    SO it looks like we are getting a thread roller

    Mark, If you wouldn’t mind sharing a program example, that would be great. I’ve been looking at thread rolling off and on for awhile. Has anyone had experience thread rolling heat treated 17-4 PH? Every time this job comes around we make great parts single pointing them. And every time, I...

    Establishing a supply chain for your product + finance/accounting questions.

    Without divulging too many details, can you share the size of the part or the blank you need in 4140?

    Transition from low volume to production

    Brother power issues?

    For our R2A’s we have 30A breakers. One machine is at 220V, the other is 233V. Spec is 230V. I think you may be pulling too much current for the spindle servo when it drops to 210. Can you change the taps to go to 230V?
