What is the control pad? Saying lunchbreak.

Glad to see you back.

no it is not an oil. It is actually not a problem for coating or epoxies. It is used in the automotive industry before painting. https://holdtight.com/ check them out. I use their products. There are...

I tend to now use "Wet blasting" and put an additive in the water. Stops flash rust.

Using the linear rails in this manner is "rigid enough? I would think there would be a serious resonance issue.

is that a Phenolic plywood? Just curious.

what does a Haas control system cost?

Kern and others use "synthetic" granite.

When stacking block that do not wring, there is not an insignificant error that can be induced. My mentioning 1-2-3 blocks was that they do not wring, as well as not being "accurate" enough to be...

Not sure about using the 1 2 3 blocks like that. Even with blocks the "wring" you might be asking for trouble. Though you should use what you have to the best of your ability. Good work so far.

Did you not get the memo, everything is Trump's fault...... even personal judgement?

where are the videos. how did I miss them?

I love it. Keep it coming.

yes i have one. it fill a certain niche very well. it is not idiot proof. if you do your part it does its part very well. i have several cnc machines and this fills a hole. i also have a heavily...

there ae a great many. i know that does not help. however i would look in your area and see what is kicking around. it can be shocking what is available on craig's list or on the secondary market....

i would wager the cheapest is starting out with a metal lathe. you can reuse what you have, you will just be staring out soooooo much closer to the end goal. you can get lathes for a couple hundred...

there are many inexpensive import metal lathes at reasonable prices. it would be less expensive in the end, to do a conversion of a small metal lathe than what it would take to go from wood lathe....

you would add hardener to rustolium? what does that do? sorry for being think, my kung fu on paint is weak.

so what are the paint products you are using? I am looking for white paint for machines and am looking for something better than rustolium.

That is why I would like to see how he does it.

I understand what he said in the video. I know I can buy air bearings. My fascination is how he dealt with the unforeseen issues. I know he used purchased air spindles, I get that. He says...

I know I could buy air bearing. Though they are very expensive. I was curious how the man solved the problem. I would like to see how he solved it.

Fair enough, Roger could you post you examples on air bearings?

have you posted the making of air bearings? he said he bought the spindles but made everything else. i would love to see a "building of" on this lathe. the man's insights are breath taking in their...

yes his videos are fantastic. i would love to see how he "made" his air bearings and so on. i a sure it is well thought through.

I would like to build something like this. is there any information out there besides this video? thoughts?

this is a must watch

that is fantastic, i am sure you are right about the state of the art. the lab that i do ME R&D work at has our references scraped, not a whole of scraping by the way. A great of optical test...

actually you do scrape granite. lapping is a way of flattening a surface, however when they come to calibrate and certify the scrape the high points. if you do a search for scraping surface plate...

the depressions are from the scraping prosses. They are usually talkied about terms of points per inch and area of bearing This is not a lack of accuracy, but a means of defining qualifying or...
