    New Machine day!!!

    It’s been a slow start to this machine. It took gossinger 3 days to instal and the apps guy two days to get the probe working. And I’m still not satisfied with the table probe. In my opinion the way you level it is pathetic. In one direction it’s with set screws and cap screws. In the...

    Hard Milling over 60Rc? Coolant/Air

    I like using coolant with ball cutters as well. That tip of the ball is essentially dragging and not cutting. Coolant helps. With square and radius corner I usually cut dry. Unless there are pockets or features I don't want filled with little chips. Mold making mindset here. It may not...

    New Machine day!!!

    Not yet. I'm not sure when Gosinger will get here to set it up. The electricians are here now. Only half of my tool holders have showed up so far. I'm actually the most excited about all the holders and tools I was allowed to buy. This is our second M560-V. The first one has been a great...

    Its probably a gamble if it will work, I may just buy some 11/16 and turn it down.

    New Tool Holder recommendations

    Since we are heavily invested in shrink I doubt rego would be on the table at this point. It is a wishful item though.

    Hey machinists! I am putting together a list for tooling up an new Genos 560. We currently have one and are a fan of it. I am not the operator of the current one but will be for the new one. The operator has said that he has not seen much of a difference between the finish using big plus...
