Tomahawk CNC – Belt-Drive Conversion Kit
For MH28V, DM45, HM46–HM48 Mills — Optional Servo Spindle Upgrade Available
Replace the weak factory plastic gear system and unlock smoother, quieter, higher-performance spindle operation with the Tomahawk CNC Belt-Drive Conversion Kit. Designed specifically for the MH28V, DM45, and HM46–HM48 mills, this upgrade removes the noisy gear-driven spindle transmission and replaces it with a precision belt-drive assembly for improved reliability and machining performance.
Whether running manually or as part of a full CNC conversion, the belt-drive system dramatically reduces vibration and noise, improves surface finish, and protects your spindle from gear failures under heavy load.
For advanced users, an optional servo spindle upgrade is available, enabling rigid tapping, constant surface speed control, and encoder-based threading when paired with UCCNC or a compatible CNC control system.
✅ Key Benefits
Eliminates factory plastic gearsNo more stripped or shattered gears during heavy cuts.
Smoother and quieter spindle operationReduced vibration = better surface finish + extended tool life.
Higher spindle RPM capabilityPerfect for aluminium, plastics, engraving, and small tooling.
Improved torque transferNo gear chatter, no backlash inside the head.
Supports future CNC automation upgradesRequired for use with the Tomahawk Pneumatic TTS Tool-Change System.
