  1. Re: Easy way to get CAD drawings vs 3D scanner?

    Thanks! I suppose I can just send the part to the cad person and he can send it back.
  2. Re: Need advise on what motor to use. High speed, reversible, heavy weight load.

    Yes I ordered the AC motor by mistake but still hope I can use it for something. Just need to know what else I need for it to get it running in forwards and reverse.
  3. Re: Need advise on what motor to use. High speed, reversible, heavy weight load.

    I got the 5KCP35NNA670T MARATHON P247 motor, I may as well play around with it. Can any one recommend a good drive, switch or anything I need to get this going? I can get the pulleys locally.

  4. Re: Leaving wet coolant in machine overnight for Haas OM-2A

    Thanks! I will look into that fluid. I have a refractometer arriving tomorrow.

    So if I left this kind of coolant on the table for a few days it shouldn't cause any issues right? I guess I could...
  5. Re: Need advise on what motor to use. High speed, reversible, heavy weight load.

    Thanks everyone, let me do a bit more research into this.
  6. Easy way to get CAD drawings vs 3D scanner?

    I am using someone out of state to program g-code for my Haas OM-2A however he requires CAD drawings. Rather than send him each part for him to create the drawings or hiring someone locally to make...
  7. Leaving wet coolant in machine overnight for Haas OM-2A

    Is it okay to leave wet coolant in the machine? If not what would be the process to clean it off every night? Air blast, cloth wipe, lube? I am using this coolant right now 1 Gallon Bottle Cutting...
  8. Re: Need advise on what motor to use. High speed, reversible, heavy weight load.

    Sorry here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_EwgcDxxdM

    I am not quite sure the RPM needed but let's say I would want it to be able to move something like a conveyor belt with a 250lb...
  9. Re: Need advise on what motor to use. High speed, reversible, heavy weight load.

    Founds this video just now showing the instant reverse. Just need to know the name of the motor type and technical name of the instant reverse feature so I can find one for sale on eBay or perhaps...
  10. Need advise on what motor to use. High speed, reversible, heavy weight load.

    I am working on a project that will need to shift a 250 lb object back and forth about a meter at a high rate of speed with minimal vibration. What motor would be best to use for this? AC? DC?...

    Understand, the machining has to be done on both sides, would probably machine 75% of it on one side then flip it over to machine the other side. If I shave off 1/2" out of the inside circle and then...
  12. Scrap value quesiton, chips vs chunks. Coolant mixed with chips?

    I had a couple questions about making the most out of scrap 6061 aluminum.

    1. Lets say I need to cut a 3" hole in the aluminum with a 1/2" endmill. Would it be more practical to machine a circle...
  13. Thanks for that. I guess I have to make as much...

    Thanks for that. I guess I have to make as much use out of the material as possible. How much does scrap 6061 usually go for by the lb? I assume there's more to just melting it to get it back to...
  14. It's not 25 lbs its 5 x 5 x 5". Not sure the...

    It's not 25 lbs its 5 x 5 x 5". Not sure the weight of that in 6061. Also I have already bought the finished parts from China and have zero complaints so quality should not be taken into...
  15. Price of 6061 aluminum plates for production? Online prices so high?

    I am trying to determine if it is cheaper for me to buy a $30,000 milling machine, 6061 aluminum material, and higher a full time machine operator compared to placing $30,000 stocking orders every...

    I understand all the concerns. I really do have about 500 of these bearings sitting around unsure of any application to fit them on since the hole was made 2mm to big. They might have to go to the...

    The bearing is already pressed into the hub. Is anyone able to build a couple of these on a lathe for me so I can test them first hand? Just name the price.

    sorry yes I meant km/h. so this design won't work with that kind of speed? do i have any other options?
  22. They should support up to 300kmh to be on the...

    They should support up to 300kmh to be on the safe side even though actual use shouldn't be over 200kmh. I am guessing brass or bronze would be the best bet then, anyone know where I can get a couple...

    The hub I am thinking is iron, not sure about the shaft, steel or iron maybe? I am wondering if it is well greesed if it will cause the friction issue.

    The problem is I already have these 500 bearings and they are scrap metal unless I could get them to work on an a 30mm shaft. The sleeve only spans 1 bearing. I am just concerned with quality issues...
  26. Oversized wheel hub, need spacer, will this work?

    I had a bunch of wheel hubs made that have a 32mm inner diameter. They need to fit on a spindle with a 30mm diameter. I was thinking of getting the below picture made to adapt it from 32mm to 30mm...
  27. Can anyone make me this part or know where I can find it? 30mm ID pipe. 2mm wall

    I need a bunch of these made preferably in steel. I have a bunch of wheel bearings that are 32mm ID that need to fit on a hub with a 30mm OD. Does anyone think this is the best way to get them to...

    I am using a fuel pump filter which seems to do the trick in keeping the metal out of the pump. Not worried about the filtration, can add filters if needed.
