Hi everyone, hoping I could get some help with a DNC issue I have. I have 18imb control on a Fadal. I bought a usb to cnc from Calmotion and I have been moving files back and forth with no problem....

Hi everyone, looking for some help setting the cold start position on the z axis. I have the fanuc 18i-mb controller if that helps. I have the manual and read the procedure but I just chase the...

If you dig down the postings a page or two mflux_gamblej did a great job on documenting his spindle replacement. I think he might even talk about the price and where he got it from.

If you run it on single phase you will have about 60% of your power. If you get the phase convert you wouldn't need to get 30 hp one just get the one for the correct size of the machine. Keep in...

My machine pulls 55 max amps but that's on 3 phase so if u get a phase converter for a 22hp machine max amps on the phase converter is 125amps. I should of been more clear on that.

Well I think it's your lucky day. I was in the exact place this last spring. I will give you my thoughts on this subject and it's just my opinion so take it as you will. I was looking at buying a...

I have looked at the hsm advisor. Seems a lot of people run this. I did the free trial deal and i felt it was fairly straight forward. Most of the products will be alum. With some 4140 parts form...

Thank you for the advice. I will most likely go with a standard holders. I would like to get your thoughts on end mill holders verses collets. I'm sure someday I will have plenty of both but right...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the machining world so I have a lot to learn. I bought 2005 4020 ht and this is my frist machine. I have been slowly gathering tooling. I have a few questions for some real...

Jp how's the table doing? Hopefully you got something figured out.

Not a problem. I'm glad I could give back finally. No sure if you have ever bought a machine like this befor but there is a lot of things that go hand and hand. I just bought my machine last month...

Hi billsnogo, I just bought a 2005 2040 with a 28 Z . I was able to just slide it through a standard hight garage door of 83 1/2. I put 1/4 plastic sheet down and pushed it in with a forklift. I...

Table is looking good. Can't wait to see some parts off of it. Maybe we can get a video?

JP your table is looking awesome. I'm glad I decided to look around befor I bought a table. I kept on thinking this is something we could build in the shop and seeing your table really sealed the...

Sure does suck that they will be making the machine out side the USA. I'm sure they won't be the same machine anyways. New engineers and management sounds like a different machine in the making. I...

It was more of a observation. Just something I noticed. If they were coming back and the rumor that they were at Chicago one would think it would be bigger news. That would be nice if they did come...

I found the YouTube channel. Look up David Decaussin.

When I was researching fadal machines befor I bought mine I came across a YouTube channel with a little fadal running a R8 spindle. I looked into it and found a website for them but it seemed it...

It's killing me... Is this machine making parts?

Did a very good job of taking pic and writing up the things you came across. I don't see to much activity on this forum so nice to see someone take time to write up a nice detail procedure on the...
