I have a request for two of these aluminum plates to be made. Let me know how much it would cost a turn around time. Size is 16mm x 160mm x 5mm -thanks

Thanks, this has been finished.

Looking for a good price to make the parts from Hoss's plans for the Y axis thrust bearing block(for the front) and the stepper mount. When quoting this price, could you please price them...

I was just using it on a hole about an 1 in diameter to test it out.

So I just got a tts boring head. I have never used a boring head and I am not a machinist by any means. I understand that with the use of the boring head, as you move the boring bar farther from...

Say there is a part on a fourwheeler that is no longer in production in the US. There is an aftermarket part that a company makes and you want to duplicate it, would you?

I was wondering what peoples thoughts were on reverse engineering something for it to be made locally or cheaper. Does it matter if it comes from a big conglomerate or a small shop? What if the...

The shaft is actually .003 larger than the inside diameter of the the bearing. I took off the bearing and noticed that where the screw was turned down was not flat but more of a taper the last 1/32....

The bearing is actually on there pretty tight. We dont have a lot of machine chops around where I live. I took the work that was done and "assumed" that it was correct. I am guessing I will have...

The ID of the bearing is .39 and the OD of the shaft of the turned down ballscrew is .393

The ends have been machined to put the bearings on the end to but up against the "threads" of the ballscrew

I purchased some new ballscrews from roton and had them machined locally. When I place the AC Bearings the ballscrew threading, it causes the bearing to tilt because of the lack of surface in a spot...

Thanks everyone, they are getting made.

I took some of the drawings in to a local machine shop to be made for a cnc conversion. Three weeks later and I do not have the parts. My machine is torn down for the conversion. Remaining parts...

Being the newbie that I am to milling, i did not think that i would have to make a finishing pass. I did a setup with a finishing pass which made it look all nice and neat. Thanks

It seems as though in either direction, I am not getting the finish on the side that I would anticipate. The side end up not being smooth. It just seems that it is rough on the edges. What causes...

Thanks for the explanation. Makes more sense why it happens

I understand that i can change the direction which becomes a climb cut, but is there a reason why it does this?

When milling a profile, it seems that I am getting the better finish on the wrong side of the cut. If the spindle goes CW and the cut is going CCW, why is it that the outside has a better smoother...

Thanks for the input guys. I have a deburring tool, but wanted a way to do it with the machine. Looks like I will have to give the chamfering a go.

Warning!! Newbie Question.If I cut a part using my bench top mill i get a nice crisp edge to it. This edge can be very painful if slid across a body part. Is there a technique that is used to...

Chris, that is a very nice machine. Is this something that you have designed yourself or are you going from plans? This video alone makes me want to build one versus buying one.
