The group is exceptional. It was originally creted to offer counsel in matter of machining but old hands on the group had established a convention that all...
You ever have one of those days then a piece jam and causes all sorts of hell? I was working on a 4 inch piece of 6061 and i made too agressive if a cut.. sure...
Like me you might have a score in your scroll plate. My scroll plate will work perfectly on one work piece of a certain diameter. But try another and it will...
It's probably a chuck problem, probably fairly easy to fix. When you had your jam, it probably left some marks on the chuck body. What you're looking for is a...
Beginner question. I have a 3" 3-jaw chuck and 3" 4-jaw chuck. Their capacities utilizing the outside jaws are 2.75" and 4", respectively. If I remember...
It should be OK in the 4 jaw chuck. When you get it mounted, stand out of the potential path if it's not held securely when it's first spun. You'll want to...
I would assume if the 3x formula is correct that it would safely apply to pieces up to a certain diameter. The notion of 3x with a 3.5" piece isn't realistic...
The cause of concern is the part flying out. I would put the part in, and while facing, take light cuts. once you have cleaned up the work, the cut will be...
Hi all, In any machining operations, the job has to be clamped tight. If the mating surface is smooth, better to use masking tape to get more grip. If the...

The 2 lock nuts are where you set the bearing pre-load to take the slop out of the spindle. Adjust the inner one for zero slop, lock the adjustment with the...
I have recently needed to drill some holes in an aluminium bar - one down the middle and then several in from the side, intersecting the central hole. The bar...

That seems a neat trick - it should work with blocks of plastic just as well. I will give it a go. And thanks for that list of tips - really worth reading! To:...
I typically blue the part, then scrape the top dead center with a piece of steel, a tool bit or scale. if the scraper is level, it marks the top dead center If...

Sorry, to be more specific, the precision should be in the order of one mil or less (0,001"). The pieces are not big (2"..3" diameter, 3..5" length) - so maybe...
