Hey Rocket your timing is perfect mate :-)

Got an email notification of a PM from Cabnet so thought I'd point my browser at this thread while I was here....

First post I see is yours (as the...

Hi Kent,

I followed your posted link and it says, for uses 'Use where loads, temperature and water contamination are severe. Use for wheel bearings, rolling contact bearings, ball joints,...

Kent,

1. & 2. Paint thinner will likely cause issues with painted surfaces, use degreaser, kero, prepsol or some other less agressive solvent. Lube doesn't have to PTFE formulation- you are...

Rust on linear rails?

I assumed they were stainless steel- mine certainly havent rusted and my workshop is very close to the ocean, anything that can rust usually does at a VERY rapid rate.........

Rocket- almost 100% you have the same problem as I did- dust particles doing warp nine up collection tube often generate massive amounts of potential for discharge on my machine.

You can help me here Shannon- I haven't pulled the head off yet but intend to when I get some down time...

I noticed the issue when dressing the spoilboard with a 3" cutter, the pattern left later...

Exitech may have changed the grease they are using but the stuff on my screws and gears when delivered was nasty looking gunk, almost like tallow or some low grade soap product.

Given several of...

Pictures will be a great help.

G'day Spencer,

Nothing serious in the 'novel' comment mate- was just taking the piss.

I enjoyed the read.

Do you have any doco on the syntec system? I would certainly be interested in having...

You mentioned somewhere around chapter 9 in your novel that the DSP may be a concern to get on top of- have no fear, plenty of us here will help you out. A little quirky at first but rock solid...

Reckon I'll be there if I can work it in- sounds great.

Up to him what he charges- he may be polishing his rocket though. Anyone with an unrealistic markup and no machine in stock (or parts to...

The chinese machines have come a long way in a short time- they weren't quite crippled by cheap plastic gears and other issues to the extend suggested earlier in the thread (won't relive the carvin...

Can you post the CE certificate?

Last time I enquired I was told that the mchines hadn't been certified.

The stepper drives are 110v 1phase (220V machines have stepdown transformers installed). DSP supply transformer has multi tapped primary with a 110V config option. From memory the 1 phase spindle...

Might be that the factory new people are suggesting to their freinds in china that the agent rights aren't worth much if the manufacturer chooses to deal directly in their patch..... Knowing the...

Mach is an option but not standard offering.

Brushes are extra good- haven't modified my shoe to get them on yet but seen them running on other machines.

I'm looking at June for an ATC machine...

get Ramo to try where you would like the profile to run in any CAD package he likes that can export a DXF file. To the extent that they are offset then he will just draw as many paths as needed with...

The control cabinet is huge....

Is that a servo machine?

The margins may be fine.....

Thing is we don't know what is offered by way of value.

If SyS-e comes to you for his 40% on cost and gets you up and running it may be money well spent, $5k for a...

No progress there yet Jim but will get to it- jobs are comming in thjisck and fast at the moment.

Despite earlier comments concerning expected limitations in the supplied DSP controller I have to...

Yep, great idea (NOT)- pay a lazy 25% for a no added value drop ship.

To date all appear to have had a happy ending in direct deals with the factory and our friends in the EAST will always deal...

A couple of suggestions...

1) Read the forum rules. I am sure the CNCZone site owner would require that you seek his permissoin prior to seeking to solicit business leads here.

2) Learn how to...

Been busier than a one eyed cat watchin two mouse holes!

I'm running a 4kw becker constant displacement pump and would really enjoy the luxury of more VAC. I am getting away with it but often have...

Tick = 'not long'

Huff = Frustrated and annoyed to the point that couldn't be bothered thinking about it. (pretty sure noy AUS term).

Last lot of bits cost me quarantine inspection fees, chinese wrote 'wood bit's' on declaration so it was assumed there may be timber products inside- $70 per xray before they will release for...

What????

Did you order the router bits with Kryptonite shanks and unobtanium inserts?

We know the reason for the price differential- much higher sales volume and market competition provides for...

I'm looking for your first two given that one was a ripper....

Ran jobs today that required four tools and resetting the Z is a bit of a pain- was thinking there must be a better way!

I run an...

I've had that problem since christmas Rod- suppliers that just don't seem to want business...

My excitech table was that close to level that flycutting the spoilboard is working great- you can...

Thanks Gerry,

I have an 8hp HSD so I'll really lean on the spanners in future.

I have taken your comments re posting on board, will start to move out to other threads now that my principal...
