A 1" endmill is stretching the capacity of these mills. That is one of the problems of R-8 collets on this tsize mill is that they were designed for much...
Mitotoyo makes very good stuff generally, but the scales for this unit are much too large for this mill. And it's only 2 axis. You can find 3 axis setups...

Intersting. Now if I can figure out where he got those... The prices look less than the CBX stuff, plus I can do one axis at a time and keep the budget happy....
The 15/16 and 1" end mills I am using have 3/4" and 5/8" shanks. I am also using them on acrylic, which cuts a little easier than most metals. Or does that...
I don't know where Rick got his, I bought mine from Wholesale in December when they had them on sale. Unfortuantely they are not now. At www.wttool.com under...
Hi Jerry; I installed the LMS Airspring conversion kit on my mill and I also thought I needed the longer rack......Mine works just fine. I use a vise most of...
Hi Jerry: You are so right, any machine you own is always just a couple inches shy of being ideal. I have had good luck starting taps by holding them in the...
Ummmm, it costs too much? That is my opinion Barry Young ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - sign up for...
Yes, it definitely matters. You should not be doing any harm to your machine cutting acrylic with big cutters unless the rattling from an interrupted cut makes...
Looking at your photos of the Shars units and what I could find at Wholesale Tools and that other distributor, I would say they are exactly the same units. The...
Hey List, Someone posted this question on the 7x10minilathe@yahoogroups.com list recently, but they were referring to another lathe, but I'm interested in...
I for one, don't know a mosfet from a mousefit (or even the size of the hole.) Plenty of discussion of this on that list, and many of them have MM's also....
I ended up ordering a vertical unit from Wholesale Tool. I also noticed that Penn Tool has what looks like a slightly different version. Prices are about the...
Never cooked any, but here's what I know... MOSFET: stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. These transistors are unlike and operate...
... unit ... find ... depth ... Snip I have thought about DRO's for the mill and considered only the X and Y axis, figuring that the Z axis would not be as...
I bought an arbor and saw myself and I am also using it as I can. Does work quite well. What I want is one of those on it's side. Kind of a more accurate cut ...
Hi Al: Slitting saws do work well in steel. You are correct in wanting to go slow and use a lube. Preferably something high temp and high pressure. There are...
Ed, some endmills are designed to center cut (that is drill) and some are not. In most catalogs they are listed as "center cutting." If not so designated...
I have my eyes on getting a rotary table. At the moment, the ones I am considering are the 6" and the "Phase II" 4" at LMS. I found a similar Phase II 6" at...
These are definitely center cutting. I finally found some information though, on Sherline's web site. They suggest using a rotary table and smaller endmill. My...
I'm looking for a good way to cut stock down to size. The ol' hack saw is just too much work for me. Angle grinders generate too many sparks, take too long,...
I have the Griz 6". Quality cast iron, and mounts either way. I simply had/have no use for anything smaller, regardless of manufacturer. I guess it depends on...
