Not sure this is up to code, but it seems that you could take one leg off the 240V if you have a neutral and ground available there and run your 120V out of the cabinet. I'm assing you've got 2...

This is interesting info. Do you know what the product number is? I was wondering if they also sold a Pulsar equivalent.
I've been keeping an eye on this thread but don't have much to add. I'll be interested what route you all end up going. I purchased the DIYish tool changer from a forum member for my Novakon, but...
That's interesting, I was just using one of those power supplies to test an onboard air compressor. There's a bunch of different vendors for those on Amazon for about 20-30 bucks - probably all made...
That's the one! I remember seeing it a year or two ago and being intrigued. I don't remember seeing any specifications about indexing resolution though.
Same boat here. I have one for my Pulsar, but I've only tested it out. To do it again, I'd probably look at either a harmonic drive 4th axis or a fast unit like the Rapidturn. There was another...
Doesn't Ray's tool changer work with R8 tooling? It seemed like there was something interesting going on there.
I actually purchased a tool changer from a forum member for my Pulsar, but I...
I'd guess it's blow molded, but I'm not sure...
One more thing - I think a big issue is that you're clamping two pieces on one vise that are not the same size. One of them will always be a bit loose unless there's a secondary engagement.
There are several companies that make gripper jaws that might be good for this type of operation. I'm not sure you'd want to hold your final piece in there though, so you'd probably have to use a...
This thread is really good - I'm always interested in learning more about workingholding from you guys.
Regarding the OP's question - I know Mitee Bite makes ID clamps, and you may want to check...
I've used a lot of different double sided tapes for workholding in the past. I find the Scotch 410M is my favorite tape for workholding. It's thin and adheres well. The residue can be removed...
Down for me at the moment. Probably just getting updated.
Nothing to add here; happy you got it up and running!
I like the idea of spray adhesive for your application. I would use a subplate with grooves and then soak in acetone to release the part.
I was going to point you to Steve's build as well. I bought the parts to make it but haven't gotten around to it yet...
The spindle nut is held in place by 3 set screws that go in to the collar and lock in wedges that keep it in place. If I recall, once the set screws were loosened, mine was pretty easy to loosen. ...
It should be fine to run the spindle without the drawbar. The fact that the drawbar is moving while the spindle is turning suggests that the lever drawbar may be poorly adjusted. One of the first...
What size mill did you say you were looking for? That could give us some more ideas on where to look...
What size mill are you looking for, and what are you going to be cutting? Do you already have the motors for the conversion?
If the timeframe and quality are that critical for you, I would...
Hi guys,
I have just finished moving to a new house up in New Hampshire. I am trying to figure out where to put my Pulsar. The house we're in has an attached workshop, which would be the ideal...
That looks great!
Did you figure this out? How's progress going?
I've been in the same boat recently. I think two of the big factors are how much space you have for equipment as well as the size and thickness of plate you want to cut. If you're not cutting...
Great thread idea! I'm always on the lookout for new workholding ideas.
Awhile back I had a project where I needed to hold some relatively small delrin parts during a secondary chamfering...
I believe fiber lasers will cut brass. Are the parts bent afterwards? If so, a cut/bend tool on a press is probably your best bet.
I use SolidWorks for all of my CAD and use the BobCAM plug in for SolidWorks. I've been using SolidWorks for years for CAD work, and enough other people use it that it's pretty well standardized. ...
Thanks for the info, it looks stout and in great shape. I'm enjoying this thread!
Off topic - what is your green lathe in the back? It looks like a SB 10 inch or something.
Looks good! I've been wanting to get mine together but have been short on time recently. I think I'll steal from your design when I finally get around to it.
