    OT - Thinking of attending the EMO show in Hannover and have a flight route question...

    Accommodation will probably be double as well. Didn’t realise where you were located. I’m just over the river in Savannah at the moment.

    Hi Ross, No problem, I should be able to arrange it from here. I’m in Savannah for another 6 weeks or so. Would ask you to send it here and then I can deal with the international bit. How dose that sound?

    For Sale ! ! !

    Hi Ross, I would be quite interested in the high speed head. Would you be willing to deal with the hassle of shipping overseas? Actually I’m in the us at the moment…..I may be able to arrange the international part if you ship it to me. I’m in GA for a while with work. Let’s see what we can...

    Small Horizontal Mills

    You say you’re looking for something a bit on the smaller size, less than a Bridgeport. The Abene VHF3 is a big beast and in a much different class than other mills you listed. From memory well over a ton.

    Want to buy Multifix Holders Size "A" & "B"

    This cracks me up, they are a European design. Don't think anyone ever made them in the US. they are all imports.

    OT- Yanmar marine diesel oil pressure question

    Hard to see from the picture but the one on the left looks like it might only be a switch not a sender.

    OT- Yanmar marine diesel oil pressure question

    Understood. Bouncing around of a pressure gauge can also be caused by the movement bringing the suction out of the fluid. Usually caused by a low level. Sometimes because it’s just that bloody rough! My main worry with a falling pressure on a Diesel engine is fuel contamination. Can lead to...

    OT- Yanmar marine diesel oil pressure question

    You continued to run the engine with falling oil pressure and the only check you did was the coolant temp? Given your mechanical knowledge I expect you did something more? It’s only a little yanmar but will still cost a bit to replace if killed.

    Deckel shipping and rigging CA

    Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a FP2NC from California and shipping it overseas. Can anyone recommend a rigger who is suitable to pickup and crate it properly for international transportation?

    Aciera F3 plus accessories

    Hi Stu, I’m quite interested in it, have tried to send you an email through PM but have no idea if it went. You mention horizontal spindle, dose it have the vertical as well? Can you email some pictures? Thanks.

    Heidenhain tnc111

    Hi Peter, Thanks for the pointer. I found a German manual on the site. Unfortunately it doesn’t shed any light on the situation. Well the google translate version doesn’t! Something may have been lost in translation… Turned it on this morning, only displays 5 on each axis now.

    Heidenhain tnc111

    Hi Peter, I have found a 2 page manual in English. From that it just seems to be turn it on and go. Was hoping that someone had a bit deeper knowledge than those 2 pages. I’m assuming that it is faulty… but would like to explore a bit more before shipping it off.

    Heidenhain tnc111

    Hi All, Well I have finally plugged in my new to me FP2. It didn’t go as I had hoped! I cannot get the dro to make any sense. Is there a initialisation procedure? Or just turn it on and go? The small display on the top right seems to be working ok, I can type in a number and it comes up there...

    O/T V8 EMD Engine

    This is my favourite over complicated German girl. She is a MTU 595 TE90. top of my head around 3000Kw. V16, 8 turbos in a 2 up compound and 4x sequential. 5 intercoolers. It is the most amazing assault on the senses standing between 2 of them when the throttles are slammed to the stops. Revs...
