Hard to say for sure how long as I run them in batches. I would say 15 min a part from rough oversized stock to finished part. Including setups but that is why I batch it so my time might be less....

Well the bar was not turned [emoji3]just in by mistake but was a cnc part.

Here are some turned parts including tapers cut cnc.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160207/7cb052dc94cef56aa5dbceed1739fa1a.jpg

Here are a couple parts I make. It is a qctp solution for the Taig micro...

I know there are some that have had issues. For me I expected it on a China built machine. But for those like me who have pushed through them. You can sure make quality built parts from a Shopmaster....

I for one if you researched and found that Shopmaster fits the requirements you need and budget think you did just fine. There is always someone with an ax to grind. I am happy with mine. Took some...

BlackICE1, was right on in motor configuration and this is done per axis. I found in lathe mode doing threading operations I can hold 60 under load since it is such a light cut, and was needed so...

Actually I did not turn off PID, I just changed the vfd settings to allow for manual controll using the knob. Then I adjust to desired rpm and fed back the turn rpm value using the laser tach into...

I had issues with taper cutting over distance with stock only in the headstock and in order to fix it I loosen the 4 bolts that hold down the headstock stock to base and was able to get it cutting...

When I received the machine, I saw what you are seeing on my 2014 model, the 5th column added support to to bottom (z) but was easily deflecting front to back (y), my solution was to build a frame...

Well the shuttle acceleration setting is used in backlash movements and a Mpg shuttle controll. Have set for .004 on both mill which was original setting and now lathe creates a less jerky backlash...

Came from a company called ToolSupply
here is a link to one of his auctions found while on my phone so hope the link works.

Smallblock, I found the shuttle wheel setting but what does it do exactly?
Thanks

Fiero Addiction, did you change to 1:1 drive on both x and y? Where did you get the pulley for the y axis? JT is sending me for my x.
Thanks

Thanks to the info, and a couple talks earlier with JT, he is sending me new belt and pulley to get to 1:1 like mentioned here. He remembered someone mentioning using it, he just wasn't sure where so...

Hello,
This is all great info. When you mention to tweet the gcode smallblock I am not sure what I would be looking at, as when the wizard generates the code it is like you said, 500 rpm and if i...

Hello,
What I did was build a square tube frame with gussets and mounted at the 4 corners and above the machine and then braced where the 5th column is so that when the 5th is tighten there is much...

As with any China built machine there are improvements that can be made. It has been said many times before, there needs to be clearance between the quill and bridge bore or things will bind. I knew...

Hello,
Just to let you guys see, I placed holes at 12mm and 50mm on both sides at 60 degree angle. I am using custom brass dog set screws. Had to drop the bridge to get the ones on the motor side...

Hello,
I am looking to find out how far someone with a shopmaster with center x axis ballcrew has pushed the x and y axis velocity and acceleration settings in motor tuning screen in mach 3. My...

Hello,
I have done the same to my shopmaster cnc with c7 ballscrew as well. Each axis was different on size when I did the work. One started at .1245 and I was able to go to .1265 and the other...

Hello,
When you say 40mm above it do you mean then 52mm from bottom for second hole? With that on mine I would run into the lock hardware on bridge/spindle area on my 2014 model not sure on others....

Hello,
What size set screws did you use? I have been looking to do this myself but haven't decided what size I should go with.
Thank you

I had done this with mine some time back. It does help with the spindle assembly rotating as well as it being affected by the pulley when the spindle not locked, it also pushes the whole assembly...

I use telescoping bore gauge with micrometer once you have a good repeatable method can hit a few tenths, and then I always verify with an inside mic or inside bore gauge.

Hello CG, I can run this im about a week when off bed rest. But I have had decent luck with circles once I setup backlash and motor speeds. Was running exact stop but now changed to cv mode too speed...

Got my home/limit switches installed. For now did single switch install and not separate home and limit switches. I did the home ones and then set soft limits. The y axis dro limits some of the...

It is always fun to play when the wife is gone. Not sure doing alignments is that much fun, but hey I am busy right now with installing home switches, and since there are no provisions for it, take a...

Cg, I guess i will look into about low cutting on mine. I am not sure after an accurate tram that may be happening.
Thanks

When I tramed I used a homemade indicol like used on Bridgeport and but placed in the spindle and swiveled it along x and y so that the spindle was square to the table like on my smaller mill. But...
