Yes that is a good one. The "toe clamps" may cover holes you need to get to in order to adjust the vise opening, though. regards, Alan

I buy from Enco, CDCO Tools, ebay. Info links, here, from my site. cheers! Alan

Hi Ian,

I put a time/date stamp on each page, now. I hope that helps a little, regards, Alan

Hi Ian, I have considered noting new sections on the site but it's a nightmare. Some site search pgms will do it automatically but I don't like advertising. Thanks! Alan

I have found that too . thank you much! alan

Hi, the small vise with the built-in parallels (as well as many other tools) were purchased frm Enco. They are the best to deal with. Thanks for all your support, guys, regards, Alan

Hi, I am trying to do 3D digitizing but having trouble with the software. I can use Mach3 & a probe to create a comma delimited XYZ txt file. I use mach3 to save it as an STL file. I have tried...

Lee, thanks, I'm ordering a charge pump this week. I put a scope on Mach3, 12.5KHz output & it was more like, 12KHz. I hope this is not a problem for the pump as it is microcomputer controlled & uses...

Thanks for the info. I have a breakout board already, now I'll get the charge pump. The one I need is only $22. what a bargain.

That would do it, I'm sure. I was not eager to add more complexity but I'll check it out. thanks!

I have used a 3" toolmakers vise on a Taig for years. The ones with hidden engagement mechanisms can sometimes require fiddling around with to get them positively engaged so I prefer the ones with...

Maritools is top quality. try http://www.use-enco.com

yes it's a bronze split nut with adjustment screws to lower backlash. Bronze on steel is fine; dissimilar metals are a good thing. zero backlash ball screws would be better but I'll try this first....

Again, thanks! I worked especially hard on the limit-switch brackets.

thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

Hi,
I am starting to convert my Taig mill to CNC. Currently, my manual mill has a Shumatech DRO. http://www.finelinehair.com/home/Taig_Mill_DRO.htm The question is, should I leave the DRO on the...

Lee, it seems every gear I would ever need is available via a downloadable CAD. what a great suggestion, thanks again, Alan

I'll check it out. thanks Lee!

Hi, I see that Mach3 has a wizard for gear cutting by rotating the part and milling the edge. But I was looking for a wizard that would mill an involute gear out of a stationary, flat-mounted plate....
