I sent you a couple of private messages but haven't heard back from you. Did you get them & are you still interested. I've got pictures to send.

I have a table from a Hermle universal milling machine. It is basically an angle plate 31-1/2"X15-1/4"X(10" on the adjoining leg) Bear-in-mind the T-slots & spacings are to metric dimensions. I'm...

If you wanted to actually measure clamping force you could do it with a spring or a hydraulic cylinder and pressure gage to give you numbers you could calculate pressure with. But this isn't what...

My research a few months ago turned up the same as yours. Apparently they are custom items. You design it & get a tool & cutter guy to make it up for you. I have been looking in to engine porting;...

I visited Torchmate Sept. '08. I never bought a machine. They seemed like a real nice bunch of folks; it seemed like a very professional organization as well. I believe the iron is from Taiwan and...

Goef-Please note I used the word "like" a bracelet; I never said it was to be worn or even frequently touched. Thank you for your input-I don't think you're liable for advice posted on a forum. I...

Thank you for the responses. I thought the beryllium would be such a small component that it wouldn't be a hazard. CA110 copper is tough, the beryllium alloy sounds much worse. I don't think I'm @...

First time starting a thread-bear w/ me. I have some experience w/ free machining brass, aluminum bronze, cast bearing bronze, & pure copper. Looking for input from someone w/ even broader...

If heat is the problem you say I don't think a radiator is going to work. You need to add some refrigeration. A radiator is never going to get the coolant back to room temperature unless the...

How big are your parts? I've been successful doing this by sandwiching the stainless between thick steel plates, maybe a 1/4" thick. Since the parts I was making had holes in them I pre-drilled the...

Seven thousand series alloys are generally considered unweldable except w/ some extremely sophisticated techniques such as electron beam or Friction Stir Welding. I haven't any documentation handy...

I stand by what I said. It's not that difficult. Looking for a used pressure vessel to do the job is still a great idea. If liability is a concern, then yes, you need to go to a fab. shop w/ all...

Look, this is very do-able. Just use some basic engineering formulas & some common sense. I probably would not weld on the edges & in the corners where possible. If I were making a weldment I...

You may want to check out Lenzkes. They sell some high quality, similar items, they sell direct & they're pretty generous about sample evaluation pieces presumming you're a real business. I like...

It's pneumatically operated. I think even the rotation of the carrosel is done with air. It's not very fast at tool changes but the fast rapids pretty well make up for this. the whole tool changer...

I owned one of these. Bought new in '92 & sold in '94 (couldn't keep up payments). Note that it doesn't have a lot of torque. I was able to drill a 1-7/16 hole in steel but I had to use an...

There's about a million & one uses for a vacuum pump and thousands of types, models, and manufacturers. Is this for a vacuum chuck? What's the chuck made of? What is the workpiece? How big are...

I have been taught that you never put a mill in a drill chuck

I didn't think you where supposed to put an electric drill on a router either. I think a milling cutter in a drill chuck is going to...

Maybe it has something to do with thrust forces. That high helix is trying to suck the spindle out of the head-there's no upward thrust on the spindle bearings (preload lost?). I think you'll have...

Scribe 2 circles, one about .100" under on radius, second the finished hole size. Use a 1/2" diameter center cutting 3flute aluminum roughing end mill. Plunge completely through (need parallels or...

Ya want to do it right you have to find a comparator, determine the theoretical point and trig it from there. ( I always use my CAD so I don't have to remember trig.) Trial cuts work but every time...

If you want to get the job done and are not concerned about high production I'd run a 2 flute extended reach HSS end mill @ 6000 rpm, a .025" depth of cut and feed about 10 ipm. Make absolutely sure...

Kenny-
Since you're so gung-ho on 5-axis I'll let you know there are ways to mill small internal features such as splines in a workpiece with the proper cutter and a 5-axis machine. You can't go...

My guy check a day or so ago and still no update avaliable for us to print w/ V19

I only have limited experience with corner rounding end mills but generally I don't seem to be able to run them too fast. I suspect you're not feeding fast enough or there is something wrong with...

Dan-
I've got a Deckel like in the picture above. Bought it used from DMG, Chicago and got it for a great price. Still learning how to use it after a year in my shop. It's a race car, a bit...

I'm pretty sure 1-1/2" is the is the biggest face mill arbor you can find for an R8. If you want to keep it, I think you're going to have to bush it yourself. I'd only use 2 inserts in a cutter...

Here's another link for engraving tools. You might also try a local tool & cutter grinder. Since engraving tools are simple you may find custom made points relatively inexpensive....

I have no experience here BUT: Have you considered making a stencil over the glass and then blasting it with grit? Does she really need glass, could you use clear plastic?
