I have for sale a 2008 Sharp TMV-1 mill with Anilam 3000M 3-axis CNC retrofit. This is a high quality BEEFY machine (think Bridgeport on steroids). I've had this machine for a few years and have used it very little. Prior to that it was in a job shop environment and saw limited use. The ways are...
I've just finished putting together a 10HP phase converter using an American Rotary panel and a self supplied idler motor. The idler motor is making a buzzing noise when there's no load on the circuit. As soon as I apply a load it goes away. See the video in the link below...
I just picked up a Sharp TMV-1 with an Anilam CNC retrofit. One of the three amplifiers is dead - I just got the news today that it's beyond economical repair. I can get a refurbished one (these drives are no longer produced) but it's ~$1,800. This is a garage/hobby machine so I'm trying to save...
I fully expect to get roasted for asking this, but what has everyone's experience been with "cheap Chinese" tool holders?
I have a Sharp TMV-1 CNC knee mill I'm about to buy tool holders for. It has a 5000 RPM NMTB40 spindle. I plan on getting a longer drawbar so I can use CAT40 holders. This...
I'm in the process of getting a CNC knee mill up and running and I'm in need of a RPC. I just picked up a used 10hp 3ph motor to use as an idler and need to buy a RPC Panel to compliment it.
Is there a consensus on who is the best manufacturer of phase converters/panels? I realize they're...
I have a new (to me) CNC knee mill that I'll be moving into my garage next week and I'm starting to think about how to power it. I think I've landed on buying an RPC control panel and adding my own 10HP 17xx RPM idler motor. I'm sure used 3ph motors can be had for dirt cheap but I'm not sure...
I work for a shop that's currently selling a 2008 Sharp TMV-1 with an Anilam 3000M control. The shop purchased this machine new and it worked great up until we relocated. After the move the axes stopped responding to the control and it has sat ever since. We're now looking to get rid of this...
First post. Woot! I've been browsing the forums for a while, but have just now come across a challenge in which I feel seeking the advice of other, more experienced industry professionals will be beneficial.
I work in a mid-sized, short run job-shop. When I say short run, I mean typical...
