Not really resolved, just not enough time of late to really dig in. I took apart the ways and re-tightened them, again as tightly as I could. Still having issues. I was tossing around the idea of...

Hey all-
I have a 1908's vintage Enco 111-3100 lathe. was drilling out some aluminum with a 1in drill, and the stops in the barrel at the end of the MT3 taper made a crunching noise and the drill...

Well, I ordered some new ballnuts, and its confirmed its 5x20mm, not the original imperial size I thought. Looking at the screw, it looks in good shape. I bought the mill in 2012 and its seen light...
Hi all-
I bought a COA mill in 2012 and have used it for light stuff here and there, and recently have started working with a partner making (a little) money with it. The problem is, i seem to...
Wow, really? Awesome! How much would shipping be to 320 Tee Lane, Carpentersville, IL 60110?

if its in good condition, yes I am. Do you have one for sale?
Hi Tom-
Thanks. What about going the way of the BladeRunner? I've seen your company's website, and it looks plausible, but I'm still worried about all the difficulty of the interfacing... Is the...
Hey all-
I've been giving very serious consideration to buying a cnc plasma for a few weeks. I started building one a while back, but got pulled off due to life crap, but even when I was building...
Hi all-
I'm considering building my own CNC plasma cutter, and I have seen alot of designs out there around various aspects of design. First, about me: I'm a garage tinkerer/small manufacturer, I...
Hi all-
The local community college where I lurk had what looked like a high speed engraving benchtop mill at one time, and when I came back from last year's break, the school had scrapped it. The...
Yep, thanks 3dMatt, that was it. I adjusted my frequency from 1K to 500, and no problems since. I wonder though, does this potentially affect surface finish quality? Are there any other implications...
I checked it, and it is registered. This is the error I've gotten:
266286
The error came up a few times now. The first time was when I had 2 of the 5 pockets in a single program. It popped up...
Woo hoo! Machining bliss is almost mine... Think I found my problem... On the advice of Bob (thank you!),after scrutinizing the code, I found I did have a g92 and g91 in there after the safety block...

Hey all-
I recently bought a Charter Oak Automation 3 axis mill, and have been stymied with trying to get a program to run. I use MasterCamX (3 axis Haas post processor) to cad and cad my parts,...
Make it 4. I'm still interested. Just didn't post for a while due to apparent lack of interest. Pumping Station One is a general hackerspace, as I understand it, and work on everything. To us...
Hi-
I went and bought this book a few weeks ago and have been looking it over since then. Though the plans look simple, there are some part of them that look like they need a once-over to really...
First, are you planning on making any more of these? If not, could you put up some plans for them along with the electronics so we might make our own? There was something to this affect a while back...
Hi all-
I just got my hands on a Schumatec 550 (Christmas project?) for my minimill, and I was thinking, I would like to have all 5 axes of the mill available to me to see when the mill is done....
Another cheapie idea for controlling steel filings in the coolant is to put a small rare earth magnet or two in a ziplock bag inside the filter media somewhere. Any steel coming down from the...
Hey dad, are we there yet?
Any progress on the production of this as yet? Jus' wonderin'...

Actually, it is possible to do what you are talking about, but the Joezx10 was right, imo... It will be a little flexible if you just drill a hole and bolt it directly to the bed.
However....
...
Hey Blades-
Did you have a print of where the holes need to be drilled in the end of the lathe bed to line up the screw where you have it? I was working on making the same setup as yours, but had...
If you haven't taken a look at Hoss' site, you should (hossmachine.info). He has made some improvements to his X2 that wouls allow for 5 axis capability. I'm in the process of doing the same thing...

Awesome! More power = better...

Hey Pete-
Not a problem. There is a little counterblast from some people here because, like in almost any forum of any kind, there are trolls who come on and antagonize-because they can- and...
Hey Pete-
Like most hobbies, machine building can get out of hand. I have no specific timeline (or a real defined budget, for that matter) for this project, I just enjoy doing it. When I see an...
Thanks Hoss-
I'd like to part with my x2 base, but alas, I still need it to cut a few things out. Maybe when I get the saddle, X and Z axes (once I can find someone selling a chunk of steel the...
Hey all-
I've been working on a new base for my X2 mill, and after getting it done, have decided I want to go a lot further and make a new saddle and X axis table for it. The base was made by...
