I found some of my old cd's and on one i had the whole '06 industrial hobbies website saved. In that i had the manual automatic tool change write up. I in no way wrote this. It was posted on the...

thanks for the added info. that is very helpful.

thank you ray. i figured that is what i could do but wanted to be sure first.

correct it is an x2. And if you take to heavy of a cut or to fast (on purpose or accidentally) the head will move. And when you got a cnc setup on the z axis its a pain in the ass to re-tram. I...

i got the spindle castings aligned to the colum. I want to possibly drill and roll pin the 2 pc casting together along with the bolts to keep that alignment. I just hate redoing the column...

has anyone pinned the two separate head castings together once they got the two in alignment? I just finished everything on the new cnc and am a little concerned about checking tram every time i got...

I got my 3rd personal x2 conversion done. i go to tram it in and see that it is 10* out from left to right on x axis. no matter what i change the divide stays at 10*. So what i am coming up with...

So i got a hold of an old IH cnc that seems to have it all there. I sat the mill in the corner of my shop and forgot about it. Now i am getting this thing torndown and ready. It has rust on the...

thanks hoss. i got to doing a lot of research and decided on a few things. I will let you guys know when I get done. and post pictures along the way. I know I will be upgrading my ball screw and...

can you please post pics as to how to do it?

hey got my second minimill x2 from a local guy. made all the parts on my first cnc before selling it. I got all the cnc stuff done and mounted. now i am running into a few things
1. while trying...

gebtlemen,

not selling because i have too. i was selling because i like building the conversions. I have a few cnc mills now and could careless if i have an extra or not. The sale was to help...

can anybody scan in their cummins minilathe manual? I seem to have lost mine and like to have a manual for all my machines.

neither...I have a few machines and just enjoy the retofitting process. I have an industrial hobbies that i am doing the control box for now and will be up and running.

It is exactly like hoss'...

sorry to not include any info i did not want to waste bandwidth since it was in the classified forum....
it is a Cummins X2 cnced with hoss' conversion blueprints and probotix 3 axis red motors kit....

i put my mill in the classifieds for 1100.00. Do you think that is to much to ask? I don't want to gouge anyone but i want to get out of it what i put in. I am just concerned that I may come off...

lol good point. I have another IH mill waiting for a bebuild and then a grizzly minimill and a 7x14 minilathe so i guess it is both. Tramming is the next big thing.

what do you think is the next step? I already spent the time running programs in the air, marker test, wood test and metal test. I guess i need to redo the z axis stuff the right way. For test...

i know what i want. i want to use a c10 and c17 BOB and control board with my probotix drivers. I talked to chris and he said it can't be done as the new driver boards do not have the screw...

Thanks for the help. That made sense.

ok can you explain the datum and where to put it? I mean is it arbitrary and can can be put anywhere? Also how do you set the code for fixturing?(G54 and such?)

I figure i can get 3 of these on...

I searched and did not get the answers that made sense. I have a part or few parts I want to make on my X2 cnc mill. I am using mach3 to control the machine. I would like to use a fixture system...

Guys its been a while since I have posted. I would like to ask how you would go about moving an assembled mill into a new shop? I am trying to move a 10" collar IH mill about 40 miles. The mill is...

that is exactly what i need. Thank you very much.

any information would be helpful.

Nate,
thank you for the input.

I still need some other options as to how to put it together.

I have been trying to figure out what makes a good cryptex. For those of you that do not know search google. Justin N (www.cryptex.org)pretty much has the best one out there, but I have no idea of...
