Dragging this thread back to the original Question. It is my stong conviction here in the UK that it has been the INTENT by people in high places to do their best to destroy the UK manufacturing...

Nice Mike, Nice.. now keep going.. I'm still keeping tabs on this



what is that spindle mike? - I blame that piece of water that just gets in the way - this side we just seem to be up for...

Cheers guys, thanks for those piccys Geof on that other thread, food for thought.

Hi folks, how many of you are fed up lugging vices and other lumps of cast Iron on and off your machines, I've done this for ten years at the same place of work and I'm getting a little peeved and...

Nice Matth ! I'm reeeaaalllly slowly making a router kinda simular size.. 5 plus years on family life keeps intruding !! I'm from Dorset - Hi

Have a look at page 36 (or 4-10) of that excellent mach 3 documentation

downloadable from http://www.machsupport.com/documentation/

you want the 'using mach 3 mill' one :idea: but I reckons you...

I'll second that about the soap, we used to use the citrus stuff with the little granules/bits in, which did a great job of shifting the grime but pretty definatly gave some of us cracked knuckles...

Sorry dh not to get back to you, interesting parts you're making, it seems that cutter deflection may be one of your probs?, hard to see quite tho, so go with that short cutter if you can, bigger...

Can you give any more details as to what kind of finish you are getting?
You might want to reduce the cutting speed if possible if you are getting burning/whitish marks, maybe drop down to two...

Thanks a lot for that Al, will try.

Pardon the Q but whats the basic difference in 'full handshake' and 'null modem'

I just want the link for file transfer - is one for 'drip-feeding' ?

I'll...

I've just tried this config today but no joy, I don't think pin 1 is wired inside the Mill, can anyone point me in the right direction :(

Can someone please confirm the pin-outs for a cable connecting the Bridgeport EZtrak DX II (25 way D-type) to a PC serial port 9 pin D

I have been told to wire as follows but I'm a little...

It would pay if you can find a friend or some one who machines plastics esp Acetal as they will probably chuck out some nice scrap chunks that can be made into drive nuts and bearings. my company I...

not that impresive !! I'm stuck on a bridgeport which will only give me 3750 rpm max. nice sharp cutter maybe even a single flute, sensible feed, it must be the way the chips curl it's real nice to...

I'm still 'playing with the idea' of using Delrin bearings, I'm torn between skate bearings and Delrin, lucky for me there is stacks of spare Delrin Blocks at work that I'm allowed to use, I've got 1...

go, go, go rrrrrriiippppp into that Delrin - loverly stuff to fire into - 'scuse me :devious: nearly therapeutic

hey, we touch it on the grinding wheel by hand ;) - esp if we're talking plastics we often 'grind-out' lots of the 'teggies' to give us nice chip clearence or theres the slitters with inserts...
...

use two drive screws instead of one (Ok I'm talking Acme ones) - end of prob, at a price!

Niiiice !! going to follow with interest - I've just m/c'd a Beam/plate for my m/c that will use two 20mm silver steel dia bars top n bottom, I'll have channel section on the back of a 10mm 1.3m long...

I think it's perhaps the 'way-to-go' easy to m/c particularly if the peg shape can be altered - you may be right - whey they'll all want rhomboid pins :) - why :cool: cool design feature man...LOL...

Thanks for the 'welcome' Kentro, I'd not read all the thread and am hence not too sure of your needs/interest/requirements.

my company does sub-con manufacture for TMC ltd here in UK, I don't have...

I think you're meaning as my sketch below - very simple to make, haveing sketched it I realised the radial slots should have been drawn parallel not angular as below. (as Geof says above)

would...

we make a venturi thats used for 'fish tank' filters at my work it a whopper some 2" Dia manually turned from two parts - large 'spade' type drills are used to form large internal tapers- you...

Thanks Carlo :cheers: Thats great... its all good info that we can pick up ideas from, I'm not sure how those augers work quite, I'll look into them if I get to it.. yes precise feed - name of the...

thanks John, I remember glueing my laminate flooring with the 'blue stuff' thought I'd try and up-grade the glue to give better water resistance - oh boy I struggled to glue em together!! thanks re...

Broaching does work for plastic's particularly types like Delrin (Acetal) it broaches with a simple tool - would post details if you need piccys - I suggest you start a thread somewhere, However...

just found this on auger pumps - all a bit OTT (over the top) for my application but interesting for those following this - they reverse the auger slightly to stop/relieve pressure at the nozzle!
...

Cbass , thanks I would have to study those Augers to understand the mechanism better, I'd prefer to make my own pump cos of cost.

the Idea I've been toying with is along the lines of what they...
