Thanks guys. I think I will have to mess around with the table and see how much movement I can get out of it.

I have been cutting some circular aluminum parts on my mill and have been noticing that I get a noticable transisition at the +/- X and Y axis points on the part. It is very small (in the few...

Alot depends on the cutter size and type. Need to use an al cutter 3 flute works great. Speeds and feeds depend on cutter size, material setup, final finish, dry / wet, etc. Any more details you...

Can't find a smaller piece. The flange needs to be the 9" in dia.

Lathe is not an option right now.

Guys,

I have a billet of 4140 HR annealed that is 9" in dia and about 10" long. It is being made into a spindle. The flange 9" dia is about a 1.25" thick and the rest of the length gets cut down...

I wanted to finish some parts and get them anodized. I scotch brighted the parts (green 00 steel wool equilivant) and 'thought' that I had done enough prep work. I was then told that I need to...

That is really cool!!. So, if I understand correctly, the aluminum weights are drilled eccentrically and cause the vibartion, yes? How much weight did you use and what are the off sets? Are you...

O.k. Re-ran the post and some stuff scrolled on the bottom two lines of the screen.

Selector variable opcode =19.0
out of range for string select.

Is there a way we can view all of the info...

Rekd,

Thanks for the help. We have not had a working file from MC on the machine yet. We have just be using the intercon through Centroid. We are 'trading' cad work for some cam with a guy that...

The post for a Centroid controller is MC's MPCENM4. On the first page it says 'Warning: it is generic and is intended for modification to the machine tool requirements and personal preference'. The...

I went through a big trade study of new vs. used. Used as is vs. retrofitting. Best way to go (bang for buck, best iron, nicest controller) was to buy a late 80s early 90s mold making machine with...

Leroy,

Could you pm me a copy of your prints, or just post them here in the thread? Am I to understand that the thickest part is .1"? Is the 'L' part bent? Does it need to be assembled? How...

Cadcam, I use Iges transfer becasue I am running version 8 of mastercam. I have not spent the money to upgrade to v9. You are right, if I could bring it in as a 'complete solid' that would be...

I think you are missing a piece of software. MSC Dynamic Modeler.

Trying to manage a million configurations and use the animation toolbar in solidworks is a horrible.

Sketches created in assembly mode and not used to become a part (using a top down design approach) is bad design technique. I have seen a lot of models that 'look' right, but are hacked together and...

What system did you use to upgrade the 4020? What was the cost of the hardware?

Thanks.

Tom.

Ken,

I think you are right, but I do have some reversations about putting them out there. I also noticed on the drawings, that the hidden lines in the front view on page two, did not show up. ...

Anyone?

Sean,

Please check your pm.

Tom.

Well, here goes try #2. I did check the title block and I can read the info this time. (I should have learned to proof read drawings by now.)

Need to quotes. one for 14 drag links and 56...

I have been following this thread and must say what a nice piece of work!! I wish I had the time to try to build this.

Ewu. My apologies guys. I never realized that the jpgs came out so ****ty. I never zoomed up on the title blocks. The model is on another machine, and I will not be able to get to it until this...

James,

Materials are listed on the drawings per part, and tolerance is listed in the title block on drawings. All are specified as +/-0.01 unless specified on at the dim itself. Finish, somewere...

I need a quote for 14 drag links (sht 2 and 3), 56 bushings (sht 4), and a quote for 24 drag links (sht 2 and 3), 96 bushings (sht 4). No assembly required. Please let me know what type of...
