Thinking About Buying a Mazak Variaxis C-600
Anybody own a Variaxis C-600 on here yet? I'm pretty sure it's a fairly new model replacing the J series. Can somebody share their likes/dislikes about the machine? It's a pretty big upgrade to my other two 5-axis machines (Haas umc 500's) I was also quoted a 500 mm OKK 5 axis. But I'm leaning...- Goldnstate Prec.

Reamer cutting undersized because of run-out?
My pin is not bent, and it is possible my drill maybe walked 2 or 3 tenths, but I'm starting to realize, a reamer that sticks out too far, especially if it is dull will have a tendency to follow the hole instead of slightly cutting it's own path.- Goldnstate Prec.

Reamer cutting undersized because of run-out?
I think that it is a lobed hole, I will look into pecking, I've never tried that with a reamer before.- Goldnstate Prec.

Reamer cutting undersized because of run-out?
It is very possible the reamer is dull, it has made many parts in the past, this is a repeat job. the only part I,m slightly confused about is the fact that the tip of my reamer is mic'd .0002 bigger than the gage pin. As I do more research, the longer the reamer is sticking out of the collet...- Goldnstate Prec.

Reamer cutting undersized because of run-out?
Hey everybody, I've got sort of an uncommon problem. I'm drilling and reaming a hole with a .0781 reamer. I have mic'd my reamer from bottom to top and the hole thing reads a consistent .0781. I have changed speeds and feeds to try and make my hole cut to an actual .0781 diameter but as weird as...- Goldnstate Prec.

Small hole drilling in M2 tool steel, help!!!
Ok, I apologize for not including details, and I've dialed in on good numbers and so far it's been working great. .026 carbide drill, 20 sfm with a .0001/tooth chip load, which solved the problem! I applied the same principle to the reamer as well. Thanks for your quick reply.- Goldnstate Prec.

Starting a new small machine shop...
I already own the building, the equipment that I'm getting doesn't cost a ton of money, there's little risk involved if you ask me. I believe if I work hard and do things the right away, the business will grow itself. My initial costs and overhead are extremely low, with great potential revenue...- Goldnstate Prec.

Starting a new small machine shop...
Hey guys, I know this is a common thread, but I'm starting a brand new machine shop in a fairly small building (40 x 40). For those of you who have done this in the past successfully, are there some things I should look out for? What were your biggest speed bumps? What were some things you wish...- Goldnstate Prec.

Large end mills in 40 taper Haas
Hey guys, brand new to the forum site, but anyways, I run a vf2 ss regularly on hard metals. I've definitely found using a regular set screw solid holder works best with the larger end mills, not to mention when compared to a regular er collet holder is a lot more robust. I can understand slight...- Goldnstate Prec.
