    Rubber covered machine roller source

    I'm in need of a roller for use in an industrial machine. Something 60" wide, 3-4" diameter, and covered in rubber. It would be excellent if the rubber had a diamond pattern or similar in it. The roller will be used to feed cloth through the machine. Actually, I can make the roller just fine...

    FS: Capto C5 tool holders

    I have many Capto C5 tool holders available. These are from a mill/turn that we've sold. All are in good condition, some are new. Pictures below don't include all tools but are intended to give a general representation of the condition. We can accept payment by credit card if you'd like...

    CNC Live Tooled Lathe

    I would consider a different bar feeder. Our 80s2s are quirky. They seem to have software bugs or something. It's hard to put a finger on but of our 4 each has some quirk that's different from the rest. For example, one will sometimes just stop pushing. The lathe doesn't get a signal...

    Good Swiss Tooling

    Awesome help and really appreciated. Concerning cutting oils, what's to know there? Not as much maintenance as water solubles, but does that mean cheaper oils work just as well as expensive ones?

    Good Swiss Tooling

    We're looking forward to the arrival of a Citizen L20. We'll be turning 1215, 12L14, and 416 mostly and I'm looking for tooling recommendations. What inserts are working well for general turning work? We use a lot of VNMGs in our shop, but do I remember correctly that negative geometry...

    Kaeser Compressor lemon - Which brand to buy next?

    I had a 10 hp Qunicy screw that ran for 18,000 hours. Bearings went out in the airend. I expected more life from it. Rebuild cost was high enough that I bought a 15 hp Qunicy. Despite having two of them, I'm not really a Quincy fanboy. Our support has been weak.

    Anchoring Barfeed w/o holes in the crete.................

    Devcon 10610 aluminum putty is holding 2-3 of our bar feeders right now. Clean 'crete and feet well and apply the epoxy. To remove just heat the foot up and give it a rap with a hammer. Epoxy can be easily sanded flush to the concrete after removal.

    Nardini 1440E Questions

    I have one of those lathes and have helped a friend who also purchased one. My experience has been good overall. Fortunately I haven't needed parts other than a coolant switch which was sourced stateside. Of the two machines I have experience with, one has been wired straight from the VFD...

    Few thousand small pins to drill on a mill; automatic loading with the spindle?

    I can't find the Countamatic mentioned above. Can someone point me to it?

    Swiss and Magical Guide Bushings

    If it works as advertised then I guess I'm good to go. We'd be running cold rolled 1/2" 12L14 mostly so I can't complain too much about material costs from long remnants. Let's say the magic guide bushing does work as advertised. If a guy had relatively short parts anyhow, is either GB or NO...

    Swiss and Magical Guide Bushings

    No machine configgered yet, just considering options before I purchase. Ran a Citizen with guide bushing some a long time back. Decided the guide bushing was evil. I was thinking here chucker mode with say 1.5x length sticking out from chuck. Turn front end of part then grab with sub...

    Swiss and Magical Guide Bushings

    OK now the next "brilliant" idea. Say a guy is running in chucker mode with no guide bushing. If you come grab the part with the subspindle and support it between the chuck and sub, how much does it help against chatter? Could a part with an L/D ratio of say 6:1 (.250" diameter and 1.5" long...

    Swiss and Magical Guide Bushings

    I'll ask my salesman but I see the Citizen Adaptive Guide bushing on a machine quote for $8900. Ya reckon this price is for the mechanism and then I'll need the bushing right? In other words not $9k per stock size I'd hope.

    Swiss and Magical Guide Bushings

    OK, so my swiss knowledge is dated. I owned for a while a Citizen L25 that was about a '99 model or so. It has a standard rotating guide bushing. For a turning center guy it was a pain. The sales guys are telling me all about these new guide bushings that self adjust. Claims that I can run...

    Arkmate 100 for machine tending?

    I can't comment specifically to that Fanuc, but I used an ABB IRB 1400 that was a welding robot and it's now tending a Haas mill. On the ABB it had some arc welding software with it which of course wasn't useful to me. This software was on top of the basic software package. Our ABB is old...

    Pulse Miss alarm SV0383 on Doosan lathe

    Followed through with turning off the glass scale and going to the encoder. I did end up having to dial in all of the tools again. So far everything looks good. Ran just a part or two before leaving today. Thanks to Daryl Hardt at Doosan for excellent support. He's available on another cnc...
