Nothing is immune from pullout. You could weld the tool holder directly to the spindle and it still wouldn't be some magic structure that is immune to failure. Also, with enough caveats added to the...

How about just putting an M4 flathead screw in the probe with some kind of flat disc glued on it?

Or one of these with the head cut flat......

Oh cool, how much are the plans?

Do you have it in-hand yet? Doing a Google image search for that model number there was a photo from slightly above the Taster. It looks like there's a SHCS in the middle of the shank. Perhaps...

HSMWorks (and HSMExpress and the CAM in Fusion 360, I'm sure) does have excellent arraying options. It even lets you order the operations by tool, which is the main feature I wanted when I wrote my...

GenInt, I appreciate the thorough explanations, thanks! I think I'll stick with G52, since it's already working for me, but if I ever start using LinuxCNC (or PathPilot, I guess) I hope I remember...

It seems like having the G52 offsets persistent is a crash waiting to happen. If I set G54 to X1.23 Y3.45 Z5.67, I wouldn't want the G52 offsets I applied to G57 the day before to alter it to X0.23...

This might be a solution...

Biggest problem is that it's...

Just for clarity, was it a 2mm end mill or a 3mm end mill?

I've used a variety of Lakeshore Carbide 0.5" end mills, but I'm not sure sure I've used that exact end mill. I tried a Shars ZrN high helix end mill on a whim one time and haven't looked back. I...

My shipment also came in roughly 2 days. Amazing! (DHL was the shipper)

I find it pretty amazing that they were able to ship something from China to my door in New Mexico faster than Tormach in...

Oops, you're right. I accidentally timed 1.5 tool changes.

Done!? Congrats!

Looks really good and I got ~35 seconds for that toolchange, so maybe ~40 if the tool was in the opposite side of the carousel? Certainly about as fast as someone standing there...

I have a few blocks of a certain size that have gummed up on me and failed each time I tried them. I wonder if it's just that they have a "bad temper". Thanks!

Did you say anything to him when he looked right at you? Did you wave you hand or gesture in any way? Is he a dumb**** because he didn't read your mind? God damn non-telepaths!

"I had a space...

Sounds like a good deal, good luck!

Also, thanks for making the title of this thread actually represent what the thread is about. So often the titles are something like "Have a Q" or "Is this...

Using VB script to wait for an external event and then execute G code

I didn't actually read it, sorry. :/ The title sounds like something that...

Have you put any thought into grinding the spindle yourself? It doesn't look... impossible.

It would probably be a mistake for me to try this, but I...

If the door is easy enough to remove, I think EricJ3D is golden. As long as the Z-axis motor is taller than the required height of the pallet jack, it doesn't sound like it'll even be a challenge,...

I started a thread where I was attempting to reduce my runout by filing down the R8 collet. In that thread I said I was getting about 0.00025" of runout right at the taper....

OK, found the dimensions. I must be blind because I didn't find them the first time I looked.

OK, so the machine is 76-1/4"...

How high is the garage opening? (both without the door removed and with the door removed)

Seems like information like this should be easier to find... I started looking around, and found this...

Sorry, non-Tormach user here, but I'd still like to throw out a couple questions/ideas in an attempt to help. If speculation-based posts annoy anyone, skip this one...

Q: Why do you think it's the...

Oh yeah, you're right.

I'd guess the inaccuracy lies with the calibration of the Haimer. I guess the first question that seems pertinent is: did you calibrate your Haimer? If you didn't calibrate it: it's not likely to be...

Don't worry about me, that video is almost 2 years old. The point is, all three of those cutters had roughly the same stickout and they were all in the same tool holder and used the same collet and...

A few suggestions (I'll number them to make them easier to ridicule :p )

1. Do you know the helix angle of the bit you're using? A higher helix angle may reduce chatter. I accidentally recorded a...

0.3, nice! I too tried the link, but it went to the login page for me too. I don't have an Instagram account for some reason.

I'm guessing this is the video you wanted to share......

That was a very welcome setting change for me as well! I didn't think it would have anything to do with the stalling, but I guess it makes sense.

The braking resistor is a really good upgrade.
