I had problems with dirty power causing my z-axis to fall. If the stepper driver gets garbage from the controller, it loses holding force and the spindle head falls and makes a "grinding" sound (the...

Could be, so it just eliminates the rotational force when you tighten the nut? I guess that would only leave thrust force... thus the name...that would make sense...

That would mean i could use a...

I've had my (company's) series 3 mill for a bit over a year, already paid for itself in prototyping costs alone.

We do mostly 304 and 316 stainless (some aluminum, some nickel-superalloy's) and...

Never mind, reviewing the micro-MWS drills showed that they are all 1/8" shanks, so a standard sealing disk and/or sealed collet will be fine.

That said, they do recommend "thrust bearing" type...

Hi all,

I have done some design work on this, and have come up with some ideas to use the TTS system and keep the possibility of maintaining ATC functionality, but they are a bit complex (using...

Mitsubishi makes TSC tools well under 1/16" (micro-MWS, as small as 0.020" or 0.5mm).

I looked into coolant inducers (buying and building). The biggest problem with buying is the custom nature of...

Has anyone though of trying to rig something up to get through spindle coolant on a tormach?

I drill lots of deep holes with tiny bits (1/16 - #60, 0.5-1.25" deep) in SS and nickel, and pecking is...

Gerry,

Thanks for the file- I took a look but ran into some problems- if you switch from GCS to CS1, the selection of vices wasnt changing with the CS- That said, I used your method of multiple...

Hi all,

I'm new to sprutcam (running version 8) and have hit a snag that should be an easy fix, but I cant seem to solve-

I have a part that needs two setups- clamp left end in vice, mill the...
