This CNC is able to work with a 1/4 endmill?
1432615
The spindle we provide uses a 3-jaw chuck rated for up to 1/8" shank end mills. It in fact opens slightly larger. To use a 1/4" end mill on our system you would either use a 1/4" end mill that has a 1/8" shank (you can get large end mills with small shanks, not sure of available dimensions or ratings) or use a different spindle that can accommodate a larger diameter bit. You can always generate the required tool path with a 1/8" end mill specified and have the 1/8" end mill do the work the 1/4" dia unit would have done and export that GCode for use on our standard system. Hope this helps.

It is neither 1/4 nor 3/8, it has a standard hex collet sized to fit the usual interchangeable screwdriver bits. You can get a chuck that has a hex shank or drill bits with hex shanks, your choice, but there is neither chuck nor bits included with this tool. There are two batteries and a charger included, though.

I understand that there is a way to "mill" or mill by sanding. I have not tried it but I believe it will work. You would actually be sanding rather than milling. Julio

I would not try thicker than 1/4 inch. Thicker? ...Make more passes, slower cut. This is not a router. I use it for an engraving machine with a v bit and it works great for the price.

Standard size 1/4 inch bits will not fit but you can purchase assortments of 1/8 inch "precision" bits that have hex heads and other assortments that may be suitable for your needs. search for "precision bits."

this tool was designed to be used with a dremel. if your dremel can hold a 1/4" drill bit, then yes

"Does this item allow me to use 1/4" bits?"No.You need to buy a 1/4" Porter-Cable collet to use bits with a 1/4" shaft. 1/2" collet is for "pro grade" bits with a 1/2" shaft. 1/4" collet is for use with bit using 1/4" shaft.

It comes with a 1/4" shank bit, I am not sure if it accepts 1/2" shank bits, but I believe it is set up for the included 1/4" bit

No. only accepts 1/4" hex shaft bits...I use it with a set of cheap adapters also from amazon which allow me to use all of my smaller 1/4" and 3/8" drive sockets with it.

Yes. When the 4 inch was too small for my project I purchased a 7 inch grinder, grinding wheel, and shroud through amazon. The 7 equipment is a significantly larger investment than the 4 1/2. 7 inch equipment: Grinder - DWE4557, floor grinding wheel - DW4775, and shroud DWE46170.

No a Dremel will only accept 1/8 dia. shanks I just checked my Dremel. You may be able to make a split collar to tighten up the shank.

No, I really do not know of any 4-1/2 that is. I assume you want to use it for buffing. If so you are stuck with a plug in 7-1/2.

The parts that are "not included", are going to be based on the software that you want to use and the type of work that you want the CNC to perform.That would be the electronics and the cutting mechanism.I have tried both RAMPS and an Arduino Mega based on RepRap ABS printer. As for the spindle, I have tried a Dremel, a Dremel look-a-like, and for fun - a laser diode. You will need to decide if that is too light for your projects. You will need to match a power supply for the needs of those items. I used PC power supply from 15 year old low power PC that was less than 100W.Reading up on home built printers on sites like the reprap dot org site should give you a lot of information to digest.

No. It is for a 1/4 inch quick connect hexagonal shaft bit. Excellent for light work on bikes motorcycles household and light automotive trim work. I use a 3/8 square drive dewalt impact for heavier stuff.

Yes, it will drive all the 1/4 inch hex shank stuff. This is my favorite "driver tool". I highly recommend it.

1/4" hex will work with any 1/4" impact driver... and will work with any drill drivers. Most drill drivers will accept at least 3/8", however many heavy duty drills are 1/2".

no, only one quarter, maybe you can get some Adaptor 1/4 to 1/2 but I do not recommend it for security reasons, the shaft rotates very fast for an adapter.
