Sounds familiar to what I have in my cabinet. What are you using for home/limit switches now?

Had the same issue with the Tverter on my mill a few years ago, Tommy sent me a new one and been running fine since. The VFD would still work manually so wasn't dead in the water while I was waiting...

Would you be able to verify the sides of the dovetail are parallel to each other and not tapered. Thats what I would be looking at first. I'm thinking you would need 2 short sections of ground...

I had a similar issue caused by the cooling fan in my Powermax 1000, unplugged the fan and no more problems. Was something to do with the fan kicking in, it is only supposed to run if the machine...

Good info guys, thanks!

This is contrary to what I was told when I bought my turn key mill. Was told I could tap by using the quill and switching direction with the switch, ( OK to do as long as...

Hey

Here you go, I believe we have similar motors, ( 3Hp 3Ph ), from the top: Red, Black, White.

Get making parts!

Hi Lee

I think the best you could do with a micrometer is get a rough guesstamate of the rings roundness, ( max. - min. dia. )/2. This sort of thing is what CMM's are great at by the way.

From...

Slammed,

PM me if you have any specific questions regarding Torchmate VS Dynatorch tables, ( I have owned both ).

Hello Magma

I am envious, so many new features your going too have.

Curious if your going to see much improvement going to the 24 pitch rack and adding the air cylinder tensioners.

Will be...

Screw wipers, thats good to know.

Ray, I'm not too comfortable with it being open. Been keeping lots of lube on the screws with the one-shot oiler thinking it will keep the crud from working...

Hi guys

Well this stuff isn't as pretty or shiny as the nice parts Rich posted but thought I'd share anyways.

The part is a 9" X 9" box 4" tall, There is a lip of 1/2" bar welded to it. Rings...

Larry

You are right to be concerned. I have put together a torchmate, could never get it as tight as I would have wanted. If you do buy I would highly recomend incorporating a spring or air...

Got the problem solved.

Purchased a Bison tailstock chuck. Was able to get a real nice finish, a little chatter but can live with it. going to saw off the unturned portion, then weld on my end...

Tail end is supported by dead center, and steady rest on the 3/4" bar. The more I think about it, I want to try turning the pipe before the end plates/shaft gets welded on. Actually,...

Been pondering lot of different ways to make these.

Don't currently have a live center. Will be getting one soon though. Was also looking at those tailstock chucks Bison Makes. Would allow me...

Lew, thanks for the quick reply.

HSS, Hmmmm. I have some blanks, will give it a try. By top rake, do you mean positive rake on the top of the cutter?

The lathe I got, well not the most rigid...

Hello all

Real stumped with this one. I have a part that is ringing like a bell and chatters like you wouldn't believe when I try to turn the O.D.

First I'll admit I don't do a whole lot of...

Sorry guys, was B.S.'N about the algae. The green is from a half dozen jugs of antifreeze. Keeps things liquid to about -10 C. Controls corrosion to.

A few picture for you guys. Grids similar to what you might see on a some laser tables, I guess they don't like fishing for fallen parts either. As you can see the grids are easy removable and most...

Thought I'd share my experiences with supporting the material.

I went and built a bunch of 16 " square grids for my water table. Top has a saw tooth profile made up of a series of 3" wide slats...

Cool stuff,

Never tried routering with my table, only 2-D stuff up untill now.

I should be taking delivery of an Industrial Hobbies mill later this spring. Will be setting it up to cut dies...

Hi Gerald

What you building or built?

Edd, I know a bit about CNC Plasma, had Torchmate table, converted it over to servo's from Dynatorch. Let me know if I can help you out with your build.
...

Total Fab, could we have a few more details regarding the machine settings your using, IPM ,acceleration, etc. Also what units are your parts in, inches or mm?

I have a machine I converted over...

I too have only 100 AMP service to my house.

Have a Powermax 1000 & 5 Hp Compressor for cutting.

I installed a seperate sub panel in the garage tying into the house panel. This works fine for...

Well I,m up & running now with my cutting table.

I'ts not one of the complete systems though, what I have is a retrofit done to my old table.

Been having lots of fun cutting out die plates...

Not 100% sure on this but one would think the oxygen content of compresed air would help cutting mild steel. Pure nitrogen would mean you lose the benifit of the added exothermic reaction between...

Well I 've got a proper diagnosis now.

Seems the plasma cutters fine. I've narrowed the problem to the CNC control not closing the start circuit to activate the torch.

Thanks Weldtutor for...

Thanks Weldtutor

I'm going to give that a try.

Hello all

Something stange hapened today, went out to the shop to do some cutting but my machine torch wont fire. Has been working flawlesly for a couple of years so is not related to some sort of...

Hope some one can explain.
