Honestly, I use both, same thing. One thing though, the tool you have pictured is for holding a tool axially in the turret. Usually that is for face grooving or just plain old facing in general. This...

Maritool is amazing stuff.
That was so long ago. I don't even know who that person is anymore. I bet I wouldn't even recognize him if he was in front of me in line at the grocery store. If I did, I tell him those tatoos he...
Somehow I knew those jaws were going to be off. The price is too good to be true. H and R gets almost twice what usst is charging, might check them out.
I don't mean to hijack your thread, and this is off topic, but am I to understand a spindle motor is just a regular 3 phase motor? How is it possible to run it at 12k rpm? If you look at the picture,...

As someone who has a motorcycle as their sole source of transportation, it's statements like that that disturb me. It's also why I keep a pocket...
Wow. You are like the king of run-on sentences, poor grammar, misused words, and bad spelling. This is copied and pasted from your post below:
the support was fine on the machine for awhile but...
I noticed that as well. Unscrupulous! Thoroughly unscrupulous!
We think ours fell off the truck a few times between Wisconsin and Miami. Which model did you get? I have "Modified" ours quite a bit by removing all the guarding that makes it impossible to load...
This has been almost beat to death, but one more time couldn't hurt. PLR electronics makes the one that I have been using for over a year. It's $275. I know that seems high, but there is NO...
Is that something that needs to be fixed, or is it working properly? Thanks.
Does anyone else get this anoying high pitch harmonic noise from the hydraulic system on their lathe? It sounds just like the old emergency brodcast system test. The one that goes,...
I'd be all over stepped jaws as I have plenty of brand new soft jaws here, but I'd like to bar feed the stock. US shop tools has hard jaws for $300. Anyone used them? Seems too cheap. The jaws were...
Well, I was roughing out 2" od 4140ht at 500 sfm, .02 ipr and .15 radial D.O.C. and by the time I was done with the 4th pass the stock had been pushed back about .125". I am using bored jaws, G50 at...
It is a big chunk, but I always feel like the software pays for itself much faster than anything else. There are whole jobs I've done on the lathe that simply could not be programmed by hand. Like 3d...
MTM= multi task machine
Yes i ment ten thousand. Start checking option boxes and that price goes way up. Rotary mill, bar feeder, mill-turn, parts catcher, sub spindle, second tool group...
If that has more than one spindle you'll need an mtm post. I coughed up close to 10 for mine. Good luck.
Ken, was that a widget or an actual part for something? Nice demo!
+1 on HSM
When I got the volumill module for GibbsCam I noticed the tool path output was a ton of small arc segments. As a result, the machine was real jerky and I didn't get to fully see the...
I wonder if he got that machine.
Well I'm calling it a day. Been here since 8 this morning. I netted close to two grand today because of my crappy Haas machines. How much money did you make today?
People buy those? I thought those were gag gifts you get a machinist for christmas. You know like 6 packages of giant tighty whiteys. The underwear will probably do a better job of machining though.
..."early morning posts"... Thats's funny, I did'nt even catch that. I was pretty hammerd last night, but I do seem to remember my stupid phone telling me I had a new email. Thanks jreillycnc1, that...
I wonder if he got that machine.
My department which includes me, myself and I, are supported by two haas machines running 7 days a week. I fact both are running right now. The lathe is the dual spindle tl-15 with live tooling. I...
Folk hero? The only time I heard Gene referd to as a folk hero was in an article that gave a timeline of the events leading up to when he gave Hurco the big Fluck You. Maybe this guy is a pissed of...
I had the Haas lathe brochure as toilet reading for like a year. I remember a torque and power curve for like all the spindles. In fact they gave specs on everything.
Wow, and I got called a haas basher for suggesting a better way to order parts...
My mill is a 2008. It has no door locks. I was just comenting on what he said about workpieces hanging out of the machine. You are right though, there is a way to get past them, just unbolt them and...
+1!!!!!
I cut windows in the sides of my minimill 2 for doing the same thing. The longest part I've done so far is 10 ft!
