Does anyone know the tolerances and finishes required for hydraulic cartridge valve bores? I'm thinking of making my own hydraulic manifold with 3 or 4 - 6 way solenoid operated cartridge valves for...

Case is only the cosmetic wrapper. It's got a metal chassis inside just like most lasers of this type.

Placed my order the second day they offered them for sale. I don't think they will make the December delivery target, they have WAY to many orders. The team that's leading the company is very...

Ray,
You really need to look at the Igus bearings very closely. They have a wide variety of polymer materials and sizes and very good technical information on their website. As was mentioned earlier...

Gerry,
Thanks for the advise, that was not the problem however. I tried two different backup xml files and neither solved the problem. I moved the home flag to a point about 1" inside of the area...

I have a Pulsar Servo machine and was previously homing my machine so that machine zero had the table fully toward the operator (Y) and fully to the left (X); all worked fine. This past...

Very nice Ray. Aren't servos grand for applications like this?

Ray,
Take a hard look at carbide router bits. You might even find them at your local big box store. Spin them as fast as you can. Surface finish should turn out good.

With old motor designs and old VFD's this MIGHT have been a problem. A lot of controversy over that. Modern inverter rated motors and modern VFD's this is not an issue. I design, build and deploy...

Just learning and watching. Waiting for my fourth axis to arrive and waiting to get the latest version of the bob before moving forward. I've got a lot to learn; tooling is eating up my budget and...

Beautiful, what caliber? If I may ask, why titanium?

Novakon,
XML file sent, to get to anything that looks close to 16 rev's I had to change the "steps per" from 8000 to 80 on A axis. Hmmmm.... I'm confused.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi all,
I've been working with my new Pulsar to learn the basics and now I'm ready to try rigid tapping. I've got the bob switch set to tapping on (because I do have A axis capability), rotary table...

Note: that applys to Inventor LE (light), not to full versions of Inventor.

Very nice, what brand is the cart and where did you get it?

Actually I had a couple of delays too. I know they have been very busy and a major ice storm shut the city down for several days. Hang in there, they will get you taken care of. I

I played hooky today from work - too damn cold to go outside anyhow. I actually cut some metal after figuring out the basics in Mach. The only perplexing thing I have left is getting the units...

Oh, I knew this would be a learning curve. But what's life without a challenge. I used to tell on of my old bosses that the quickest way to get a project done was to tell me that I wasn't capable of...

It's actually in the shop in under power now. I spent most of the day moving it here from work and getting it in the shop. I will try to post some pictures of the unloading process tomorrow. I've...

Keith,
Good news. I'm sure that $160 did feel like money well spent. I hope it did not tear up the yard to bad - skid-steers are heavy!

Ray,
I'm not exactly sure how I'll do this yet either. I'm a bit concerned about this too. I will say I've gotten pretty creative in the past in rigging things with the front end loader. Lot's of...

My Pulsar has arrived, sort of. It was delivered to my work address on Thursday. Now I have to work out the logistics of getting it home. I've got a couple of broken ribs right now so moving very...

I wonder if something like this would work with Mach?

I would not substitute compressor oil for air tool oil, different viscosity. Go to Home Depot tomorrow and get the right oil.

What you have are spring clamp terminals, stick a small flat blade screwdriver in the slot near the wire. Press the screwdriver into the terminal block while pulling on the wire. Do the opposite to...

Ray,

I like the fundamental ideas of expandability and keeping the end of the tooling away from coolant. Any updates on your machine enclosures? I've got a Pulsar on the way and would like to be...

Steve,
The $1500 budget wont get you what you want and need for accurate gunsmithing work. You might find a used lathe that would suit your needs for somewhere close to that budget, but you will...

Way to go. I expect mine to ship this week. Mine is equipped similar to yours, but I went all servos. We'll have to compare notes once they arrive.

Word is that it should ship early next week, giving a week or so for it to reach me I should take delivery by 12/11 or so. I'm thinking a long Christmas vacation might be a good time to get...

Pulled trigger this afternoon. Ordered the Pulsar servo with manual draw bar, 4th axis and rotary table, computer, stand and ATC TTS system. Threw in a vise for good measure. I will do my best to...
