I too sometimes have a bit of trouble getting those collets out. I find it easier to push on the empty collet from the cutter end with a tool or scrap rod. Locate the area where the collet will tilt...

The only problem I've experianced with TTS tooling is when I mill manually. Sometimes the tool will pull out of the collet. Not completely, but enough to ruin depth control.
When under CNC control,...

Or a Hardinge dealer? Some of them carry used parts and might be interested in it.

I also have read bad reports on MFG. I have read some good ones too. MFG has been trying to get me to sign up. They've offered to allow a short trial (not a break on the $ amount, just a partial year...

Thanks, I will check it out. Also have e-dress for micro100.com where they have data like I want. Gonna check 'em both out when I get time. Too much happening right now to take a look today.

I did with one and didn't find data in their on-line site. Am awaiting response from e-mail to their tech branch. Will find other suppliers and look at their sites.

Anyone have an address for thread mill specs.? I would like to see a chart or formulae to thread mill NPT threads. Have yet to find the info on-line. I think we all know hard a search can be with the...

Welcome!
Your English is fine. We can understand your meaning and that is what language is all about.

To avoid confusion, I must say.
The Z on my SMX-3 is controlled but it seems to have issues with changing from Z+ to Z- and keeping its' location completely "known". Some of my problem may be tool...

Thanks Andre,
I will have to find the particular drawing, see if I can convert it to the DXF format and get back to you to see if you can figure my problem for me. Being busy at this time it may be...

Andre,
Therein lies most of my issues. I have little knowledge of computer lingo, etc. and can't make out what type of format any of my drawings are in. Let alone how to get the different programs...

I may be talking out my other end on this, but I don't think a laptop will control a mill. If what I once heard is true, there is not enough computer "guts" to power the mill path. That is said in my...

I got Dolphin and have yet figured out how to use it.
I use Turbo-Cad to draw up parts I need to make, but have yet to be able to draw on Dolphin or import to dolphin for conversion. Dolphin has...

I see the original post is old.
I just moved a mill into my older shop to get it running. It had sat in the new addition for quite some time and had developed rust under the grease I had smeared...

I am not familiar with those engines. I once had a Honda 350 which adjusted by an eccentric rocker arm. The arm was rotated to achieve the clearence. Look on line for the info.

I'd be interested to know also.

Mentally confused and prone to wandering!

Finally, some where to look! I have not even powered up since I posted this problem. It will be some time till get back the machine as I have other things to deal with.
Thank You, emexcee, this...

If we now can change the wheather, when are we going to make it summer year 'round? Winter and the nessecary heating of house/shop is no longer financially feasable. More poeple die from cold than...

A free mill? I would send the ball screw assemblies to Proto or some other ball screw mfg. or reconditioner. I've read serveral places not to remove the screw from the nut. Let the people who do it...

I've looked for the shipping and packing silp on the HK ER collets and was unable to find it. I believe the info made it to the burner during a cleanup of the shop last month. That clean up cost me...

I don't have an answer for you, but will be watching this as I too have that problem. Happened after SB was moved to new building. Haven't tried to run it since problem arose. Hope some one can...

Wish you luck with you idea. It looks to be a dedicated machine. This promisses to be a time saver, at least in some types of work. You might investigate as to making this as an attachment also. ...

My hair is fairly long. Over shoulder length. I usually tie it in a tail. I always am concscious of it, whether tied or not. I guess I've been lucky to have not snagged it in moving parts. I try...

I don't know when I will be able to test them. I have obligations which keep me from daily shop time. If you already ordered them, you wont need to wait for me to qualify 'em.
BTW, I looked on...

I have ER-16 set from hk tools. Just got 'em a week or so ago. Took too long as they took off for their New Years for about two weeks or more. Haven't had a chance to evaluate them. Look OK to...

I am useing a Prototrak SMX 3-axis retrofit on a Willis Mircocut mill and have been thread milling (single point). I can't see how to tell the 'puter to generate the taper for a pipe thread. Don't...

As far as locating details out of the travel limits, when possible, make a hole in a known point to use to locate after moving work to new position. In a work piece in which I was milling round and...

It ain't about warming or cooling, or even 'health care'. It's about taking control of our lives so that we become subjects instead of citizens.
The computer models don't include the sun and it's...

One can only hope Americans wake up in time to take back this country from those who wish to turn it into some kind of slave enclave. Americans being the slaves.
I read somewhere a reporter looked...

I once worked for a boss who gave us ball caps and windbraker jackets with the co. logo on them for a bonus. Bought with soda machine profits he had always told us was ours. This guy once had a...
