The job has been awarded, thanks all who replied.

E mail addy fixed. The "U" on my computer wont work 1/2 of the time.

2.5" OAL CR 1018 steel round, .350" of 1/2-20 threads on one end. I will be screwing a nut onto the threads and welding on to them. Qty 100 per order to start, this will be a regular order. Off the...

The job has been awarded. Thanks for all who responded!

I am in FL.

I have CNC mills, plasma, turning with live tooling and a nice router but no laser.

We have been making these on our CNC plasma cutter but clean up and edge quality are not good enough since it is a small part.

Material: Steel plate (Any, as long as it is clean)
Thickness: 14...

We think we found the issue. There is a small oil bottle for this inside the machine that was empty. We ordered the oil for it and will see if this clears the alarm.

Our three year old Toyoda FV8505 is showing an error message of "Arm Motor Dry Run", error# 1072.
Toyoda no longer has any local support in Florida so we will need to try and fix this ourselves.

Rep here working on machine now.

Post removed for now until we get it worked out with Doosan. It looks like they are trying to do the right thing. We have another similar Doosan horizontal that has run similar parts for nearly three...

Growing firearms company is in need of a top level programmer and set up machinist. We are not looking for someone to set up machines from a set up sheet or parts changer operators.

Must be...

We started with a Haas VF2ss, then got three more, then went to a Doosan 400mm cat40 horizontal, then a Toyoda 400mm horizontal and two Toyoda verticals. We still have all of them and run all but one...

You can use a Haas VF2 with a rotary to make AR lowers in a production environment. That is what I used to get started and it is making billet .308 lowers to this day. I used a wire EDM at first then...

The ability for this machine to run on single or thre phase power limits you to selling it like it came, with no plug. If I used it at my machine shop I would have wired it for 3 phase. Since I am...

It seems that this question has surfaced dozens of times on other forums. I found my answer posted by Jim Colt on weldingweb.

Use the black and white as the hot, green for ground and tape off the...

I got my new cnc plasma system home this week and got it all assembled. I wired the cnc control plug into the plasma cutter per the instructions on the video from Plasma cam. So far so good.

I...

Yes, and they offered to do it. We just want to see if there is any independant people/companies that could give a quote to compare to them.

It looks like we will do the Doosan ourselves and...

We have the fixtures made and tool paths written but are considering hiring an applications engineer to set up the advanced probing and macros needed to run our product on this machine. It will be on...

I used skate bearings press fit into the aluminum frame and they seem to be good. This is the build thread http://www.cnczone.com/forums/diy-cnc_router_table_machines/133810-full_12_x_24_plans.html

Since I make gun parts I figured I would set it up to engrave on the lower receivers that we sell for the AR 15 rifle. I shrunk the eagle to 60% in mach 3 and engraved it .010 deep. 50 ipm and 30k...

Around $400 for the rails and bearing blocks (Automationoverstock.com)

Around $600 for the control set up (Probotix.com)

Probably $200 - $300in aluminum and 1/2 of it came from the scrap yard....

It lives! 15 mm hwin rails on all axis, 1/2 x 10 precision ACME thread rods, mach 3, and a Probotics 3 axis controller with their upgraded large box and larger power supply. I am using a Bosh Roto...

Haas called back. Walked through it. There is sensor on the pocket lift that needs changing.

Debug was the ticket for getting the arm off the z but the sensor wont let the tool pocket up.

They...

Waiting for Haas to call back.......

How do you get into debug mode?

My z axis is down and the tool changer arm is against the covers of the z. It says arm OK when I try and do a recovery, atc forward or reverse does nothing. I cant re home/power up restart the...

I added thrust bearings to each screw in the machine. This supports each screw and keeps loads off the skate bearings in the frame. It is much smoother now. You can turn any screw with one finger....

I considered doing a full receiver from billet or finishing an 80% receiver. I plan to mostly do engraving with it. Our jig side plates are a good candidate.

I dont post much on the gun forums...

Probably around 300 oz/in steppers and Geco drives. I dont think I will get over 60 ipm due to the 1/10 acme screws. I will use ball screws on my next build.

I took the table off the machine today and drilled a 1" x 1" grid of holes in it and tapped them all 1/4" x 20 tpi. This will allow me to bolt a clamp anywhere that one is needed. I am going to make...
