    FS: Rebuilt Hardinge HLV-H w/DRO and tooling

    I bought this lathe off eBay 20+ years ago and it showed up completely hammered. Irrationally, I spent way too much money having D&L Precision rebuild it. Mechanically it turned out prefect and all the ways are glass smooth for their entire travel. The cosmetics are just okay and they lost most...

    CAT V80C Forklift 8000lb Yard Lift

    Cat V80C yard forklift that came out of FMC 20 years ago and has had light use in a fab shop since then. Runs great, this is a de-rated configuration with a massive cast iron Perkins engine. It leaks a little bit of oil here and there. I can get it delivered to you pretty much anywhere in the...

    Do carbide M1.6 x 0.35 spiral point taps exist?

    I need to make some parts out of 30% carbon filled PEEK that I normally make in stainless steel. Does anyone make a carbide M1.6 spiral point tap? I can't seem to find anything under M2. I need to go 6mm deep which is about 1mm deeper than every off the shelf threadmill I've looked at so far...

    Searching for a tool grinder to neck carbide micro tools

    I’m finding myself necking or adding to the existing LBS on small carbide micro tools on almost a daily basis. Everything I keep in the drawer seems to be a tiny bit short or way to long. I have been limping along using a Deckel single lip grinder but it’s not very consistent (collet...

    Accushear 6" Hydraulic Shear Model 8250

    Accushear Model 8250 hydraulic shear originally from Canada and sold new in 1988. Converted to 220V 3-phase, the blades are recently sharpened with 4 good edges, and the hold-downs are rebuilt and don't leak oil. Manually adjustable gap so it cuts burr free from 24Ga all the way up to 1/4"...

    90T x 8' CINCINNATI FORM MASTER II CNC Press Brake 4-axis auto-crowning

    Bought this brake from an auction because I was downsizing my sheet metal operation and I wanted to trade down from the 175T x 12" FMII I have now. I bought it with a non-functioning CNC control with the intent of putting on the new touch screen control upgrade. The new control is $28K...

    Free Cincinnatti 1810 Shear

    Like the title says I need this shear out of my shop this week so free to anyone who wants to pay rigging. I have a forklift scheduled for Thursday and it either gets on a truck headed for your shop or it gets scrapped. It weighs 21,250lbs and I'll even throw in a few new shear blades. Built...

    Generic 17-4-H900 vs Carpenter Project70 vs ? for tool life

    This may be a question for the swiss guys. Compared to standard material is the Carpenter Project70 version of 17-4 H900 stainless substantially more free machining? I'm running cold finished 3/16in round stock in a b-axis mill-turn (milling/drilling only)with most of the tools in the 0.009"...

    Form tool grinder that will will program spline curves

    So the Industrial Design Department went nuts in their CAD software and I need to get a form tool ground to match the spline curve they came up with. My normal suppliers can't and or won't program from splines or a table with points. Other than AB, Destiny, and RobbJack who should I be talking to.

    Modern mold surfacing cutter to replace Kennametal KSSR?

    So what's the new cool cutter for 3D surfacing in aluminum and plastic? I've been using a 2"diameter "Classic Mill" series KSSR Kennemetal mold and die tool for years now Die and Mold • RPF. There must be something better that has a big corner radius, smoother cutting geometry and can handle a...

    HSK-A32-T to Capto C3 adapter toolholder

    I have an inquiry into the factory about such a beast but I figured someone here might know where to get this sort of oddball adapter made. There are basically 6 HSK-A32 turning holders on the market right now. If I can adapt the HSK-A32 spindle to to a female Capto C3 the options are much...

    Source for an off the shelf fine pitch aluminum surfacing bullnose endmill

    I do a bunch of 3-axis surfacing on convex shaped aluminum parts. Before I get something custom ground is anyone making fine pitch large radius bullnose endmills? Something like a 1/2" diameter 10-flute with a 0.1875 radius on the corners. It needs to be a sharp aluminum specific grind but...

    Any current manufacturers of tiny press brakes like the old Toyokoki APB series

    Are there any current manufacturers of really tiny press brakes like the old Toyokoki APB 062 or 184? They seem to have been dropped with the Mitsubishi acquisition and I can't find anything else that small. Not set on a servo-electric but I do prefer it down in that size range.

    Planning/Scheduling Software for an internal prototype shop

    No idea if this exists out in the wild. I'm looking for a software package to schedule jobs for multiple processes (3D printing, laser cutting, machining, specialized test equipment, etc) and priorities in a prototype shop internal to our company. So I don't care about a quoting package...

    Suggestions for a carbide endmill form tool supplier...

    Can anyone point me to a grinder that can supply small (1/4" shank and smaller) custom carbide form tools with tight inside corner radii? I'm machining PEEK plastic medical implants and as the complexity of the parts grows I've run out of tool pots for the unique features. So I've resorted to...

    Looking for a custom Micro Drill grinder

    I need to get a some custom carbide micro drills ground. Preferably by a supplier with plastic experience and comfortable with 0.7 to 0.8mm diameters at 45:1 L/D. I know this is gun drill territory but this is just for proof of concept on the fixturing process so I'll worry it away by peck...

    Looking for suggestions on 60mm housing Belt Driven Spindle supplier

    I'm looking for suggestions on a replacement 60mm housing flat belt driven spindle for the swing down ID attachment on a '75 Kent OD/ID grinder. I bought the machine used and the ID attachment came with this weird spindly nose and an even dumber 8-32 threaded stud connection. A rough tape...
