Oops, did I mean the spindle nose diameter or the quill diameter?

Re the Tormach Speeder thing:
I think the Tormach and Bridgeport have a spindle nose at 3-3/8" diameter, while the IH is 3". I think.
Maybe a ring-shaped collar adopter (with 3/16" thick wall...
banctecbobn,
I've figured that one of IH's reasons for not selling cnc kits alone may be that there are some components that require fitting to a particular machine. And they must try to protect...
RP Designs, goooood question on the availability of a CNC Kit from IH.
Message on the IH site "...Can Only be Purchased with..." Oh well and dang none the less.
Picking up a manual 12Z would...
Smithy & Novakon
I notice that the image for the Novakon 135 and the pic for the Smithy 622 are the same (except for the Smithy logo and other very minor details.) It is the same picture.
Are...
Hi Vikash
Regarding MDF, it is like a sponge, hygroscopic-like even. Once moisture eventually finds its way to to it, the MDF will, as said, weaken, and swell.
Minimally, you might make a...
My last post in this thread referrenced my finally putting before Harlow a firm date: "base or refund by May08", to which DeWayne said "Thanks for giving me 6 weeks...no problem". Naturally, after a...
I think Stepper Monkey summed it up well. It would not surprise me to learn that others are in the final phases of developement of a similar product.
Sorcheror, looking forward to you pics.
I...
fizzissit, boy, I wish Sen. McCain would read this thread and give you a call. He seems to have allowed himself to be swayed by the 'consensus'. He has recently mentioned being interested in...
Sorcheror,
Yes, an improved X2 base would absolutely be popular. I don't know what else explains the tremendous attention given to the original CNCBridges announcement thread. All the initial...
Jim Stoll, guys,
Is it not the case that Home Depot and such may supply hot rolled as well as cold rolled steel? If that is so, keep in mind that hot rolled usually has a very hard scale on it,...
Somewhat related to your sound attenuation challenge.
I've build a couple of bullet traps for test firing pistols. While both included the necessary snail-style decelerator at their core, the...
Barry, look'n good! That mill is pretty nifty too!
I'm curious about how you best achieved parallelism of a given rail set, and the flatness of the geometric plane that set defines, not to forget...
Practicalcnc, December 12th of 06! Holy cow. Why are you pulling the plug so soon?
If I recall, it was around 15oct06 that I ordered, and I'm still waiting. Can't eat, can't sleep, all projects...
Walter (et al),
Your tenacity inspires me. Please do not stop.
An X2 base product is certainly an appropriate target for your technology; the genesis if this thread begins with your...
Hoss2006,
Yep. Restraining the drawbar from rotating should not be necessary. Even if it does rotate over time somehow contributing to Z drift, occasional Z rezeroing will make it moot. As long...
Hoss2006,
You are an inovative machinist to be sure!
Having just read this thread I do not recall seeing Z repeatability specifically addressed. If I'm picturing this right, an upward-biased...

I notice on CNCBridges.com the following:
"Available:
September - 2
October - 4
November - 4
December - 4"
As of a day or two ago the number of available units for September was 3. Hmmm.
jrmjimmills, thank you for posting notice of your purchase.
I second DonFrambach; I believe there are many here who are wondering at the quality and performance of the Smithy cnc products. I am...
Have not received my base yet. "Waiting" may connote anticipation and anxiousness. I have not harbored too much of either feeling for some time.
Who knows, maybe I'll soon be first to post...
A shout from the gallery: "You guys are awesome!"
I've read but snippets of this thread since its inception last January, and this project you folks have undertaken, and the progress you've made,...
Sorry ataxy, I'll have to hand off that baton. I'm sure I'm already over my head.
ataxy,
While I look forward to the accurate and comprehensive answers that will come from the many knowledgable members of this forum, I think the numbers suggest that this switch will handle up...
I have to admit, my question asking Quantilas for clarification was pretty darn inane itself; I can see him, or anyone, becoming a bit annoyed by it. I too appreciate seeing useful information when...
Quantilas, can you elaborate?
Considering the recent Live Earth concert, it occurs to me that any of the speakers might have said:
"My friends, I know the earth-saving lifestyle we ask of you may cause some hardship; no great...
Moog B-22,
Can you put some ducted fans or turbines in that thing?
Looks like you're not hurting for the talent to do so.
Although it would be a shame to scratch it.
stebanski,
I just received the Mitee Bite catalog today, and they sure like they may have a solution for you. Check 'em out.
Later
Mike, what is that curious telescoping device? Could that be the manual ruled slide calculator that my granddad told me about?
