This made me laugh. We have so many turning inserts in stock the local dealer uses us as their warehouse, but convincing my boss to get solid works was like asking for a space shuttle ticket to the...

I have used a piece of coathanger that I bolted to whatever available fastener was in the area of the part off tool, bent it just right so it caught the part in the id as it separated. If I got the...

Seems something is wrong.

I don't have the high torque option, but have tapped 1" deep m16 tap through 4340 with no problem.

Is it alarming because the spindle isnt locked? I have had problems...

We run a SH633, with lots of cast iron, that just kills the coolant,and have never had an issue. 10 k RPM spindle. Seems odd to me.


Locktiting pull studs? Serous? I have never had one come loose...

I just cleaned out my turret solenoid valve for the same thing. It is in the back of the machine. I just pulled mine apart, cleaned it, greased it up, and bam...works beautiful.

Be very carefull...

Sure. You could get an air spindle and mount it in the turret, or buy the Haas drive..I think you could do it all for a couple of grand. The problem is that you cant orient the spindle to do...

I hate safety glasses. I will not wear them unless I am running a manual machine, or a grinder.

I dont wear them when I mow the lawn or have sex. I also dont wear a helmet in the car, nor does my...

I dont have a gearbox. 20 hp motor.


I don't remember exacally, but it seems like I ran normal surface footage, but the depth of cut and feed was about half of what I normally run until I got in...

I have cut 10" 4140 that had lots of face grooving,and od work on my TL-15. Getting that big I had to really take it easy, because I would stall the motor. I hated doing it, but was in the same boat...

I am a firm believer in redundant programing.

Makes my life easier when I am looking through a program and all of the XYZs are in proper order, or if everyone in the shop rapids to .1 or if they...

My Haas holds tenths all day. I spend all day on a Mori with a **** Fanuc control. Moris are nice machines, but they are not all that and pot stickers too..

I have never run any live tool machine...

Acroloc tool holders. rofl I think we had a lathe that was set up full time just to make all those stupid pins and crap. God I hated those machines.

Fanuc controls suck bawls. Sorry. I spend all day with one on a Mori. I am so happy to get home to run my Haas. :)

Try these guys. I know they are hiring. They posted a thread here some time ago. I think the person you want to contact is Juan.

There seems to be quit a few jobs right now. Check the jobs...

My turret would clunk. The die springs that push the turret out had all broken, and the two dogs would hit each other as it indexed. Easy fix. I just bought the springs from the service guy and...

I can build better parts than than any body, in any country. Fast, and perfect. CNC or manual.


I back myself up with the parts I produce every day. There isnt any from any country that can back...

No.

Wow. you guys are some bleak ****s.

I think if you are ambitious and stay focused on what the future has, and will bring, you will aspire to any greatness you wish...just as it was in the time of...

Woohoo cool new toy! Nice clean shop.


I really like the Eppinger tool holders....super easy to rebuild. :D

Seriously get live tooling.

Wow. Sorry that happened.

I havent been using the live tools for a while, but i have a job running now that is using them, so I have had a chance to play around some more with this problem.


I have an air supply issue. I...

Mine is the same way.

Could you tell me how?

So I think I figured it out.

There is a piston in the drive axis mount that when presurized with air rocks the mount and then drive connecting the drive gear, and the gear on the spindle. I am...

alarm 622 c-axis engagement


It will do it every time, but if I reset two or three times it will run fine.


There are two micro switches in the c drive. If I put a shim under the one towards...

You don't have a book?


Basically you are going to put the same value that you use in the g50 line, in the offset of the tool. When you call the tool change, it picks up the xz value.


If you...

Grade 5 is 6al4v, or grade 23. The only difference is grade 23 has less oxygen.


I think you will be better off making your weapon out of steel.

What are the tolerances?

Interesting. My machine alarms when using it. Must be doing something wrong.
