Right. he goes on and on prefessing the merits of being able to swap spindles in this little thing then bashes someone that uses a spindle different than his first choice, priceless. Looking forward...

Clearly someone has never heard of the floating drawbar concept, many fine examples have been posted on these forums but when you spent most of your time here argueing about the "climate" you miss...

How can you have a workshop and NOT have a compressor? It's as essential as a drill press and grinder imo or else you are just toying around. For that reason an air cylinder pdb/atc makes perfectly...

Really, then what's the point if the models aren't dimensionally correct, people could look at plain old pictures. I think we'll see what they and the admins think.

So, did you get permission from the makers of the cnc conversion kit and belt drive kit to provide cad models of their products? If not you need to delete them immediately don't you think?

You really are obtuse to the nth degree if you can't fathom retrofitting and feel the need to insult those that do. It may be a shock I'm sure for you to hear that many people LIKE the process....

Incorrect,
R8 = 16 degrees 51 minutes.
CAT, BT, NMTB = 16 degrees 35 minutes 40 seconds
while the difference may seem small, placing a 30 taper tool in an R8 spindle the difference is definitely...

[QUOTE=handlewanker;1683594]
Just a small example of a simple operation requiring at least 4 tool changes........a plate with 4 tapped holes in the corners........this requires 1- centre drilling to...

Noob huh, LOL. I don't think you do. I would use a straight shank drill chuck in the ER32 chuck if you don't like changing out ER collets for drill bits. That would save you Z height vs putting a TTS...

This sure sounds like advocating the use of TTS tooling in ER32 chucks.

Are you saying TTS tooling into an ER32 chuck? What a waste of z travel that will be. You are completely missing the point of TTS in the first place. TTS is used with an R8 or MT3 spindle and a 3/4...

My point was exactly what I said, if you want to take light cuts to learn how to cnc then you can do it with a taig or sx2 much cheaper. seems to be a lot of comprehension problems in this thread.;)

I wasn't talking about you BTW but yes I did and while it is heavier, like I said " if "milling with a shallow cut and more of them to lessen the load on the structure as time is of no importance for...

You guys realize you are arguing with someone who loves to argue, facts don't matter. They can't bother to vet even their own argument let alone the facts you present. The svm-0 is tiny, lets not...

How much friction do you think is involved by the balls touching each other in a ballnut? I say touching because there is little to no linear pressure on the balls in the track, they are not forced...

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I posted documented reasons why Weldon flats exist, if you choose not to listen to them that's your business. If you have setscrew holder tooling I don't see any...

Hmmm, I wonder why it's written right there on their site, maybe it was written by some engineers or machinists in his employ who actually know what they are talking about and the guy in the office...

Here's some more information for your consideration, as per Tormach, "Set Screw holders are our most popular and affordable tool holders. They are commonly used for general milling applications. Set...

Get tools with a Weldon flat if you can, the flat is important for holder rigidity, run-out and gripping force. "Hand ground flats don’t have a precision ground surface and can result in tool...

Yes that's true, there is a reason that they make so many sizes and types of 5C collets as Steve mentioned. http://www.shophardinge.com/productGrid.aspx?catID=6896 there is much more to machining...

Sorry but I disagree.

Bravo brother, everyone is entitled to their opinions but some seem to think THEIRS is the only one that matters and no one should be allowed to disagree. You have done a great job helping to dispel...

I agree, it WAS sold, there are plenty of happy customers using them and you can contact him today to buy a newer machine. Definitely cost more but they are high quality and real unlike a skyfire. at...
