First off I'm a foundryman that has to do some drilling on my ductile iron products. I've been making these elevator buckets for years and was drilling them successfully on a Sharnoa mill on a...

hey if you are still in need of sharnoa parts I have the complete control on a skid, all you have to pay is shipping.

That's what I was hoping for. The Sharnoa on the bottom link is the same as I have except the nameplate is CNC Systems. I chose not to reuse the existing servos though.
Thank you

I'm most of the way through the installation of the MPU11 install on a Sharnoa mill thanks to the efforts of Rick at A&D Machinery. All axis are moving, lube pump running, just need spindle and tool...

I have a Sibley C-20 drill press that needs a new feed worm gear. What is left of Sibley retains zero knowledge of the Sibley drill presses so I can't get the gear from them.
I have cast a new...

just give me a heads up when you're planning on being in the area. we pour 6 am to 2:30 M-F so if you wan to see any pouring those are the hours to hit.

I would not design a table with dovetail and t-slots as cast. You want the table top, T slots and dove tails all parallel to each...

long way from Florida, but I just ran that through my costing spread sheet and it would be just under $300.00 at my door. My cost to ship R&L freight is around $155 to Florida.

I would think that a wood pattern would get better dimensional stability. foam will flex and you will need to add machine stock to get it to clean up. Cast the slots solid, add 1/8" minimum to the...

I do not cast aluminum, it seems one can't swing a dead cat without hitting a small aluminum foundry in someone's garage. Tough to compete in that market for a guy who has been in iron 30 years. I...

I cast the tables for Wells Index machines, it weighs in over 400#. The T slots are machined into the iron. The description of draft on the previous reply is spot on.

Do you do this type of work? yes
Roughly how much would this cost to cast? $50, $500, $5000?
depends upon weight cast: if it weighs 100# around $450, 250# around$550 and 400# $890.

Should I...

I'm still around, and there are not many of us left.

I have a small foundry and specialize in short run work. We are in southwest lower Michigan.We cast gray and ductile iron from a few pounds to...

I have a small foundry and specialize in short run work. We are in southwest lower Michigan, 4 hours from Milwaukee. We cast gray and ductile iron from a few pounds to 450#. 269-646-0202 M-F

We specialize in low volume requirements, these are pretty small parts, we could cast from the originals for about $15 each from ductile iron, 60K tensile or 80K.

I do custom iron castings up to 500#. Ductile iron has properties that approach that of cast steel and is lower priced. It can be welded with a nickle based electrode or wire. What kind and size...

An earlier post referenced MIFCO as a source for furnaces, you might also look at Johnson Gas Appliance Company in Iowa. For years they built small gas furnaces for use in school metal shops and...

Steel in the molten state is very hungry for gases; oxygen and nitrogen get sucked up quickly and end up in the casting. There are some alloys added to the molten steel prior to casting to "tie up"...

I could probably make a couple of the ductile iron prototypes from the polymer clay master.

make exactly what you want out of plywood, add a bit to the dimensions to allow for shrinkage and UPS it to me, I'll have you a cast ductile iron part within 4 weeks.

Was your controller working with 98 previously or are you replacing the tape reader?

I've never had any luck with win 98 and my sharnoa. win 95 took a bit of tweaking as it is. don't try to run...

:banana:Well God continues to favor me. I posted an online complaint with BBB and low and behold the company mailed a check for the entire amount. Their response was not accurate, but sent the...

Thanks for your reply

1. The limit for small claims in Michigan is $3000
2. I'll see if I can find the "higher ups". I think that the account executive that I dealt with made a promise that...

I'm addressing this to other small business owners that have faced the need for financing to expand their business. And having learned the hard way, thought that I'd offer up some warnings.

This is the link for wells index http://www.wellsindex.com/.

How about some pictures and complete discription as to how you went about it? What problems did you encounter?

BTW if you do decide to sell the mill, I would contact Rick at Wells Index. He buys back old Index mills and rebuilds them for resale. I bet you would get all your money back and then some. But it...

It is a 1981 Sharnoa controller and the run away is on the z axis both directions to the limits. Could it be a failed encoder not giving position back to the controller? Then the controller would...

Wells Index is still in business in Muskegon, MI. Rick the President would be able to tell you everything about the mill. And I know that you can still get parts for the mill, probably not the...
