Best advise is above
Use either a GUN tap to push chip in front of the tap (in thru hole only, of course) or Roll tap. Roll taps are stronger, no flute to reduce tap body diameter. And, Roll...

I second the MD tooling suggestion

They have very innovative static holders (quad turning holders, and a great cutoff blade holder)

Their live tools are less expensive than the Daewoo standard...

Need a candidate proficient with MasterCam X (milling/Level 3- 3D tool path)

Daewoo lathes (4): Fanuc control programming, live tooling, y axis, c axis, sub-spindle (twin turret), and we do...

OK, you may need to be over 40 years old to help with this.

I am looking for a roller box tool. I last used one in the 70's. They were used on screw machines and turret lathes to turn long,...

Thanks for the feedback. No, we have not bought the new machine yet.

Interesting you remark on the stock push back problem.. We hare seeing that also. We are using Hot rolled...

As many of you know, I am a owner of 4 pieces of Doosan/Daewoo equipment. 3 lathes and a mill. I have had some problems, one of which I was severely ticked off about, and voiced it here on this...

We have openings in Jacksonville, Florida

New machines and good tooling. Fanuc controlled mill/turn centers, Haas and Fanuc controlled mills.

MasterCam X2, level 3 programming.

Good pay...

We have 3 Daewoo / Doosan mill-turn centers. 2500LSY, 2500SY, and 2000SY

My sentiments are very close to the comments above.

Good bang for the buck, compared to Mori Sieki or Nokamura Tomi. ...

Not too many apples to apples comparisons yet.

We are taking heavier cuts on the Doosan. Specifically with a 3 inch face mill on 4340 HRA stock. Cut width 2.5 inches X .1 depth of cut. The...

We just put a new 4020 Box Way Doosan on the floor about 4 weeks ago. We have 3 Haas VMC's on the floor, some for over 4 years.

We needed a mill immediately for a job. Haas could not deliver one...

Don't know if I understand the application, but I think you are asking about milling a thread on the radial side of a part, not an end face.

We do this radial type of hole, and it is a...

We run 3 Daewoo's, SY's and LSY's. The sub spindle does not have much horsepower, good for most second operations, but still not near what the main spindle has. We always try to program the part to...

Just an update

Thanks for all the input (except for Bad Dog)

Doosan now is providing upgraded switches (both proximity and hydraulic). This thread did what it was designed to do. The thread...

Hello Fellow Machinist from Across the Pond

I am considering purchasing a Eurotech Lathe. The brand name is not well known in the US. They look like good machines, good features, and Fanuc...

I looked at Methods web site the other night after Toby suggested. They carry the Nakamura line for lathes. CDLENT (sp?) posted saying Nakamura was comparable to Mori as far as quality. Anybody...

I suggest you read your post that I quoted several blocks up. I have no problem with people sharing Daewoo experiences, that is what this thread is about. I have had positive experience with...

Well, Bad Puppy

First, I own the place. And, unfortunately I am responsible for all the debt incurred on buying these pieces of crap Doosans. The company has been in business for 8 years and is...

I have begged for help. I have also spent over 700K on their products (almost 800K invested with additional live tooling ect) So really I should not have to beg for help, or resort to threats to...

Thanks for your feedback.

We continue to have problems. Daewoo still has not supplied a cable to repair our 10 month old machine. The Fanuc guy installed a patch cable to get us running (we have...

Now it is the cable and not the amplifier. The cable in question is part of a larger cable bundle, so they want to "jerry rig" a seperate cable path, install a new conduit and drill the control...

I decided to revive this thread. I have purchased 3 Daewoo/Doosan SY lathes in the last 11 months. Pieces of crap, consistant recurring problems. Mori is coming next week to try and help. Here is...

Now going over 100 hours of downtime. Now Fanuc says it's a Daewoo problem. I wouldn't be so mad if this was our first or even second breakdown. But it is multiple breakdowns on multiple machines...

We have been running a TL3 for 3 years. Very happy with the unit. When we were shopping we looked at Milltronics, they have a larger product line of these type of lathes. We decided on the Haas...

We are now passing 72 hours of lost production THIS WEEK on the 10 month old 2500 LSY. And, it is the second time it has crapped out in the last 30 days.

We are also seeing a problem we have...

If you have basic knowledge in the in the software you described, and basic experience as an operator, you are very much underpaid.

I don't know SW Wis., if it is predominantly a rural area, the...

We have 3 Daewoo lathes, 2500 LSY (new 8/2006) / 2500 SY (bought used 11/06 was new in 2004) / 2000SY (bought new 3/07). Last year there was a thread on comparisons between Daewoo and Mori Seiki...
