    Re: Tosa Tooling Plate

    I highly doubt there would be any flex as long as it's supported well. But I really don't think mounting it on risers would be a good idea. one of the beauties of the plate is that it has alignment...

  9. Re: Duality Lathe with 4th Axis vs 4th rotary table

    Would the Morse Taper be in the base plate since the table has a thru hole? Since the taper is what aligns the 5C with the table, or would it have to be indicated in every time?
  10. Re: Duality Lathe with 4th Axis vs 4th rotary table

    I would imagine that the 5C collect system works fine with the super spacer tables , correct?

  14. Re: Duality Lathe with 4th Axis vs 4th rotary table

    I see, thanks for the enlightenment. How about the tilting rotary tables that Tormach sells, any drawbacks to those? and how do those compare to the super spacer ones that they sell?
