What shape is the machine in? Does it have a hard drive, floppy or just the tape drive, does it have the manual or pneumatic tool release, tool changer single / dual? There are way too many...

Funny. I am running my vertical horizontal right now. 17-4 stainless blocks, 2 parts on 1 fixture.

I still thinkin the mini mill is the best bang for the buck. I am working on the fiance to let...

You know. I looked at that way cover from the side one, and thought maybe i am seeing things. I based that assumption on 2 vises and a rotary table (I thought was a 210, but must be a 160. The tool...

We know youa re incompetent. You put all the chips at the back of the machine so you have to pull them forward. 180 the way you are cutting and have them dump right into the chip auger. PS dont try...

press the setting / graph button once. This is the general setting page. turn setting 64 to off.



put txx into spindle,press hand jog, then press the offset button

In the length geometry...

I ran across this same problem, it was the tool emasure setting. I also never use the atcfwd / atcrev. I alway key in the tool or pocket I want.

The other thing I did not mention is any air gaps (hopefully none), will have to be considered in your displacement via the screw. we had a few bubbles in our original design, which was basically a...

Andre B thanks for the clickable link.

I know that it works radially, but it would be interesting to see in a multiple axial setup like you proposed in your JPEG. I think if you had stop...

Here is a video of som 6al4v, I did with trochoidal milling (I spelled it wrong on youtube). Full 1.5" depth of cut. Took about 3 mins to wipe the sides off of a 2" Dia bar. ...

Just use modeling clay from the craft store. Clay will do only so much. BTW is this a merkur part :)... Sometimes there are other ways to cancel out the vibrations without the use of clay. CLay can...

Well I did some formed sheet metal parts, and it works great. Holding .001 or better tolerances. Looking into doing a few more parts here...

What are you tolerances? PM Sent.

Well the plate is 2" thick. we machine it to thickness then make the parts. I dont know how thick you bracket is? FOr my car it is 1" with a recess of .5". SO there is a lot of material. What...

It is the drops from some of the Aerospace parts we machine. It is not a strong as a form forge part but seemed better than using regular plate. We run the job regularly so if you need a few pieces...

I make my brake caliper adaptor out of aluminum. THey hold up fine so far on road, and on the track. I use forged T6 plate and machine them out. I have made some out of 4130 plate (3/8" thick and...

I purchased one of the angle-lock copy vises from the little machine shop 4" version. I was getting bad parts consistently and the keyed jaw would flex .005+ when the vise was tightened. It also was...

I like the steel angle welded together. Use MDF as a top until you get a little more money, then you can put on a sheet of 1" phenolic, and integrate a vaccum table / and threaded inserts for...

Well one our 3 Haas Mills we dont use the O to load. If we number the program 1121.nc, the to load it is

list Prgm

I dont use master cam (Solidworks, and Solidcam), but and Iges or even a dxf would be sufficent. It is definitally doable. I will do probably mill the punch and edm the die. I have a few mini die...

It is that thick for a fwe reasons. We are running 40lbs of boost on these motors, and even 1/8th" flexes, and usually a 50-150 shot of nitrous is used depending on the car. The runners need to be...

I am finishing up the design on a intake for a car, and need quotes on 16 Runners, and 4 Plenums. They are both hollow, and I will make the patterns for each. .25" -.375" wall thickness. I was...

I have 2 different pins that need to be made. I will get a dxf of each posted tomorrow. They need to be .251 od +/-.001 they are approximately .400" long with a .187 +0/-.0005 step (.100 deep...

You could make a mold that you place the part in and fill the voids with plaster of paris, or wax. Then machine the part, and then either soak or heat and clean.

What cutter / spindle speeds...

I could make a Die for the kick press that would work. How many do you need? Just one set?

I am with HU..
Get a new tool holder. DY kem it then without a pull stud press it into the spindle bore, and see where the wear is. ( clean well first).. If this has lines showing up it it.. Make...

I could possibly work somthing out with you. I would need all of your machine parameters, rotational limits, g and m codes, swing length without tool so I could make a post. I use solidcam.

Why not just modify a fanuc post to work. They are very similar. Depending on how crazy you want the post to be.

Well
If you are looking for a shop, I would be happy to take a look at them for you. I recently took a job as a consultant for an aerospace company, and only do small side work.

Are the...

ANother way is to get it to the rough angle then use a dial indicator over say 1" the calculate the the angle by using the indicators reading. I dont know how you want the angle, but you can use this...

I will upload a few more photos of my copper plate fixtures. Maybe it will work for you. Star by clamping the edges (left right) drill all the hole, the place the cover plate over remove side clamps,...
