Hardinge calls them P16. Some others call it P1653C (collet) and P1653D (guide bushing). At least that's what my NN13 takes.

It's an Ingersoll 1.250 w/.375 shank, 6 inserted facemill.

145 copper machines nice. So does 6061 and 360 brass.

I've used 1.250" inserted facemill and I've used .02" diameter ball mill (diameter, not radius)

On X and Y I can hold .0015". My Z axis...

I cut 360 brass and T6 aluminum. How fine do you want to go? I've used .02" ball mills on brass.

X and Y I can hold a .001". Z wanders a bit. .005".

They just had one for Chinese New Year. Not sure when the next one will be though.

Hahahaha! Yes, now I see the confusion.

That's a pretty smart idea you have there. Might give that a try when I use the 4th axis. [emoji1303]

The cord on this thing is too short! Has anyone tried an extension?

Has anyone ever put an extension on their tool setter? If I measure correctly, it's a 2.1mm-ish ID and a 5.5mm-ish OD. Amazon has one that's 6ft. I really just need another foot or two.

I used Zerex Asian vehicle formula, 50/50. I had about 3 quarts of it left after using 1 quart in my Subaru. I added about 2 quarts of water just to fill up my 5 gallon bucket enough so it was over...

IMHO, I would not use a fly cutter with these spindles. At 5000+ rpm, I'm concerned about balance. If the tool is out of balance (like fly cutters are) it may cause premature bearing wear.

I've used a 5 inserted 1.5" facemill. It was one a customer of mine said it was ruined and they were throwing it away. I repaired it and it's perfect for brass/aluminum.

I live in Ohio, have the X6-2200L. I didn't have or want to put 220v in my basement. I went with the 110v version. It's still spec' out as 2.2kw and the ER20 collet.

I'm more interested in the plexiglass sides. Is there any interference issues?

If you flip your part in the vice and use the same X and Y coordinate, you'd just have to set Z. Of course this all depends on what you're making.

Has anyone tried to use Windows 10? I just hooked it up to my windows 10 box, installed Mach3 and it works.

This is a great solution and will be my next upgrade!

Are you using coolant or air for the cutting lubrication?

According to the Fanuc Oi-TD manual, its a program issue with the Parenthesis not being open and closed. make sure you have both (of these) in the program.

You never will do anything that the machine can't handle (as long as you can chuck it you can make it). You just have to be a bit creative when doing things, AKA Think outside the box...
