.199 (#8) drill, I most always use cut taps. The reason behind using .199 all the time is I scored quite the stash of drills .031 to .250 on E-bay in it's infancy. In that .196-.203 range there was a lot of .199. I stopped checking if my ban was lifted, gave up after it approached a month. I...
I am guessing you don't have any way to rig up a support? Just slow down the RPMS the last .100 or so and kick up the feed.. You should be able to figure out the sweet spot where they snap and drop from their own weight and keep the cycle time close to keeping the same RPM all the way down
You call cutting stock on a horizontal bandsaw while doing other things as a machine you're running when counting production machines you are running at once. I don't, the same as most people and anyone you work for. Your union upbringing causes you to set the bar low. If someone came from a...
In layman's terms it depends on where you are in the food chain, or how many farms are upstream from your's pulling water from the river. My first shop was in a rundown area in a tract home's garage. I had a 125 main service fed to a 100 amp sup panel in the shop. If machines were running the...
A KNC-20 should be fine single pointing any O.D. thread in it's size range, it is tapping where it will lack power.
Why don't you post some pictures. I agree with kick up the RPMS, at least to 800. I like 12 passes also. Use insert tooling only.
Those machines can run on auto feed for long periods of time, BigB was talking about using a power feed on a common sized manual mill. I should have been more specific.
Your system is going to get out run 5x-10x over without even pushing things in the slightest on a machining center when it comes to production work. Full blast on the common Servo 140 table feed is 25 IPM. A machinging center can cut 10x+ that and rapid 20x+ that. What part of that do you refuse...
No argument, but not a common occurrence, and note I said efficiently. Even using a power feed, when you go to flip a part or load another one the other manual machine you were running stops.
Wasn't a lot of that death and destruction caused by Boeing? Autonetics, then North American Rockwell in Anaheim once employed over 30,000, then they merged with Douglas and more jobs were lost and facilities closed. I wonder how many SoCal jobs Boeing lost.
I lived on that and diet soda for weeks at a time when starting out, even pizza for breakfast. I probably should have just signed up for scheduled deliveries of pizza. They would also deliver soda, but no beer. I don't have a sweet tooth, I could not even remember the last time I had a desert...
You cannot run two manual machines at a time with any efficiency. No one counts cutting stock as running a machine when it comes to production work, only you. Go ahead and explain how you can efficiently run a mill and a drill press at the same time. You know where you claimed to make over $100...
