Not an ad and I have no direct relationship except for the fact that we use their tool holders in our turning centers. I thought this was worth sharing though.
An alternative for those with turning centers with no Y Axis. This could be beneficial for some people...
It has come to my attention that Sandvik, after buying Vericut, has now purchased the company that owns Gibbscam.
"Cambrio’s product portfolio includes GibbsCAM for production milling, turning, and mill turn operations, Cimatron for mold and die, as well as SigmaNEST for sheet metal...
OK gentlemen, this is a new one on me. And I will preface this by saying just because I have not seen this before doesn't mean it hasn't been done. We have a customer that purchased TCP(G43.4) on their horizontal machining center. So I am asking the 5 axis (4?) pros here if they have encountered...
We were sent this video this morning. A direct drive rotary table for a VMC that is capable of 2200 RPM on a Fanuc and 5000 RPM in a Seimens. So, the potential for turning in a mill just became easier.

It seems more action has been taken in the CAM simulation/verfication world. I just read that Sandvik has bought CGTech, the developers of Vericut. Short on the heels of the Autodesk/Camplete merger.

Hello Don and the rest of the forum, I was wondering if maybe the time has come to give Doosan it's own forum. What is everyone's thoughts on this, please?
I am asking as an applications engineer for Doosan and that is my real interest in asking. We have 3 or 4 guys here who can monitor the...
I found this video on Facebook. I hope it can be viewed from here because it is an important issue. Safety is a big deal. They don't know exactly what happened yet but thank God nobody was hurt except maybe someones ego. The whole video should be watched. The energy involved here stretches the...
I wasn't sure where to post this but find this machine to be amazing, maybe even a work of art. Dated 5-1-1945. Maybe making a part for one of our first jet engines.
OT: Rivett608 gets great write up.
This link was posted to my Facebook page. A write up on Rivett608, I believe. very good article.

IMTS looks to be another great show. A few people on this forum had asked whether we were offering any discounts, especially after Ellison Technologies was showing a special deal they had come up with. I was just told, and this will be advertised, that we are offering $4 K to $12 K off on select...
As an applications engineer, we happen upon these small tidbits of info now and then that can make life easier for some of us and save huge headaches down the line. The below is valid but I would preface this with a stern test,test,test. Backup your parameters in the normal way first before...
Can someone please explain in layman's terms why 5 wire machine hookups are better (or not) than 4 wire and how you would physically hook up 5 wires to a machine that customarily uses only 4 wires.
Thanks,
Paul
Here we go again and still stumped by this. Please let me explain as well as I can. Another customer has called complaining that a small arc in a really dense program is actually deviating and cutting a full circle. I had another customer call about the same thing about a year ago. This latest...
This is a problem I haven't seen yet. 10 machines, most 31i series, a couple of Oi's. Some of the 31i's, during drip feeding, will not clear the buffer after hitting reset-edit-reset. This is causing occasional crashes and other problems with inexperienced operators. Has anyone seen this? And if...
Good Day Everyone,
I have a Haimer Centro centering indicator for sale. I barely used this because we have Renishaw probes on all of our machines in our showroom. Along with that and the fact that the door interlocks make this difficult to use. These retail for over $500, so any reasonable offer...
Good day all,
I just started at this new place and we have a Leblond lathe that isn't completely working right and nobody seems to know a lot about it. I have a serial #, 12C-1324. There is no model number or name on this machine so I am having a hard time sourcing remedies. There is a dial on...
Hello All,
Just relocated to New Jersey and got a new job here. I have 2 of these machines, Star CNC ECAS20 with seimens 840DI controls. I am familiar with Stars wit Fanuc controls but never used this Seimens control. Does anybody have any idea how good these controls are? I am a Fanuc guy and...
OK, back after a long spell. Was unemployed for a while. Had to move from Colorado to New Jersey. Laugh all you want, LOL. Working again. Have to say I missed this place even though I did not participate much, just too damn busy in my last job. Back to work again working on wire EDM machines...
We have a Makino SP43 wire. We are cutting a ratchet shape in 6 mm tubing. It is causing a brownish and/or purplish discoloration on the parts. What could be causing this? I have been around wire EDM's fo a very long time, just never ran them till now. The discoloration comes off with...
