Thanks ichudov! I thought they went out of business.

Hi guys,

Hey guys,

Need your input. I'm trying to compare the 225 tm-cnc with the tmi-cnc. the strongest argument i found thus far was the belt-driven system on the 225 TM produces more continuous power,...

Oh my I think I'm in love! The 102 TM-CNC looks ideal!! Has anyone played with this one yet? Unbelievable tolerances. Thank you

Now i'm reading that most jewelry/watch makers use a mini lathes and machines that run on belt to prevent machine vibration to get the precision needed. So now I'm back to me original question can i...

Thanks for verifying that a mini Lathe could not keep the necessary tolerances that the larger precision tool lathes can!

your absolutely rt, max is 4000lbs so this is limiting me on selections as well

Ganesh will actually custom make their chip pan so i can get it into the door so now i am more leaning towards this machine. Has anyone heard much on it?

Hey I'm in the chicago area with a shop downtown and I'd come check ya'll out if it was near.

Hey guys,

I've never toyed with a mini lathe before. We are about to purchase a nice CNC precision tool room lathe (possibly a ganesh or a hardinge with a fagor control) but I was wondering would...

Thanks for the read guys..this is right up my alley. I am confronted daily in the world of science with bright PHD's and Docs everywhere asking me to preform their miracles. Being the low woman on...

Beautiful! They are going to try and see what they can do to beef up a Hardinge and slap a Fagor on it. Thanks Todd. My other top choices were the HassT2 because of the larger chuck and good torque...

without door frame i can get 40"

Thanks Todd, Ideally we would like a hardinge chucker with fagor, question is now can we even get it through the 26" door?

I will call around to the other places as well, especially summit (second...

I am in the market for a precision tool room lathe. Is it possible to get a hardinge with a Fagor control. We are already running on a bridgeport with a fagor 8040. If so where can i pick one up? ...

ok how does one use a drill bushing?

Ok what type of tool holder do you all suggest? We are currently using a Wire Gauge Drill Chuck and collet. It appears that there is a lot of wobble as the drill enters after each peck. I was...

my machine only goes up to 3500rpm!

Lord help me from breaking anymore drills! Whats the trick? I am drilling into Aluminum going about 1000rpm and barely pecking into the parts with jobbers on a series 1 Bridgeport using a Wire...

We currently have a Fagor control on a series 2 Bridgeport and an older bridgeport with a DRO. We are going to purchase a CNC Lathe among other things.
Programs?

My company is looking to hire a part time EXPERIENCED machinist located in the downtown Chicago area in a custom shop working on very innovated prototypes. Please let me know if you are interested.

This is exactly along the lines I think Mr. Rumor was referring to, although he wishing to make very complex curves like the human anatomy.

You guys are great! Thanks for chiming in. I'm looking forward to talking to Mr.Rumor more to see what he actually heard and what his source is...I agree that there are so many machines dependent...

So I heard a rumor the other day the day teh machines are no longer going to run on G-Code. Is this true, that G-Code with be obsolete at some point?

Does anyone use UGS NX CAM? If so how do they like it?

Does anyone use UGS?
