Mine is a conversion but not the IH conversion kit. It's set up for the oiler except for the ports on the ball screw housings but didn't come with all of the plumbing parts.

That is the way oil...

Somewhat OT, but did you get your one shot oiler system with the mill?
Or did you piece it together your self?

I've been trying to get information, and to buy, a one shot oiler system form...

Working just fine as of this moment

Thanks Richard

Are the upper and lower bearings the same? Similar?

I know the upper bearing in mine is noisy, particularly at higher RPM's

Richard,

I'll expose my ignorance here. :o

I have no idea whatever what a "lower AC bearing" is, or what mill it might be useful for?

Thank you Dave. email inbound

Any updates on the availability of this belt drive system?

Thanks

Coincidentally the IH CNC mill that I purchased via this forum came with a VFD motor and VFD that was to be installed.

So, how much would you want for a complete belt drive kit?

So, is this (beyond the cost of the Renishaw) why you never see any ball bar test results for these mills?

Telescoping ballbar systems

I guess that's why all of the mills at school that folks had trashed the key on, were left without it. ;)

I never noticed any difference and at least that way we didn't have trouble getting the...

Unfortunately no PayPal account, just my business VISA card. :(

These are the sorts of things that I don't understand which make me hesitant to leap into the purchase of an IH CNC machine.

Anyway, good luck and I hope that you are able to successfully resolve...

I'd heard something about that and you're right that has to be part of the situation.

I can imagine it being difficult from both a business and emotional standpoint.

No. And I find that truly unfortunate that an American company, that from many accounts provides a good product, would not be more successful and working harder to communicate with their customers.

Any update on your situation with IH?

Were you able to resolve the remaining issues and have a serviceable machine finally?

Might give this a look?

Mill Tips

Now that was funny! :D:D:D

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Thanks for the explanation, that certainly makes sense. I suppose, like everything else, there is no free lunch with this stuff.

I was quite happy to see this and think that I have downloaded the latest version for Ubuntu Linux.

Thus far I an unable to get it do do anything?

I'm wondering if my years of experience with...

Thank you Jeff.

Thank you Jim.

The two ball nut thing was what I was wondering about. My understanding is that to truly get zero backlash with even a ball screw requires the spring loaded two ball nut solution....

Thanks,

THIS ^^^^^^^^^

Well, after having now read both of these threads I'm more bummed out than ever over the apparent situation with IH. :(:(

I suppose if I lived in the area I'd go speak with him personally, but AZ...

This is a very disappointing thread to read. :(

I was (still am actually) quite interested in having an IH CNC machine.
I had visions of buying a turnkey machine with the 4th axis and the...

I enjoy the cooler weather it brings here in AZ, and even the increased snow we've enjoyed the last couple years. :cool:

Seriously, I never thought that Mugabe (Our appeaser in chief) would...
