I know that this is a subject that gets kicked around at intervals, but in all of the discussion about retrofitting ballscrews on the Sherline Mill's Z-axis...
jchrisj7734, I have mentioned several trimes before that there is a ballscrew available that will fit **in** the column with similar pitch as far as I can...
... Are you planning to purchase one and retrofit your machine? ... Do you have any pictures? Part Number? Cost? It'd probably work with the 2000 as well. As I...
Hi Rich, Would you like to experiment on implementing a ballscrew on a z-axis for me? I am also interested in your delrin nut and steel carrier. Would you...
Jerry, The mini ballscrew factory rep is Jena-Tec, Inc. <www.jena-tec.com> They have a large selection of small and smaller ballscrews. Look for p/n JTm3-08020...
For those interested in home Wire EDM machine construction, there is just starting a series in the Model Engineers Workshop" Dec/Jan 2004 issue. This one is,...
Thanks! I looked at the message archives but didn't see your previous post. I was thinking along the same lines, using a homemade Delrin anti-backlash nut, but...
I bought a Model 2000 that I later retrofitted for CNC with the 8760 driver box and software, since I had a suitable PC already available. The installation was...
The program has no idea if the machine is turned on. It will believe you if you say so. Try clicking on Estop again until the program will let you run. There...
Hello, Hung out with some game playing friends this past weekend. Stumbled onto some dominos. Did not play but thought about making a set as a gift. Is there a...
Tom, A while ago, I got some chemicals to do blackening of steel from a company called EPI (www.epi.com) I checked their web site and they have an aluminum...
Hi Tom, I recall someone discussing making dominos a while back, probably on the Sherline list. I think if you mill .010" or so deep, you'd be below any ...
Hello Alan, I have done some web searching. I am mostly finding sales info and very little of use in fabricating a set. Physical dimensions don't seem to...
For a simple press fit inlay do the following. Drill a hole in the surface. Take a stone setting burr in a dremel tool and cut a relief groove inside the hole...
Hello, The explanation of domino value pairs at http://www.dominoes.com/DominoInfo/Domino_Intro.asp finally makes sense to me. Below is the list of 28 dominos...
... Hello Dan, Is the "relief groove" an undercut so that the inlay holds firmly under a lip? Can you web reference a typical stone setting burr for a look at...
Yes, The undercut is just so the malleable metal expands to fill that and can then not just fall out. It is not a precision cut like the bearing seat for the...
OK...here is what may be a stupid question....I assume the undercut is done by hand so you use a burr smaller than the diameter of the hole. I suppose with CNC...
Yes, you do it by hand. it takes about 30 seconds per hole, if that long. it would be very easy to do with CNC as well. Simply plunge the burr straight into...
To all interested parties. I just got my e-mail quote for the ballscrew that just fits the Sherline Z-axis column. Price is $405 for the complete unit. I...

Hello Dan, Thanx for the lead to "hart burr". Is hart a brand name for burrs or a style of burr? I needed something like that months ago and still do. I make a...
Burrs are available from thousands of sources. A "Hart" burr is a style with a certain shape. The shape is designed for flush setting a round gem-stone. If...

No, that was for Rich's ballscrew part number JTm3-08020. Rich seems to think something is wrong (as do I), and we are re-checking those prices. The...
Hi Tom, Interesting work on the combinations! A factorial with the duplicates removed, it would seem. I think we had a set of double 9s as kids. The site is...
Hi Mark, I believe what could be used is a 'T' shaped cutter, with CNC you enter the center of the cutout, and offset the edge a little past the contour (and...
Hi Daniel, list, I picked up three short THK leadscrews and ball nuts, surplus, with the idea of someday making up a small mill to "fit the parts". I got a...
