How are things working out after these retrofits? We have 2 QT-10's and one of them has the same intermittent problem they all seem to have.

Jason, You'll have to change your avatar on PM now!

John, you mentioned your son has a machine shop business, is it local?

Hi John,

We have met a few times, but not for a few years. My name is Steve Adams and I run Reliance Machine Works south of Milton. We make chassis components.(and other industrial work) I used...

John, did you keep the car, or just the roof as a souvineer? Do you still get out to visit Flamboro? I helped Pete build that car, a long, long time ago!

I picked up an older J&L PC-14 comparator and it has a bit of a double shadow. I'm not sure what I should be adjusting to get rid of this. Anyone know?

Warehoused plastics got bought by piedmont and closed down last winter. Mcmaster got thier hand slapped a few years ago by homeland security for selling to countries that may pose a security risk....

I am having trouble with I think control definition setting in X2. We installed on a different computer and when I try to run new programs on our VM-1 the 1/2" end mill makes a big arc when the...

We have had the spindle drive belt slip and screw up the spindle orient. Easy fix.

Sandvik makes hardcut drills for the job.Clamp the part rigidly in the mill and hold the drill in a collet. for a 5/32" drill I run about 1500 rpm and clear chips (and cool the drill) with an air...

We got a VM1 in january with Mastercam. very happy so far.

I made some years ago. I ground a form cutter to do it and did them in a bridgeport on an arbor and put the cutter on an arbor.

Where in Halton do you "tool"?

Thanks for the files.

The guy was tied up yesterday so he couldn't make it but should be here today.

I have no backup files of any type for this machine.

OK, after spending most of the weekend researching this thing I haven't gotten far. I spent several hours reading all of the EZ traz threads. There is over 700 bridgeport threads in this section.

My success has come from establishing solid relationships with my customers. Everyone I deal with are repeats, and I built them one at a time over years. Now when a customer calls and wants a price...

I have taken care of the motor rewire and MOL change, as well as changing the taps on the transformer. The ribbon cable to the floppyy drive is probably in backwards since it is to short and every...

I have checked out the hard drive and it is fine. The motherboard fan comes on, the red and green LED's on the amplifiers are on, and the LED on the floppy drive comes on and stays on. The LED on the...

I just ended up with a manual for a Sereis I DX. I have an SX II. What are the differnces in the machines and controls, And will this manual help me?

Unless the W.A.T.E.R. was processed into one of these many potential compounds like beer. Immersing my head in that for three minutes only renders me unconcious.

My smilies aren't working.

Immersing your head in anything for 3 minutes could prove fatal.

Chip evacuation will be your biggest problem, followed by peventing a built up edge on the cutter. Use fluid with as much lubricity as possible. Copper conducts heat well so heat will be less of a...

Not yet. haven't had a chance to work on it for a couple days

This was quite a while ago but our HL-20 crashed hard while in the middle of a proven job. I was running the machine so it's not like operator error or anything.

Now that this thing is hooked up, I can't get the thing to run. Machine manuals.net has a manual, but I don't know yet what it consists of. And I'm not sure which control it is I'm not an...

I have finally got this SXII in my posession. we are in the process of hooking it up and there is a air line that runs to the bottom of the knee that isn't attached to anything. The previous owner...
