I know this is older but just wanted to add I get 4700 RPM at 120v using a KBLC-225D (pretty sure that's right).

Maybe I missed it but why are you going with the Grizzly stand? Is that from your g0704?
I picked up a used converted PM-30 long table last July and was mostly glad I did, most things were done...
There was an auction last week at their place here in CO. The new owner moved in and was selling all the existing stuff. I would posy a link but it's over and the pages are expired. Look up roller...
Those are the ones that I order. Amazon has them about the same price usually and I can get them in 2 days.
I'm running a Proxxon with side mount as I type and yes, it will drive you mad at times. Like earlier I had my part zeroed and moved the proxxon over to verify.... 0.1 shy of being able to clear my...
I was running .1 WOC with the 1/2" YG1 at .375 and getting chatter and pullout and the motor reached it's limits. I cleaned up the collet which helped a little bit. The solution was replacing the...
YG1 high helix aluminum 2 Fl HSSendmills work great. They suggest 4600 RPM 61 IPM if I recall. I run them like that all day long at .25-.3 DOC and .05-.075 WOC. They are 42 deg helix and sound great....
I don't think it's really clunky as that is how program restart works on the Haas' that I run. Not necessarily to measure tools but I routinely run operations from programs that don't start at the...
Do you write your own code? You could omit the M998 and just use G53 Z0. and M0. Put your height offset in the following line or between the two here and the Z would go home and mandatory stop for...
If mach3 go to the settings tab and change your tool change location to Z0. That will run Z up to machine home.
Mach3 toll change position on my machine is set to -3. in the z. not sure where PP...
I do remember seeing the 1325 now that you mention it.
I also agree the price is a little high. I was looking to sell my series 2 with a little more wear but all the 4th axis and most things...
Pretty sure series 1 went to SN 999 and series 2 to 1999. I would say early series 2. The operators panel looks just like my series 2, I think the series 1 looked a little different.
I bought one and cut and turned it. It was a job on my 13x40 using carbide. After doing it I would just buy one that fit. Like most things here it depends if you are making money with this or not. It...
And if you look a the inspection certificate it calls for .04/100 mm as the tolerance, or just over .0015/4" in the y. The x calls for .03/200 (.0012/8") for any random spot and twice that for the...
Yeah I already knew what my table measured. I bought a used machine and have never been able to get it setup how I would like, or think is more acceptable. With almost .002 in the x I'm still out...
My table drops about .002 across the 18" of travel
I would think a vacuum table/plate would hold your part the most flat. Depending on how many you are looking to do this may or may not be an option. What is the plate thickness?
While not 360 Autodesk Inventor doesn't support 4th axis positioning. Not sure how much the programs are related.
Here are some shots of a recent part that I am working on. You can see the relationship between the WCS and the degree of rotation in the 4th. The blue circles show that. The orange arrows either the...
I'll try and get some screenshots tonight for you. If not you can send the file and I can try to work it out.
I use sprutcam 7 but when I do something like this I select the line and then in the menu window that's open during machining (not the pop out menu) I adjust the a axis to whatever the rotational...
I have had mine with deluxe stand for a few years now and would build one myself. Unless you have had the deluxe, or any other mill/stand, you don't know what you want and don't. I need a full...
What are you running now? More fixtures?
The standard collet will work fine for machining but may very well not be repeatable in z height. I use a standard 3/4 collet right now.
That's always good to hear Steve. I just pocketed some holes and as best I can tell they are within .001. I'd be interested to see what they measure with a 3 point bore gauge though.
Awesome. That is what I expected. I would think the aluminum would last plenty long in a hobby world.
There's an app for that! Meetup is an app where you can find groups to meet with. They have...
Hey MD, did you make the entire vise? Whats is made of?
Things like this are awesome for forums but I can see why these meetups and things are so popular. I would love to sit down local with a...
So I tore my machine to pieces. The spacers look fairly easy for a machinist with some equipment. I don't have to make anything after pulling out the .001 shim and getting a tight fit. The screws...
That is a good method to reduce/eliminate the other variables involved. I haven't locked the y gibs and will try that before I do anything crazy.
I do have access to a whole shop of tools and like...
You have me wondering if we can repack the nuts with slightly larger balls...
I'm fighting .002 lost on the x and y both and tearing into the machine again.
