G59 and wanker, thanks for the info!

This is a typical cut for me on my Bridgeport. I can cut this way until I am about 1.750" deep, then I need to add the 2nd mist nozzle. This is as fast as I ever need....

Interesting opposite experiences we have had. My misters are rather cheap. There are 2 nozzles and I have very little trouble aiming them. And most off all, they make no noise at all. When adjusted...

Ray, any suggestions and where to begin looking? I have not bought any insert tooling in my life. I have made a few attempts to look for something, but there are so many options, brands, inserts etc...

I often machine pockets that are between 3-4 inches deep and sometimes are deeper than they are wide. I don't do a lot of them so I don't waste my time with quick stock removal. For the work I do, I...

To any of you with a Pulsar, can you answer 2 questions for me?

1. Is the 15.75 x 9.50 x 12.25 travel the real travel? On my Torus Pro it's listed as 15 x 24 x 11 but I actually have almost 16 x...

I agree. I stopped with flood coolants many years ago and never looked back. I initially had issues in my VMCs with chip build up. I ended making a separate airline to the cutter to send a higher...

The new shop can wait!! :D

I have been using CAMworks for 12 years. Those trashing it really don't understand it and I find that rather comical. It's like SolidWorks in that it does a million different things. But as we all...

Sorry for the late reply... I have never routed MDF, I have only ever cut it on my CNC's. That being said, It's the worst material in the world for cutting. Not just because of the mess, but because...

That's pretty amazing. I didn't know those kinds of speeds were possible on these machines. Not that I need that, I am not a job shop and typically do only 1 of most of the parts I make. But now and...

I like the use of vertical space! Looking good.

Did you get that with stepper motors? Do you remember what you got from Mach?

Greg

They say good things come in small packages! I can only assume 2 small packages are even better!!

I am stoked for the 9k spindle RPM! For 2 years I was limited to 4,000 rpm on my Bridgeport....

Hi Gerry, thanks for pointing me into what I think is the right direction. I have managed to figure out where the macro is and opened it up in notepad. However, I don't understand what's in there and...

Thanks Lee, I am looking forward to having them. Battle 1 is over, the wife now knows, but I will let you know how things go on fitting it all in! I already have the Torus Pro, a 3,000 lb knee CNC...

Thanks Ian, I will try inserting an M1 and see if that has the effect I need. I can see in the G code displayed which tool number it is asking for. Anyway, I will give the M1 a try a see what...

What goes right: In General Configuration I have "Ignore Tool Change" checked. I run only 1 tool at a time, each tool a different file. This works perfectly.

What goes wrong: When i check "Stop...

Yesterday I ordered 2 Pulsar mills for my business. 1 1/2 years ago I was looking for a CNC to fit into my home garage for a new business I had started. I had a 3 axis knee mill but needed more and...

Ray,

I'm glad the parts made it to you, I will email you later for your correct address.

The board is a cast polyurethane pattern plank. Great for models, patterns and prototype. It's somewhat...

Here are some pics of a project last week that utilized a lot of that travel. However, this part was so big it was made in 2 different pcs and each half had to be machined with 2 different setups....

Update on travels... I was at my machine today and was thinking about the 24.7" X travel I posted that I achieved. And i was thinking it was more than that after I had posted. And indeed it was, my...

Ray,

It's funny you say that. As I was reading the specs last week for the first time I sighed when I came across the T-Slot size. ALL of my tooling is based on 5/8. But nearly everything I make...

Well, It has been waaaay too long since I have updated this thread and given updates on this amazing machine. But truthfully I have been working nearly 80 hours a week paying down debts from going...

Whether I am answering 'looking4help' or anyone else interested in knowing... I have still have my Torus Pro, I use it every single day, and I am hoping to by another Torus Pro within a year. I chose...

I guess I misread a little, When he said "replace" I took it a little too literally.

I also agree with Ray on the time it takes to measure a tool. I also like the manual input because it forces me...

In my humble opinion, there can never be a reason to replace a surface plate and height gauge!! In my 25 years in a machine shop, the one tool I have used most, and every single day is my 24"x36"...

I bought my first Novakon machine about 9 months ago. In my research I came across his site and after reading a few lines I dismissed him as kook. John, I think you should not let it get to you. I...

Well, Once i got my machine running, i was unable to stop because I was too backed with work. The machine is running beautifully, but admittedly, I have not done a lot of different types of things...

Hello all, I joined this forum months ago, but haven't posted, aside from my intro post (http://www.cnczone.com/forums/general-off-topic-discussions/1985-cnc-posts-post1473794.html#post1473794).
