CNC camshaft grinder DIY project

Hi all, 

I am Juxus from Germany and building my first LinuxCNC project: a camshaft grinder. The mechanics are almost done - now it is time to setup the Mesa 7i96s and LinuxCNC. Laptop (Lenovo T450s) is setup and exclusively for operating the machine. 



The idea is to run the A axis with an encoder for turning the camshaft and Y axis for positioning the cam against the grinding wheel. X Axis is to positioning the second cam after the first one is done. 

I am a total beginner with LinuxCNC and I am thankful for all hints! 

Thanks!
Juxus

Change the couplers between the lead screw and stepper motor. They can wind under load and tear themselves apart.

Looks good so far.
