My $.02 - why not just contract with someone here (or local in your area) to make the parts for you? Later on if & when you need more then perhaps you can afford to tool up.

Can I do this with the square end cutter I'm using? Tried it lightly and seems there's a lot of chatter so I stopped.

How many passes would this take to do this on a real vertical mill? And what rpm should I be using?

Anyway, it worked! Took several passes but it came out pretty good. Rpm I used was 700

Figured that but thought if I go easy with it... :rolleyes:

Maybe I would need a tabletop machine - but have to be cheap!

I plan to mill a 1/2" wide by .150" deep slot in some 3/8" 6061 flat stock using a 1/2' diameter, 4 flute HSS cutter. But I only have a drill press to use. I am building a holder (wood) for the...

Need some one to thread one end of 2" acrylic tubing (1/16 wall) - thread 24 tpi x 1/4" length on exterior of tubing. I will supply tubing - one for trial, then more to follow - assorted lengths of...

Guess what??


STILL LOOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COMPLETED

Still looking - can provide pictures and info privately on where I am at with the project - plus see thread under hot wire machines. Sort of got the machine working but have many "bugs" to work out.

Need 2 pcs - 1/8 x 1-1/4 x 24" steel or aluminum flat stock with 18 holes (.135-.140"*) all drilled thru located .20" from one long edge and spaced 1.301" from each other starting 1" from one end.

:rolleyes:

Customers are screaming for product - backlogged months - still looking for help - anyone? :wave:

Still looking. Cutting large volume (several thousand) pieces from 1.5" thick soft polyurethane foam - can provide material for test cutting.

I don't think "crude" is the word and so what if it is?

It's reliable.

It's cheap.

It works.

Just seems like some people here aren't aware of Ohm's law. Also, I shake my head at those...

I still wonder why anyone bothers using things like a variac or other complex circuitry to control the current in NiCr (resistance) wire.

All you need is to add resistance (more NiCr wire) in...

Actually, forget it - it's easier for me to just hire somebody to make parts for me manually, the way I have done for many years, then to build a machine.

Hello - well I've been away from this site for quite a while; busy with many things. Also since I couldn't get any real help here, had kind of given up.

RE: the previous post by brihoo2k - here's...

Try again

I give up - if anyone wants it, I will sell all the equipment (hardware & software, steppers, etc.) I bought for this project for $100.

Here's pictures of some of the stuff - there's more of the...

Well, maybe just post a time and place here with contact info for you and see what happens?

OK, count me in too, however I see nothing here about any meetings.



So what is this - another go nowhere thread?

Wow - a response! Details? Did you bother to look at my lengthy thread under hot wire machine forum????

Look up a local electronics guru? OK, I've checked with several and they don't have a clue....

useless

Still requesting help!

What happened to all those who posted here previously??

Now going on 3-1/2 years since this thread was started!!

There, wow! See how much help you get here.

:rolleyes:

See post #4 (on first page) of this thread.

Look over my posts and posted links. Ridiculously long time here!

:banghead:

So, you're looking too?
