I’m replacing some gears in a Bridgeport Romi Easypath 15” x 40” lathe, and am looking for info on preloading the spindle bearings. Amazingly enough, Romi could get me the gears but not tell me how...

If you look at the Wazer website you can clearly see it is built with standard pressure washer components. The pump, unloader, fittings, and hose all all 4000psi pressure parts. Based on the power...

I did not find the Barton extractor that useful when I tried one. I manage a university build space that includes formula SAE teams and has an Omax 2626. This is the roughly 2’ x 4’ tank and it is...

It was the inhibit invert. I never could find a spec sheet with the suffix these drives had to see what it meant. Apparently the invert was part of the spec. What I didn't think about until doing...

I have acquired 3 25A20 brushed servo drives for a LinuxCNC conversion, but I am not having any luck getting them to work. They appear to be very simple to connect; HV power in, power out to the...

I think I recognize some of these pics. I'm particularly impressed by the welding on the panel support arm! Great project!

I just brought one of these home to my shop as well - also a 1993. I haven't powered it up yet, but will in the next week. So, I'm not going to be far behind you and will probably be coming across...

Here are some pics. The machine seems to have been well taken care of... I was hoping to be able to make it run as Bridgeport had built it long enough to see what state of the art was in the mid...

I seem to be going in circles trying to plan out a retrofit to my recently acquired Boss 10 series 1. I bought the machine as non-running with a large hole burned through the SAF board where the AC...

I've found a Bridgeport cnc mill that I'm buying to convert over to a modern PC control, probably Mach. However, I think I'd like to try and get it running with the original controller first, just...

I have an entire D11 control system for sale if you need any spares. It worked when I got it, but I switched it over to Mach control. I used some program I found online to upload files to it - been...

Tubular Fabrication, LLC is in the southeast...

(ok, so that's me, actually)

If it were me I'd stick with the easy to obtain 6061 and simply spot anneal the area you want to bend if it won't do...

I still have the parts - just haven been on here in forever.

I acquired a small tumbler used at automotive machine shops for basically nothing on Craigslist a few months ago. It has a small rectangular basket (about 16" x 16" x 6") made up of perforated steel...

You're going to run a plasma in a finished room inside your house?? Have you seen the mess a plasma makes before? Are you currently married?

A long delay the first time you turn a plasma cutter on is how they are supposed to work. Most of them have a long initial delay to purge the lines, etc before they will turn the arc on. Then they...

If you're running Mach you might also want to verify in the settings window that your machine is set for time units of seconds. The other option is milliseconds, which makes .4 basically nothing. I...

Still have it - what are you in need of?

Winegar - where did you order your V rail from? How expensive was it?

I've used anti-spatter spray from aerosol cans in the past for welding, but could not stand either the smell or the sticky mess it left behind. The ones I used smelled something like rancid fried...

I'm disappointed that you got rid of that old THC sensing rig! That thing was hysterical to watch in the video! I didn't realize anything like that was produced...

I'm currently updating a 5' x...

Based on how great Jim says the consummable life is I doubt ya'll will need any spares!

(Just kidding - it's jealousy rearing its ugly head...)

I took a fully functional Hybrid D11 (aka Picopath) system off my Advance Cutting Systems (Koike built) plasma table to go to Mach3 control. Controller, amplifier/driver box, and servo motors with...

While on the subject, does anyone know of a good explanation of what needs to be done in Inkscape to get to a usable SVG file? I have not used CorelDraw since version 2.0 in high school - which I...

Here are some videos of the problem. I had the acceleration maxxed out for these - .17g's, and was just bumping the jog button. The first is the worst case scenario - the carriage at the non-driven...

I'm faced with a lot of options on this one, and simply trying to decide which route to go. Here's the problem and what I have to work with:

It's a 90's model 5' x 10' industrial duty plasma...

I recently received my DTHC kit from Candcnc, and need to update the torch mount to implement it. It appears to me that most people utilize two sets of slides to accomplish this, but that seems like...

Just seeing if I figured out how to embed one of the videos above...



Well, that didn't seem to work either, and it was taken straight from another post on here that showed a youtube video...

Yes, I was talking about G4. You know, I've looked through that screen a dozen times for that setting and never saw it. I guess I was expecting it to be a box with options for the units. I guess...

I'm wondering where you can set the time units in Mach3. I find it odd that Lazycam, Sheetcam, and a few others generate code based on Seconds and yet Mach seems to want pauses in milliseconds. ...
