    coordinate calculator for milling triangles out of plate.

    Not enough room on the mill table. Big parts, lots of detail.

    coordinate calculator for milling triangles out of plate.

    After some serious translating of the very old DRO instructions, I found out how to lay out a liner bolt pattern at an angle: PROBLEM SOLVED. Thanks for the suggestions. I had no idea that feature was in the system. On an embarrassing note, this is the sort of stuff I studied in the late 70's...

    coordinate calculator for milling triangles out of plate.

    Really trying to avoid breaking down the original setup. Might have a good excuse for a large rotary table; Not!

    coordinate calculator for milling triangles out of plate.

    I'll have to do some digging and give it a try. It sure would speed things up if I didn't have to break down the setup and set angles for every cut. Thanks everyone.

    coordinate calculator for milling triangles out of plate.

    Accumulative error for a long run would add up. There's also several different angles involved, so I'd still be doing a lot of math. I was hoping for a plotting calculator program. Thanks, and have a smooth Sunday.

    coordinate calculator for milling triangles out of plate.

    Greetings, I can do the math, but dang it's a long process. What I'm looking for is a x/y calculator that can give me the coordinates at .050" increments for milling out the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle. Obviously the right angle part is simple, X or Y stays on zero while Y or X is...

    Home shop EDM?

    Thanks. I'll do some more digging.

    Home shop EDM?

    Greetings, Is there a home shop or bench top EDM machine out there that's usable on small projects? Obviously there's tons of mills and lathes, just wondering if small EDMs also are available. Thanks in advance.

    Deep hole drilling in Titanium

    Greetings, I'm looking at a job that requires some deep hole drilling in grade 5 titanium. I've never done that, and have always been just fine with that. Any suggestions for a specific drill design that can pull this off without that wonderful "SNAP" sound? I'm drilling clearance holes to be...

    Where to get a Milling Machine base and table only?

    Good Information. A little late. They scrapped it out over a month ago. Just bad timing on my part, but thanks for the lead.

    Where to get a Milling Machine base and table only?

    I'm looking for either new or rebuilt. I already have a worn out one.

    Where to get a Milling Machine base and table only?

    I'd like to replace my mill with one that has a longer table, and quite frankly a LOT less wear. My Mill Head is almost new, so I'd like to find a base and table to put my newer head on. Any recommendations for where to pick up a rebuilt or new Bridgeport style mill base and table? Thanks, Gos

    Same head monting for J-Head and Lagun Republic FT-2?

    Greetings, Does anyone know if the Lagun Republic FT-2 used the same head attachment as the Bridgeport J-Head? I have a new head, but a worn out base and table. I "may have" found a Lagun Republic FT-2 that's tight, but I need to make sure the two heads are interchangeable first. Thanks, Gos

    Gamet parts source?

    Is there such a thing as a place to order replacement parts for Gamet boring / facing heads? One that I ordered off of EBay arrived today and is missing the pawl that advances the diameter adjustment under rotation, so it's useless for back facing. Thanks in advance, Gos

    Welding steel pipe from the inside?

    I appreciate all the thoughts and suggestions. Thanks one and all. Gos

    Welding steel pipe from the inside?

    Can't sleeve it as it would reduce flow too much, and only the one end is accessible.

    Welding steel pipe from the inside?

    The piping is embedded through a series of steel plates that make the outside inaccessible. Once the elbows are off, you have enough room to either put your head over the hole, or insert your arm but not both. The idea is to repair cavitation that's about 18" deep. You can't remove it. You...
