I've had no luck with this - running a burr-king model 33 with all kinds of media - seems like if you overload the tumblers, the parts make contact occasionally causing marks... same deal with the...

You wouldn't have the TSC option w/a M88 and a solid toolholder in the spindle?

japco,
as an ex EE who'se focus was on board and fpga design I can tell you about FPGAs - depending upon the age and architecture of the board design, the FPGA in question may be loaded by a small...

The fun part of this project would be the programming of a multidimensional ignition map to function across altitudes, humidity and cycles per minutes (would it idle at 60Hz or would some kind of...

I've been looking at this one for some time... (18+ months or so) which is how I found the links from Livermore, Sandia and Los Alamos national labs... a strange type of fuel injection...

The route the prototype is taking I'm using a 4130 chromoly steel tube with a .125 wall thickness as a sleeve, pressing it and boring to finished diameter - the issue here is with production -...

Hi All,
Does anyone have a referral to an electroplater that can do Nikasil (or one of the other 100 trademarked versions of a Nickel Silicon-Carbide coating) on a cylinder that doesn't cost 300 a...

Hi All,
Being a consummate masochist, I have embarked on a design for a (at the moment) 1-piece cylinder/head assembly for a 65cc chainsaw. I figure I'll learn about 2-stroke dynamics by changing...

Dynosor

The slug in the middle of the rod connecting the two pistons is a magnet and the housing contains a coil of wire - when a magnet passes through the coil a current is induced - this would...

The VF2SS runs DOS v8.2 for an operating system on a 386 processor (remember the 386? 2 revs before the pentium?)... their software fix was likely an OS driver patch. It only took them 13 years to...

This is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation

The title sums it up. USB is such a layered protocol that by the time you're done with a "just the memory stick / mass storage"...

The Haas tech told me that they have a sacrificial $500 board that protects the machine from spikes, etc. I asked about installing it, they were more concerned with just getting me back online and...

I've started a development effort to impliment a generic USB port upgrade for these machines. This is not as simple as it sounds; USB is an extremely software -centric interface due to the wide array...

Hi Ajax,
Can you quote me on a full retrofit kit for a tree journeyman 425? I'd need the x,y,z motors, amp and full control (ie everything but the spindle motor). Also I'd like the abillity to...

Hi All,
I'm looking at a 425 retrofit myself - Michael thanks for the input on the Centroid controller; I'd also like to leave my options open for an 8K/10K spindle migration path in the future (may...

Having been laid off from my latest EE contract job, I suddenly have time to play with my VF2SS... Over the past summer, a lightning strike fried the controller and in the several weeks of dicking...

Is there a way to change resolutions on your screen? You might try a few different settings - crappy software engineers sometimes do not think things through all the way when they impliment their...

I have a job where I need to produce several thousand externally threaded 304SS expansion rods RH thread on one end, LH on the other. I'm wondering how to go about this properly. I have a great...

Ok - I have the need to make 10,000+ pieces of stainless steel expanding rods annually. M6 Left hand thread on one side, right hand on the other. Presently own a mid-size grizzly lathe wondering if I...

Does anyone have a source for an aftermarket ATC? I'm weighing my options with a Tree master journeyman with a crapped out control system. If I can find the right parts, I'm lookng at a retrofit. A 5...

What you are seeing is a windows error message. A main in C or C++ (or most "new languages" is the main branch of code that executes - it looks like mastercam was trying to execute an OS routine (or...

Hi All,
I've got an '04 VF2SS VMC with low hours that is acting weird - I have a 1.5" parlec facing insert endmill in T10 marked heavy. When this tool is in the spindle, I get the through spindle...

I've had a similar issue with my '04 vf2ss - was machining an outside radius curve say r=1" with a .375 endmill, the coolant shut off, the alarm light came on and the feed kept moving right along. I...

Do any of you guys run an air dryer on your air lines? I'm thinking that maoisure could be the cause of this - I have noticed it on my vf2ss been told it was a non-issue... it's out of warranty in a...
