This RFQ has been completed.

Hello,

I am looking to receive a quote for the following parts. Quantity would be a minimum of 4 each up to 10. Possibility of ordering more in the future.

The dimensions are not critical,...

RFQ is now closed. Job is complete.

Thanks
Sean

A drill point would be fine, the depth shouldn't exceed 0.5", I would image that would provide plenty of room for machining.

Hello, I am looking to quote the following job.

I have also attached the drawings here as well, just in case. ...

ah ha! I am so used to VMCs. I am certain this will work! Thank you all very much, will give this a go Monday!

Hmm well I can't try it right now; however what if I try

M06 T02 EOB INSERT

shouldn't it rotate to that tool? Same thing, it just sits there and does nothing.

It's been a while since I've have used a CNC lathe so bare with me. I am attempting to get a FEMCO HL-25 up and running. I know the spindle, turret, and axis are working and homing correctly but I...

I work part time at a University I am attending, in the machine shop. My boss swears by this book, I have used it one or two times, haven't really had a chance to look at it in detail, but from what...

One more thing, climb milling and acme screws don't get along well... I would recommend going with conventional. CNC's do well climb milling because of the ballscrews, but manual machine usually...

Sounds like you have it running a bit fast; ideally you want your chips to be a straw color, or a little lighter. If they are blue, you are running too fast and burning up your tools...

I have to do 6 ballscrew ends, and the first one that I was thinking of i didn't anneal, but after I used a torch on the others it was much better, but still wouldn't want to do it on a small lathe,...

I machined my ballscrew ends with a hardinge toolroom lathe, and it was a bear. I wouldn't even THINK of doing it with a smaller lathe. I shudder to think lol

I would have to say accurate, and good value for the dollar do not go hand in hand. You get what you pay for when it comes to machine tools, bison makes some high quality chucks, but expect to pay...

Looks good!, I am glad you figured out the whole circle thing I couldn't quite figure out how to describe it, but at least you go the idea. Gear hobbing is fun, u will enjoy that :)

@skmetal I believe he is using a collet, just a weird long adapter kind of thing from the looks of it...
and about your diameter that you milled...well you notice its exactly half of the cutter,...

do you have the whole thing bolted down? That helps some with over rigidity, but probably not so much with the saddle.

I can almost guarantee that axle's will be way too sloppy for what you need, and I would guess that you would want a thru hole.... that spindle in the picture doesn't appear to have one.

looks really impressive! Excellent work thus far, is the under side of the it cross braced at all? Being all steel I am sure it is plenty fine, thats my only suggestion is running something...

no doubt in my mind that is brass. Just listen to it, thats what brass counds like :)

for the most part yes it is correct. its been a little bit since I have done in depth lathe programming, stuff like g94 and g95 I forget but all the other stuff appears to be good

M-man, those speeds and feeds are made for industrial machines that go balls to the well, unfortunately they can't be used on the mini lathe...

looking pretty slick! I will try and put some pics up of mine (the same as Rotary, and PIngels) Oh its even more depressing when u have the headstock removed with the spindle out of it haha, trust...

my upgrade isn't complete. I am waiting for some parts still, but I think the ballscrew was $20, the nut was $65 The 5/8 Ballnut was much cheaper, look at spending about $130 for both axis...

yes, a few people (me included) use a 3/8 ballscrew and 5/8 from Roton Its an incredibly tight fight on the X axis, and on the lathe there is no Y axis, just X and Z. Although the 3/8 ballnut...

whats wrong with a little more knowledge. I never used Rhino, but I use Mastercam. Sure it takes some effort to learn something new, but then you will be that more skilled :) try and hang in...

Very impressive renderings, the first one seems more akin to the industrial lathes, but understandably; isn't as practical as your second approach, which I applaud. I will be following this post...

hey guys I ordered the sensors rotary mentioned Sharp GP1A05, no one sells them so I had to buy them in bulk, so if anyone want to use these optical gate just shoot me and email or PM. I also...

2hours and 5 minutes as I recall, roughing out this large chunk of alum, I will try and get a pic up of it. prototype part that was going to be cast.

my VMC at work can break form taps just fine :) haha, but rolled threads are indeed much stronger, and pretty
