OK, I admit it, I'm a newbie. I've done about as much reading as I can stomach, and I've learned a lot about why you don't want your chip loads to be too high or too low. I get it, at least in...

I have the same question, but more general -- how do I find MRR charts for milling by horsepower?

At this moment, I want to know: what's an appropriate MRR for my 1/4 HP taig in unknown scrap...

I'm ready to start milling my first 3d-modeled part, an aluminum block with a vertical L-shaped protrusion.

I tend to assume that the coders know more than I, but with default settings, the...

Yoyoek1, any plans to support Blender 2.5 in the near future?

Update:

Yes, brand new spindle from A2Z. I'll check with them.

Thanks, that seems to have worked. Ran it for a half-hour on the third-fastest pulley, then it would spin up (barely) on the second. Ten minutes of that, and it worked on the fastest.

I finally found myself in a place with room for a workshop. Got my taig mil (the CR model with the 1/4 hp motor) out of storage and put an ER16 spindle on it. I've done a bunch of cutting with it,...

I've looked around a little, and can't find a solid trapezoidal threading bar. Would you suspect that I'd have to hand-grind one?

I'm interested in tooling up to do single-point thread cutting on my Taig mill, and thinking that an indexable insert system makes the most sense, but am a little bewildered by the variety available....

Well that's substantially easier than what I had in mind. Thanks very much!

I had a Haian 3-in-1 fall into my lap much more cheaply than the drill press that I otherwise would've had to buy. I've started doing a little milling on it, and I've quickly come to realize that...
