Ugh...It's replys like this that make me regret sharing info. What is this Facebook? I doubt anyone goes on eBay with the intention of buying stolen property. What a stupid reply.
Make sure the nut on the ball screw that is on the thrust bearing is tight. I had one loosen on a Daewoo. Next bolts on the ball nut, couplers are tight and have no backlash in them. If it has Lovejoy type couplers, look into the spider for being broken.
Ok now, so you see these deals on eBay and Amazon for boxes of new top name inserts for $25 a box. Some are legit, swiped from a place of employment, maybe in the box of a retired guy.
Most however are fakes. Listing for $25 a box , guy has 20 boxes. Sounds like BS and it is. Pic below shows...
I had a similar issue last year on a little Hardinge. Parts kept moving in size in Z. Checked the coupler, replaced the thrust bearings, checked for backlash in the screw, swapped out the encoder board. Same...
I took the encoder apart, a cap died and puked electrolytic on the glass. I...
There are very few solicitations that will allow you to download drawings with out the JCP. I have not dived any deeper into the work with export controls on them. I'm sure it's more forms and security checks. Both dibbs and Waft are getting more and more difficult to deal with. They are...
International Minicut, hands down. They annihilate aluminum, I've never had flutes get clogged, the hi speed steel is more forgiving then carbide. Good tool life, make sure they have adequate coolant, the few I have broken have just snapped, no shards of carbide to dig out of your part . I ve...
A couple things before you part it out. With the servos not powered, control on, turn the x axis screw and see if the axis counts. My guess , if the encoder counts, it's good. That vintage Hardinge will probably have Siemens DC motors and drives, lucky you, anyway look for alarms on the drive...
Riddle me this..
You spent 25k for a package and they want 5k maintenance.
The sales pitch is you get bug fixes and all the latest features, right?
How much , if any of this really changed in the last almost 10 years, answer, very little.
Why are you paying to fix bugs that shouldn't be there...
Consider the Linuxcnc and Advanced motion drives. Yaskawa has awful customer support, their stuff is hard to set up and seriously overpriced. AMC is an American company, their drives are considerably less expensive and their tech support is very good. The Linuxcnc is surprisingly versatile and...
I got great life from 9930 Syntillo, awful from Wynn's. I've been using Trimsol ep and Castrol soluble oil, don't remember the number. Good sump life in the Cinci lathe and the Tree, not so good in the Matsuura.
I liked the synthetic for its life , it gave me my first Turcite lesson on the...
