    Can I get some advice on milling off a hat.

    So I have a piece, it's 6" x 7" x 5/8" made of 6061. It ends up with a 1/2" thick feature with a 1/8" hat on the bottom. Kind of rounded triangular shaped. I flip it over put it in a set of milled soft jaws and mill off the 1/8" hat revealing the finished triangular part. The CAM spat out .040"...

    OT: New in crate Moore parts.

    Thought I would post this just cause it was interesting. I was at the local machinery place today and they had just picked this up while cleaning out the local university. A new in crate table and saddle for a Moore...something. No clue as to model or size. Kinda neat to see there is still...

    I took a chance on a Series 62 that was broken. New/old lathe.

    So I have kept my eyes out for years now to try to get a better manual lathe for one off and second op stuff. The CNC makes money but just putting something in to do a quick job is a pain. Plus the CNC only has like 26" of Z, I keep getting jobs that need a lot more space than that. From...

    Fusion 360 price increase question.

    I just got this email today. A few years ago when the price was about to go up I "locked in" the $310 a year price. They said this was forever and that is what I have been paying. Now I get this email and it sounds like they are about to kick me up $235 a year. Is this the case? I can't find any...

    Out with the old Cincinnati mill, in with the new.

    Well, I needed space for a new larger lathe for some jobs I have been getting which meant the old Cincinnati No.4 horizontal had to go. Sold it to a local guy here with a bunch of extras. He actually drove it away on a forklift. His shop was about a mile away. Scary but it was a 20,000lb...

    Which transformer to get to step up 240v to 480v?

    Hey guys, could use some help on a transformer question. I just picked up a Monarch series 62 Dyna-shift tracer lathe. While I was attaching the wiring to the disconnect I noticed there was no way the #4 wire I had run would fit in the connectors. I knew that was the correct size for the 20hp...

    OT: Help with information on the Vidmar cabinet please.

    Well this is the second and I hope last thing form this purchase I need help with information on. Buying a mill from a local university that they apparently purchased new when the school was founded in 1965. With the mill was this cabinet filled with the tooling for the mill. It's a very...

    Please help identifying this Cincinnati (I think) dividing head.

    So I am picking up a new Cincinnati mill shortly and grabbed the accessories. It came with this dividing head. I have a couple normal Cincinnati dividing heads and obviously this looks nothing like a standard milling DH. It is a Cincinnati, it has the right two sided number plate, handle and...

    Hey guys, looking to sell my No.4 and move to a smaller unit and found a Cinel 60 for sale. Got the serial number and was wondering if someone can give me any year or any other information on it. Thanks a bunch. Paul. 5J2P5R-26

    What oil for Wilson hardness tester damper?

    Just went to use my Wilson 5JR marked 78 so assuming made in 1978 so not too old and it had small puddle under it. Looked through the side hole and the little damper inside was all oily looking. Tried to use it and there is no damping when releasing the weight anymore. Just slams down and reads...

    How do I move ahead with jobs given the changing business environment?

    So I have been waiting for things to get back to normal business wise around here. The two big FEAR button issues being rammed down our throats being Donald Trump (love or hate, either works) and Covid. I know why neither have left the news for the last year it's not rocket science. Social...

    Hit Cycle Stop during tapping machine is locked. Any ideas?

    Fanuc 0i-MF Doosan DNM5700. Was test running a program. It had just finished tapping (I thought) and I hit the "cycle stop" button so I could hit reset and go make some changes to the code. Guess it wasn't done the tapping cycle. It threw a 2069 X axis interlock, 2070 Y axis interlock, 2071 Z...

    Fusion 360 Manufacturing Extension..the other shoe dropped..

    So when they announced it a few months ago it was the answer to the clunkiness of F360 when doing 4th axis stuff. Some good rotary toolpaths. Also a bunch of other stuff that I didn't have a use for but looked useful if you needed it. At the time it was free trial so I had no clue what it would...

    Opinons on what self centering vise to get for my 4th axis.

    I am looking for a self centering vise for my new Koma 4th axis and I must admit I am bit overwhelmed by the choices and was hoping for some opinions on what to get. It's the Koma RWE-200R and it came with an 8" chuck but I have a number of possible jobs that would require a vise. Looks like I...

    How do I do a parameter and settings back up on a Fanuc 0i-TC?

    Well it would appear I have some free time at the moment and also as of yesterday the AL-73 turret unit battery alarm stopped my lathe dead in it's tracks. I ordered a new battery off Amazon but it won't be here for a week. Also they mentioned you need to make sure you don't power down while...

    How do large lathe's and mill-turns handle C axis movement?

    I was watching Edge Precision on YouTube a while ago and a question jumped to mind and I realized I had no idea what the answer was and figured I would ask. He uses a big Mazak 5 axis mill-turn, like a Integrex 650 or something. So my question was while watching it execute a bunch of C axis...

    4th Axis physical layout questions

    I am in the market for a 4th for my Doosan DNM5700 Fanuc 0i-MF. I don't do production jobs, pretty much all my work has been prototype, R & D, and small run 100 count and under stuff. By that I mean I don't have a job that can write me a check to just outright purchase it without thought to cost...

    OT - Google Translate Camera app usefulness

    I just posted this at the end of someone else's thread and it dawned on me this might be good information for anyone and I should post it here also. I use a Samsung phone so apologies if this works different on Apple phones. If you want to have a translation of something all you have to do is...

    1959 10EE all the sudden not powering up?

    Hey guys, could use some advice on a problem that cropped with my 10EE the other day. The machine is a 10EE 1959 with the WIAD. No coolant pump, no ELSR, no hydraulic pump. It is connected to 240v single phase. The machine is very original. Wires have been redone if they looked questionable but...

    Part # or info on Colchester 15" oil pump drive belt?

    Hey guys, a friend is doing maintenance on a late 70's early 80's Colchester 15" and can't find the belt part # (like Gates # not Colchester) for the oil pump drive belt. If anyone has information on what the required part is or where to get one it would be very much appreciated. Thanks guys. Paul.
