The $65 price is from several years ago. This was about the time that Aaron was winding down his ownership of Industrial Hobbies. It was never stated as such, but I believe he was cleaning off the...

I bought Version 17 some time ago and will be starting to use it soon. (Man - it sure can take a long time to get a mill converted.) Anyway, does anyone have a set of the training CD's that are...

How about using a compact flash card with an IDE adapter? The computer will just see it as another hard drive. Not sure how much space an EMC install takes, but I'm using this setup with DOS and...

You might want to join the Emco group at Yahoo. Lots of good info in the files section with pdf's of various versions of the manual. Also lots of discussion on which oil to use (like on most...

I think one of the big considerations is cost. Let's face it, we can all be pretty cheap at times and v-belts are cheap. And with a little bit of work we can make the pulleys.

Of course, we...

"Is that 8 meg required for the flash memory?"

Yes, 8 Megs is plenty of RAM to run DOS and TurboCNC. After all, in the "good old days" we used to run on 512k of memory and thought it couldn't get...

For a toolpost that is smaller than the AXA/100 size, look at the Phase II hobby:

One of the nice things about TurboCNC is that it runs on DOS, which means an old, slow, obsolete computer will run it nicely. By asking around, you could probably come up with several computers that...

Here's a link to a site that should be a help.

Skipper -

I'd modify the pin so I knew that all of my collets (and any I buy in the future) would slip right in and not need modification before I could use them. The pin is up about 2 inches in...

This problem seems to come up with regularity and the problem is that the pin is too long. That also makes it easy to fix, just file/grind/shorten the pin. The pin is only there to keep the collet...

I'd say that since you've tested these and they work okay, just keep on going. If the endmills are high speed steel, you could grind a small flat in the appropriate spot for the set screw. This...

Followed your link, but its late, and I didn't feel like reading through 60 pages of gibberish to try and find out what your problem is. Try again.

Or just visit Harbor Freight and pick up a 45305 (on sale now for $5.99) or a 45303 ($9.99 regular price) pump. When the built-in coolant pump went out on the Cinninatti horizontal mill at school,...

How would you rate the X Y table you are using? It looks like the Enco 201-2536 that I have been considering to enlarge the envelop of my X2. How stable is it at the extremes of travel and is there...
