Hi gang,
Hoping someone has a disused box in the back of the shop somewhere. I've got a Reid grinder that I'm servicing, and both of the oiler meter valves for the slide ways are of an obsolete insert type, "FKC-1", and of course, broken. They have an o-ring seal and a 5/16-24" thread for...
Hi all,
TL,DR: Does anyone know what the proper oil check valve flow range (e.g. 0, 3, etc) is for a YCM-16VS Supermax CNC machine?
As the title says, I've got a YCM-16VS supermax in the shop. I decided to do some maintenance on it and went to check the oiler check valves (has an automatic...

Hey all,
First, the quick line of inquiry, then the rest: How much clearance do you actually need around the SV-2412S? Manual from Sharp says 800 mm in the back. I can make this fit, but if I could get away with less, I'd like to. The lateral dimensions are all fine. Normally I'm a...
