Hi, I run both a 3+1 axis 5400 and a 5300mk 3axis mill. programmed using surf cam.

I am tryin6 to mi6rate from a year 2000 hard drive to new hard drive. I used a hd clonin6 tool, it worked. Kinda,...

assumin6 you have a setup tool library. the surface tolerance is set within each tool. yes it defaults out to 0.001 but if you 6o in and set your ballnose it will no lon6er default out to 0.001.

that m code is not available on that machine. Like if u feed it a m6 to toolchan6e and there is no tool chan6er. you will most likely error out.
which m code are you usin6

lol sheryl.
your ideas for aluminum motorcycle parts is cool. But as you learn you will figure out that some things need to be steel for str vs size. So consider something able to cut steel as well....

dude, one runon sentence will not get you a job over 5000 miles away. i would try a cover letter and resume combo breaker.

Ummm math, so much math. Programming turns into alot of math. I hope you like it. I personally like the machinaries handbook. it feels like the bible, You just flip it open and start reading.

Most hardened shafting is only surface hardened to about .01 to .025 thou. If u can use an endmill to open up a pocket larger then the major diameter of the thread. then you can just use a regular...

if the chinese guy named bella offering you products. i would decline, he says he has special deals but really it will just make you cry inside after the fact. your looking to do stainless. you need...

you did not describe your overall stock or position of boss in relation to your x and y origin. so i assumed the bosses x y zeros were at the upper left most of the part. i also programmed it using...

or to be.
You could have someone climb inside the machine then close the door. Turn spindle on. Polish. Just don't turn on the coolant they may drown.

Hi, no one really said much when you asked for a text. When I began college, I walked in not knowing anything about milling or lathes. The text that we used was Technology Of Machine Tools:...

only do this if you have access to a good comparsion tool. what i did was bought my mitutoyo indicators on ebay. then compared them against the dro on the jig borer which is good to teeths.

oh I thought the machining center flung out of the sky and landed and was powered by gnomish magic. Blood of the orcs as lubericant. eld in place by tears of poor third world childern working in the...

The price my shop pays for alum is 70cents a cubic inch for 6061 bar stock. Lets do the math on price on alum per part based just finished part size.
First part is 2 by 2 by half which is 1.40 per...

I'm doing engraving at depth of about between 0.005 and 0.0025inch deep with a tool called a uniflute. Solid Carbide made by Seco
I'm spinning it at 9000 rpm and the feed rate at a chippertooth of...

From what I have learned in school and thoery class about heat treating steel. If you properly heat treat a part, you can do the following things.
A> Stress relief surfaces stresses you could create...

I have a servo drive made by Parker it takes a RS232 input for programming....
I am now kicking myself for years ago not learning linux properly, I was wondering if anyone is pushing a RS232 single...

I would vote it could be done. I believe you would have to heat treat and then grind the rotors. If not it would turn in to scrap thinking about the physics. Older auto shops use to grind brake...

So I am in the middle of a move to another city for school. I want to work on the machine pretty bad but its in 4 boxs and a skeleton in the garage. So instead, I have been trying to research an easy...

I didn't relize you needed a man with a white hardhat and clipboard as a requirement for the gcode to run. Is that the socket on the side marked Retard where you plug it in. I thought that had...

Use a linear rail system attached to the square tubing and that will be square.

Yes, Bruce and Eddie were there.

I'm envious of those sawmill carriage wheels, Whats the diameter of them? The look tough as rocks. The thing with using a chain drive like your purposing is that u could in theory get 2 different...

dremel trio. I think is a no...... I seen one guy with a dewalt diegrinder.... If it take the force of someone beating a deburr into some rusty steel. Gentle cnc programming shouldn't phase it.....

Well I have raised off the ground. The top steel rail compared to the table area seems to be very similar level wise. Main goal was to get it off the ground before going to see Iron Maiden in Ottawa...

I got my gecko drives from him when the 201x first came out, He had a little bit of a slow response. He then explained that he was waiting for them ship to him. Bam one week later I had them. If hes...

So I have completed the major construction on my zaxis slide. All that remains is to attach the ballnut. Which hopefully is a simple task.

Holesaws are messy business LOL. I feel good with my...

Electric motors are not like gas engines

Very nice build, looks very well put together. Those are going to be your favourite holes you will drill with it. NICE

Well over last few days this is what I have done. That with working on how to use my cam software. This is the start of my z axis. I am happy the rigidity I was able to obtain so far with out...
