    Dimensions for a horizontal arbor FUS-22 (Deckel FP2 clone)

    Hi My Deckel clone FUS22 came without a horizontal arbor. This question is inspired by a similar question about an actual Deckel mill. Rather than hijack that thread, I am posting a separate question for a non-Deckel arbor. There is absolutely no danger of sourcing anything locally. The...

    Stuck Taper Pin Removal Tool

    Hi I am doing deep maintenance on my Milling machine that is held together with lots of tapered pins. Most of the tapered pins are in tight spaces where I can't get to the far side to backup with a heavy chunk of metal. I read a post that included a comment from someone ( sorry, I don't...

    1979 FUS-22 - Deckel Clone needs deep maintenance. Has anyone done it?

    Hi My FUS-22 mill was purchased new from a trade fair (long before the Internet) by a plastics factory for making molds. Sept 1975. I think it is now overdue for some serious maintenance. Nothing appears to be broken or worn out. It basically needs a strip down, clean and fresh oil/grease. I...

    Infratirea oradea FUS-22 Deckel Clone milling machine backlash on X-axis

    Hi I have a problem with my FUS-22 milling machine. It has severe backlash on the x-axis, about 5mm, more than can be accounted for by wear. Maybe something is missing or broken. I suspect there should be a bush between the left X handle and the table. If there is, I don't know what it...

    Nardini MS350: pictures of the gearbox removed to fix oil leaks

    Hi Over the past year or so, my gearbox has started leaking too much oil. I finally decided I needed to fix the leaks. That requires removing the gearbox. Here are some photos. This is the lathe as delivered before any modifications. Here is the gearbox with the front cover removed for the...

    Tool bit grinding for really slow cutting speeds???

    Hi I have just finished a copy of special purpose washer. It included a helix cut as a 2mm wide thread with a 2mm pitch. That makes no sense because if the washer turns more than 1 turn, it will cut off the thread (helix). So to make this washer with a helix, I had to basically cut a square...

    Drilling Out Alumina Ceramic Tubing??

    Hi I ordered alumina ceramic tube for a one-off project. OD=4mm, ID=2mm. I got tube OD=4mm, ID=1.2mm. The bore is too small. It took over 2 months for the order to make it through the shipping process, so while I wait for a replacement, I thought I could experiment with what I have. Is it...

    Haimer 3D Probe Tip : making new ones ??

    Hi I purchased an imperial Mini Haimer 3D probe in new condition. It is identical to the image except it is missing the tip. Replacement tips are available locally at about $USD137. I could import one from the USA or Europe but international shipping time is too slow and cost is too high. I...

    Is OptiVisor still the top choice?

    Hi I need an Optivisor type magnifier. I need something in the range of 3 to 5 dioptre. In past years this forum advice leans toward Optivisor. Are there now cheaper/better options? The prices vary here by a factor of 10x. Dazz

    Yaskawa V1000 Tripping on e-stop?

    Hi This is an opening question to find any experts on Yaskawa V1000 drives. I have retrofitted a V1000 to a Nadini lathe fitted to a 4kW motor. The install includes an external braking resistor. When I do a e-stop at average load, it stops very quickly as expected. I tried an e-stop at...

    Nardini Lathe : Routing Coolant Hose ??

    Hi I have a Nardini MS350 which is a lot like the MS1440 that superseded it. I have refurbished the lathe and converted it to VFD. I have also fitted a single phase coolant pump. The problem is simply that I can't figure out the factory route for the coolant hose from the pump to the...

    Deckel Clone max length Horzontal Arbor ?

    Hi I FUS 22 clone. I am trying to find a suitable horizontal arbor for it. I don't know what the max length could be. The manual is unhelpful. It does list a 5 inch arbor as an option, but it doesn't say the max length the machine can run. I have found a 8 inch arbor on e-bay that would be...

    Deckel Clone Horizontal milling capacity

    Hi I have a FUS 22 Deckel clone. I am currently searching for an arbor for horizontal milling. The FUS22 will take a 120mm arbor with end support. What I don't know is the limits of cutter diameter/width that can be driven. I know the specified arbor will carry a max 120mm wide and max 170mm...

    Hi Attached is part of the factory drawing for a 1925 Steam Wagon crankshaft. I want to make a new reproduction crankshaft. The crankshaft is made in two parts. It has to be 2 parts because eccentric cams to drive the valve gear are fitted on the shaft between the crank webs. Very...

    Storing Heads?

    Hi At present the slotter and high speed heads for my Deckel clone are stored on the floor. Not a good place. The previous owner made a trolley that can hold both tables. It allows the tables to be mounted and dismounted without me lifting either. I find that mounting/dismounting is not an...
