Hi Jess and Group, I just recently made my mini-mill CNC conversion kit available again on my web site at http://www.stirlingsteele.com/millplans.html. Jess,...
Gary, I bought two belts (2L130) online from a place called Garage Door Parts. http//www.garagedoorsupply.com/v-belt.html Since belts are standardized like...
Thanks. I appreciate the information. _____ From: GrizHFMinimill@yahoogroups.com [mailto:GrizHFMinimill@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of nyceacres200 Sent:...
Gates has been making the 2L130 belt for about 40 years. It's used on many industrial sewing machines. I don't see them not making it for another 40 years....
Jack, try tweaking the speed adjustment pot just a little (remember where you started). I've noted that sometimes, after changing the MOSFET's (the "on"...
Ron, Now you did it, You made by buy one of your kits!!! Now that I already have the head taken apart to replace broken gears. When should I get excited about...
I was working on drilling a 1" hole when I broke the gears in my mill. I had started by drilling a 3/8" hole then 1/2" then a 3/4" hole with out any problems....
Were you using cutting fluid ? how fast were you advancing the cut ? Was the drill sharp ? Dave P.S. convert to belt drive ...Best $ invested.. ... ...
Yes I was using cutting fluid, some fancy stuff I got a sample has the texture of snot. The drill was brand new and very sharp. Not to fast at all, I was...
Just got one of these. Installed easily, works great. The mill is much quieter. I can actually hear the cutter now. If anyone is interested, I have the spare...
... One inch is a bit much for the mini-mill (x2). You can do it, but at very low speed and with a very delicate speed. If you're lucky, and the drill bit...
Makes sense to me...the fault existed before the mosfets blew so I guess the setup adjustment was sorta marginal. Now is that VR1 or VR2 or even perhaps the...
If you start with a slightly undersize hole saw, you can save time and wear on the mill, and your hole will probably be rounder when you finish, especially if...
So when using a hole saw do you use the arbor that the manufacture sells or do you make an arbor? I already have a Milwaukee hole saw would that work? Do you...
Joe, the first time I used a hole saw on metal, I used a Vermont American hardware store special to cut 3" discs in .500 " thick brass - on an old 4 speed...
It shouldn't be epoxy - it's either wax or RTV - I've never seen anything else other than perhaps a bit of "conformal coating" (Lacquer). Rabid ... From:...
I think the trade name for the crud is Glyptol. At least that's what the stuff was labeled as. I also think that there are different grades. Some of the...
I don't guess it matters too much waht it is, just so I put some back after, hey! Which of the two (VR1, VR2) should I adjust? - or just 'suck it and see'? ...
Chris: The name "Glyptal" (I think that was the correct spelling) brings back fond memories of my first Job when I worked as an Engineering / Production Test...
core... you don't remember Mercury delay line memories then? ... === message truncated === __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? ...
Tis' true ... But I haven't seen any of the SIEG boards made in the last 5 years that had Glyptal on the pots - almost always either wax or RTV. (Glyptal must...
I still have two VACUUM TUBE logic modules from the Athena program <G> The youngsters really freak out seeing tubes that have the IBM logo on them (those that...
Not the Mercury memories but I did cut my teeth on Burroughs B6700's and B3500's as a "Real Live Burroughs Field Engineer". Those core stacks were an absolute...
Man i gotta say this is truly a jog down memory lane rehashing things totally forgoten about. Chris, My 1st real job out of school was a Field Eng. for the old...
Hi group, I have a Cummins mini mill. I haven't had it very long and haven't really even used it. I have take it apart and cleaned and lubed it up according...

My mill seems to be stalling out much easier than I think it should. Is there a setting i.e. a pot on the board that I can adjust to help with this. I need...
