Hi All, This problem, which I think is generic to most M/Ds, is getting sufficiently annoying that I want to do something about it. We all know the cause - the...
Roger, My old Jet M/D has a spring to keep the spindle up. In fact, it pulls up if I release the fine feed. This is adjustable on mine. Check the manual to see...
Roger, As you may know there is four places that backlash comes into play on the mill/drill, rack to pinion, bore size of pinion shaft holes in the head, fine...
Jim, I also have an X3. The fault light does come on if the F/R switch isn't in neutral but the green light also stays lit. Sounds like you need to contact...
Use your dial test indicator. To center before mounting the workpiece, hold the indicator with a suitable adapter in the chuck and dial it in. If you have the...
I am in the market for a boring head. I have found I have choice of inexpensive import or a brand name, APT, Accupro, or Criterion. Is there a real difference...
My Enco m/d has a clutch on the end of the quill handle. I always bring the quill down to the work, lock the quill lock,engage the fine feed indexed to "0" ,...
If you don't tighten the collet really tight the end mill will also creep out of the collet. This isn't too much of a problem with small end mills, but larger...
I am using a Drill doctor for sharpening twist drills up to Ø 3/4 in. Now I need to have the same for drills up to min. Ø 1 5/8 in. Those machines or devices...
Thanks Ron, Yesiree already well studied on the Shumatech site and the YouBuild DRO. My only big problem is a source of Chinese scales in this wee country, New...
Well I don't have one of these mills, yet, but my thought on the subject is to use a magnetic base with an indicator on the quill. Extending the quill down and...
I agree and that is exactly what I do when I need to raise or lower the milling head. It works quite well although it can be a bit tedious to get the head...
This guy sells 8" RT for $179. Does anybody have an experience with him? How is the quality of that thing? He calls it "with indexing" and mention both...
... off he is ... Yeah, making UPS a little bit wealthier, less for pain in you know where to unpack 100+ lbs. shipment, find out its not that you wanted, ...
Dick, Thanks for the reply. I did call Bob, and as there was 55V. from the motor leads to ground, but no current to the motor, we concluded that it was the...
I bought an the cheapest one I could find (from one of the usual places, maybe HF or an Enco sale). It was made in India, but has worked great on various...
Has anyone in this group purchased this mill. I am considering buying one, & would like to know what you think about the quality. I currently have a Grizzly...

Gerry, I think you mean G0519, I've inspected this mill and the equivelent mill at Wholesale Tool, #3006-0080, or #3006-0085 the WT mill's win handsdown for...
... I did mean p/n G0519, didn't have my coffee before posting. Thanks for the info. The #3006-0080 is also 110V single phase which will save the cost of a...
Sparky, That is very good info. It is very hard to find someone who has actually laid their eyes on the different machines. I like the looks of the wholesale...
