Can you just put bigger 3.8 tires on that bad boy?

..... My gf is a hot mess rn but looks nothing like that.
Aqua therapy today. Went boating south on the St. Johns River. It's alligator mating season now and I swear we seen at least 75 gators on the river. Males are scouting out females and are very aggressive. Most did not even flinch as the boat went buy. A select few jumped right out of the water near the boat scaring the hell out of us. Been running this river for 9 years and never seen anything like it!!

Do ya bring a big stick, an oar, or something to wack em on the head if they try and board the vessel.
Maybe you need a train horn..?
I do need your train horn! Lol. I could blast them into the Atlantic. I need to carry an oar or something yes, cuz boat literally sits right on the water. You can easily just stick your arm in the water while in your seat. Good thing is the outboard tends to scare them but today they were exceptionally bold.Do ya bring a big stick, an oar, or something to wack em on the head if they try and board the vessel.

I got the 4th axis back together. Oldie but a goodie. This old VMC is ready for some more. Did some test cuts, 90° intervals, perfect.
