Hi Guys..

I was hoping for an opinion from someone who has installed a one shot oiler before... Where on the machine or stand did you put your pump?

There are several spots I have considered...

The factory designed and built this head based on the standard bearings from the original IH head. So 4000rpm is about the recommended max. Unfortunately when I asked the factory for more of them...

Hi...

Hi Guys...

This is an interesting debate so I would like to post a few points to help clear the air...

For the record, the machine is not actually called the "IH Clone" that is just a...

The factory made a mistake about the draw bars. They were not suppose to be metric. I am having them make some standard 7/16-20 draw bars to replace the 12mm metric ones. I should have them...

Hi BigSpike..



We are taking orders for a late August shipment so anything ordered should be shipped out to the customer by early September.

Crossing the border is not that bad. There is a...

Oh ok... I just thought he was asking if anyone imports this machine and sell to customers in the USA...

I believe the Griz 0509, Sieg X4 and the enco ones specified are all R45 style machines..

The Sieg SX4 is kind of like a cross between an RF45 column and table and a super sized SX3 head...

Hi Ian...

I am glad you liked it. :)

Incase you are still interested, we import from Sieg all the time. It wouldn't be any trouble to add the lathe you are interested in to the next order..

The Z travel is listed as...
Max Dist. spindle nose to table: 17.5"

I listed the 550lbs just as a kind of average. Most of the machines get shipped with a stand...

Thanks for the feed back CR...
But all the specs on my site are correct. As for the completeness goes, that is kind of a function of what information a particular individual is looking for. I try...

That is a very good idea Jeff... I think I will do that.

I personally have never run an X3 before but I do find the gears of the MD003 surprisingly quiet. I don't find the machine noisy at all.

Pat
