So had a major crash, once in 10'000 year type of crash, welded an ER16 nut to the body, huge chunks out of Kurt hard jaws, big hole down to the Kurt Leadscrew, yep on of those. The Fadal has the VHT 20/30hp motor, not one of your little pussy motors, when this was going into the vice it wasn't...
Hi,
I'm looking for Mori Seiki SL3 lathe with Fanuc control in So Cal.

The OEM continuos skimmer tube split a part on the Abanaki Tube-Tastic skimmer I have
Replacement tubes are outrageously expensive.
A cheap replacement can be made from McMaster 50A Buna-N cord stock
P/No 9864K31, $1.39/ft. Super glue is very good at joining the ends together.

I'm looking for a Mori SL3 with a Fanuc control. Preferably an 0T, but 6T is ok. Would rather stay away from Yasnac controls if possible. I'm in North west Orange County.
Does anybody have one for sale, or know somebody who has one for sale?
TIA for any help
I'd also be interested in a Mazak...
I have a 4020 with the INV-0054 spindle drive that's failing.
On several occasions the spindle has stopped and coasted to a halt. It's happened while I was warming up the spindle at 3000rpm, it's happened a few times during a program. Evidently the drive sends a fault signal to the control, and...
Just got a letter thru the door.
Fry's is being acquired by Ryerson's.
Not sure if this going to be good. Fry's is fairly close to me, the guys on the will call side are outstanding to work with. The female sales people less so, that could be improved.
Fry's seemed to be out of a lot of...

Neighbour couple of doors down says

I say,
"yes I am, what makes you ask?"
He replies
"Well the Haas van is parked in your parking spot fairly often, so I assumed you needed service on your machines"
I say
"I have Fadals, a Mori and a Makino, you've been in the shop, Seen...
So about 4-5 months ago we had word the owners of the building I’m in were going to sell. Old news as they had tried on/off to sell for a few years. It was a power struggle between family members who wanted, and some who didn’t want to sell. Well those who didn’t want to sell lost the argument...
I changed the belleville washers a while ago, 1 washer was broken, and maybe 8-10 were split. That gave me a drawbar tension of 900#
After changing the washers I measured a drawbar tension of 1200#.
According to a FADAL source the locking drawbar tension should be 1650#-2000#. I haven't seen...
On one of my Kurts the the Leadscrew and Nut became totally frozen together. Low concentration coolant that is rust prone being the culprit.
What didn't work to get it apart
1) me (200#+) hanging off the end of a 5' bar with a 3/4 socket and 1/2 hinged angle at the business end, bent the...
While doing some PM on the 4020 I decided to check the 10k spindle pre-load. per the fadal instructions it was .0035
1) Place a Pressure Gage (SVT-0066) on the table and align it with the Spindle
nose.
2) Set an indicator on the Head and touch the indicator tip on the nose of the
Spindle.

I have a recently acquired Royal Filtermist F-1200.
In maybe 100+hours of running it’s collected at best ½ cup of coolant.
The only time it worked to collect coolant was when a ½ drill got coverd in swarf, and
turned the coolant to mist inside the machine. That happened once.
I have tried...
For the Mori Seiki owners of the Frontier L2 lathe
How good is the lathe? I've heard it's similar to the SL25. is it accurate, can it hold a tolerance, is it reliable? (controls/mechanicals etc)
I'm going to look at one, interested in any positive/negative opinions.
Thanks in advance for any...
A question for the people who run using ADKT/ADCR inserts.
I have quite a few ISCAR inserted holders (1.00/1.25/2.00 dias) that take ADKT/ADCR inserts.
I have some of the inserts with PDFR geometry on the way. I usually run small quantities of parts, so optimizing mat'l removal is generaly not...
Hi to the grinding community
I have been tasked with finding a shop (preferably west coast) that can grind a 9" dia taper.
The major dia of the taper is 9in, and it's 21in long with a 1.400in/ft on dia taper. The dia 1in from the 9in dia is 15in, it then tapers down to 8in over 36in, and is...
