they don't usually chip or break on through holes and the material your looking to cut is pretty soft . The retract speed really doesn't matter that much but I'd keep the retract height to a minimum...
interesting . .
ups and all those carriers charge the broker fee here which is merely them filling out the customs declaration forms for the goods being imported so they can be taxed . Through the ...
Curious , in NZ do you pay brokerage fee when shipping in through ups , fedex etc ? I've seen me pay $50 brokerage to bring in a $40 item plus the tax(gst) . Ups tend to charge the highest broker...
similar boat here in Canada when it comes to customs . I've had numerous sellers send products reduced as gifts . Under those circumstances customs always asked what I've purchased and they wanted...
Correct , if a chip falls to the bottom of the hole then there is a very high chance of destroying your carbide bit . hss and cobalt drills are much more forgiving . If they are well designed bits...
materials from a reputable supplier cost the same when buying a hundred feet or a few thousand feet . If your buying direct from a mill then the price will be reduced with the more you buy to a...
funny how some adjustments can make a mill feel like new again . A couple mills have started to produce a bit rougher finish than they should across the y
. Tonite i finally took off the covers...
most of the big brands sell indexable drills . Look for someone local or online who sells kennametal , ingersol , seco , sandvic etc
they used to sell the tl1 with a manual tool changer not sure about the tl2 . If the did or do then it shouldn't be hard to modify
I used a tl1 a lot for prototyping and small runs and the 4...
most of those spamming companies come and go and never last . I remember how relentless hau mau was and where are they now
improper speeds and feeds can cause tool breakage but it's not a cure if the tool paths are poor . Are the lead ins plunge , ramped or helical ? Center cutting tools are great but they are still...
if drilling is the only thing it will do in it's life then I'd probably modify a large drillpress and go with a concept similar to how a hydmech bandsaw works . Except , I'd use a couple pneumatic...
I'm guessing if the holders look like that then the spindle taper must be a mess . On the holders I'd just clean them up with a fine scotchbrite pad and wd40 . For cat 40 and 50 spindles my preferred...
best to get a coolant that has good corrosion protection . A lot of the synthetics cimperial makes are great for protecting the machines
your right , it's the dm860e i was thinking about .
Maybe the kids could do a weekend bottle drive / fundraiser for the shop ? I'm sure a lot of locals would be more than happy to support them
...
the MA860 seems to be the best within a reasonable price . Leadshine replaced that drive with the MA860E if I recall correctly . Stepper online carries 860 drivers which are basically the same . The...
if g54x0 is 50" from absolute zero position (home) then g52 x10 followed by g0 x0 should show 60 on the display after the x10 move
It worked fine for me migrating from xp to 7 . it's all the same folder and installed components no matter the windows system , there is no reason for it not to work . You'd just need to install...
I always copied the whole mach folder from the old computer , installed mach on the new computer then copy pasted and overwrote the newly installed mach folder in C: .
I've left them for hours while trying to find a solution online .
i think the only way to completely resolve this is to disable pathpilot from booting , shut down any splash screens and boot...
I'm out in the country and the weather has been a bit haywire over the past couple weeks which has knocked out our power out quite a few times .
I can understand problems caused by not powering a...
I would really like to see a fix or reason why pathpilot randomly won't boot past the splash screen . I rarely shut down the machines because I don't trust they will boot up again , it's happened way...
The xml may have become corrupted , it happens sometimes . Have you tried pulling one from the backup folder ?
you can easily move the limit switch , but as stated any mods will void warranty if you were to inform tormach that you made the change . Just never tell them or have them move it at the factory . I...
The kb boards are pretty basic and are controllable with a potentiometer for speed . If you buy a board which has the addon board then it'll be built in . I cooked the motor on my emco compact which...
judging by the adjusting plate for the pulleys I'm guessing emco had a hand in that lathe ? If thats the case then it may broaden part searches and you may be able to find a replacement control for...
specs on the 770 is a height of roughly 7.5ft . my 440's are mounted on g0704 bases and I can look straight ahead over the mills and see the wall . I'm guessing the tormach base isn't going to be...
thanks good to hear . I really like the hocut but the supply and price here is less than impressive
It looks like a supplier here in Canada has the mb50 which shows a lead time of 1-1.5 weeks , so...
Anyone here using Hysol MB 50 . Due to supply issues and pricing I'm looking at alternatives to the hocut 795b I've been using .
I dealt with a number of staining issues on my aluminum parts in...
