    Been away for about three years, cheap FANUC O-M/C simulation?

    Before crashing the machine I am buying I would like to get some practice with FANUC O-M/C on the desktop. Last FANUC I ran was a 3000-C, a bit primitive with leading zeroes and no decimal points. That was over three years ago so I am more than a little rusty. FADAL 88HS was more modern but not...

    Excel Kiwa 510 Colt with 4,180 hours, FANUC OM control, worth buying or white elephant?

    Not seeing a sub-forum for these. Been looking for a Fadal 15 to get back to owning a CNC Mill in hope of producing some niche products. I liked my old fadal and the control was easy to use. Have to find a small unit as I only have 1ph. power here, not enough for a larger and easier to find...

    Bending 1.25" OD water tubes 90º on a JD2, which material to buy?

    Beating my head against this obstacle, WHICH alloy to use in making new 1.25" OD water transfer tubes? No idea which stainless the tubes vendors sell are made from. I expect they have a mandrel bender, I do not. Just buying transfer tubes and having them shipped appears to be about $900.00 now...

    Clark CFY60 forklift clutch and flywheel removal?

    This old soft terrain Clark 6K has been a pretty good machine despite some "Deferred Maintenance" issues. Unfortunately I got a newer CAT and traded the Clark away. After learning how incredibly expensive a CAT is to keep running I sold it and made another trade to get the old Clark back...

    CAT RC60 Towable will not move,????

    Looking like my CAT ownership may be short lived. I despise companies that hold your equipment hostage for $$$upport. Made a trade last week, my running 60's vintage Clark 60 and an older Buick for a CAT CR60 that "Ran when parked", has flat tires until I get the new ones fitted in a couple of...

    BT50 bench top tool holder. $25.00 As pictured, been laying around but will work fine. $25.00 for the tool, not certain of best way to ship. Not really heavy, or large enough to require a big flat-rate box. Might fit into a medium flat-rate box, so $15.00 shipping. PM or email, Richard

    FREE! Large lot of BT-45 tooling.

    Okay, I'm tired of this BT-45 tooling laying around wasting space. Should be worth something but I have been unable to get a lousy $300 for the whole pile. Includes a speeder head, right-angle head, tool setter, floating tap holders, drill chucks, adjustable boring bars, fly-cutters, and of...

    Light weight nuts & bolts sources, Hollow and aluminum?

    Tried an on-line search for hollow and aluminum bolts with no luck. The keyword algorithms have gotten so bad that no matter what you try to find all you get are unrelated Amazon links. I no longer have my EDM machine to make my own hollow bolts so will have to buy them. Anyone have a good...

    FREE! Matsuura MC1000V, basically runs, needs minor work. (No. Nevada)

    Need this machine out of my way! Now FREE to anyone who will remove it. Worth about $1,000.00 as scrap metal and much more if the servos, spindle, and electronics are sold separately. Really should be repaired and put into use but I have no time for it. Make: Matsuura Model: MC-1000V Type...

    Suggestions for help sending a big mill to Peru?

    Moving my shop to another town and will not have room for the Matsuura 1000 VMC. "Sold" it on feeBay, in theory. Buyer is in Florida, end destination is Peru, and I'm in Nevada. Sale clearly stated that the sale was "Local Pick-up", international sales OK, and any shipping is the buyers...

    WTS, Matsuura MC1000V and BT-45 tooling.

    WTS, Matsuura MC1000V ,BT-45 tooling, large tool table, and pre-setter. Great iron and spindle, I almost pulled the trigger on a retrofit. Control is a FANUC 3000-C which works fine most of the time but occasionally gets a small glitch. Has BTR that I've used many times to run the Matsuura with...

    CNC Mill retrofit "Logic ladder" for tool change, really THAT hard?

    So I got a quote of "Only" $6,000.00 from Centroid for the hardware to retrofit my old Matsuura MC1000V. But the quote goes to $20,000.00 if they 'help' and get involved in the Logic Ladder. All the Logic Ladder is going to have to handle is some switches and a pump for the tool changer. It's a...

    Cutting oil? What have I got here? Golden West #3905 & #5540.

    I was given a few pails of Golden West #3905 & #5540. Must be old product as there is nothing to state exactly what they are used for on any labels. I think these are semi-synthetic cutting oils, hoping I can use them with a mister on the manual lathe. Tried a search and was very surprised to...

    Oval to round transition with slight undercut, lollipop EM?

    Only have a three-axis Fadal mill. Finally about to have time to do a project for myself! Motorcycle ITB's to Porsche IDA-3 manifold adapters. The ITB's are oval, the Porsche intake is round. The ITB oval is narrower than 40mm in Y but longer in X. So the taper at X is simple but the slight...

    Cincinnati Milacron 208U lathe - Acramatic 850, Shop Floor Programming manual?

    The computer I had the basic Acramatic 850 "Shop Floor Programming" guide on died. I have a very simple part to make that should be ideal for getting familiar with the SFP function. Anyone have a copy, paper of PDF? There is supposed to be a more detailed 850 SFP manual available as well but...
