Sorry for the late reply. I must have missed the notification that someone replied to my post. I don’t have my Fadal anymore but I’m pretty sure one canister should be empty. It is used as a place...
You ever get this set up?
Hello,
I have an old HPI Pioneer milling chuck that I inherited when I got my machine. The issue is I cannot twist the chuck to release the collet. I'm trying to rebuild and lubricate the roller...
I’m certain that all walls around the machine have to be “crash barriers” even if it’s transparent.

Yea that’s why, if it were the route I was taking, what have used the *laminated* tempered glass rather than just standard tempered glass.

What do you think about tempered and laminated glass?

Yea. Couldn’t have been more force than an average guy’s punch.

So upon getting my over-the-garage door storage built in my garage, one of the support beams had a meeting with the front window of my VMC40. Didn’t seem like it took much to shatter it so it is...
Soooooo. I still haven't gotten replacement wipers installed on the machine. I bought a number of things from McMaster and was not able to find a similar material to the strips that I removed from...
Unfortunately the owner died. The gentleman handling the estate doesn’t know much about the machine and is not a machinist. I’m just concerned about getting the tool holders out the tool changer as...
So went to buy tool holders from a guy that has them all loaded in this Milacron. The issue is we can’t get the machine to fully power up so we can jog the tool changer to unload the holders. We...
Hey Ianagos
Well I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I would rather have the tenths indicator for accuracy's sake. I don't want to guess if the hand is at .0002" or .0004". I guess the silver lining is...
I know people may say to “use the search feature” but I had a quick question. I’m trying to complete the setup for my VMC 40 and was wondering what resolution DTI you guys used to set your machines...

I’m no engineer or CNC installer but I know there are plenty of people with 8K lb machines on residential slabs. I have a VMC 40 (older sibling of the 2216) in my garage with a vehicle that parks in...
After about 15 minutes of scraping and vacuuming the built up chips under the Y-axis way cover, I was able to separate the two pieces. There was a metric ton of chips built up underneath the cover.
...
Here is a pic of my setup. Excuse the mess. From the pump, it goes through a filter and gets tee’d off. If I want to run flood coolant or the washdown hose, I close one valve and open the other. I’m...
So I’m assuming the rear of the machine initially has to be risen up equally as much as the front is on the round bar stock. Otherwise I don’t see how this would work (for leveling front to rear that...
Why not just buy some perforated grating and cut those pieces out? That is all it is, nothing special.
As far as washdown, I just plumbed the coolant pump to my filter system and tee’d a separate...
Do you have a trick to removing the lower portion without bending the upper cover? I removed both of the way covers at one piece and it didn't look like the readily separate without bending the upper...
Hi Fadal Owners,
My VMC 40 does not have a wiper for the Y axis way cover. This leads to chips falling on the lower cover, building up and falling on the ways. I am considering putting a way cover...
Ok. Will do. I should probably use a jam nut as well to help prevent the leveling screws from backing out, correct? Here is a pic of the leveling screws for the Fadal. Kind of primitive. ...
I've got two bars of the cold rolled steel under the machine right now. They are as long as the machine's casting 18-24" or so, 1" thick and 2.5" wide. The machine is about 8400lbs. The leveling...
Hi
Got a problem. I was using the 2216 workout program to finally get a program running on my "new to me" VMC 40. The issue: when the table reaches the left or right side forward most point of...
Ok. So here is what I got:
The 3144 did indeed replace the 2713. Looking over the old manual and parts list for the 2713, a lot of the parts are interchangeable with the newer lubricator. Here are...
I'm still waiting to hear back from Bijur
Update: Now that it has been rather warm, the mister seems to be working fine. I guess it is sensitive to low temperatures. However, I still want to refurbish it.
Ok. Upon further research, I have a Model D2713. The latest Mist Lubricator model is the D3144(-2).
Hi peeps,
So I haven't run the VMC 40 in a while (2-3 months) and I went to the garage this weekend to change out the coolant and run the axis and spindle to relubricate the ways and bearings. The...
