OK. I'll post something. Has anyone heard any more about the new collets for the mill? Does anyone know if Proxxon has decided to make the three new imperial...
Hi Jon Don't worry, if we need something, we'll shout.I'm on other groups that appear to have lots of traffic but most of which can be deleted. I got my first...
I was thinking about buying a TBM 115 bench drill machine until I read "Using a mill setup with its fine down feed is the best way to drill brass or anything...
... The TMB with the addition of an X-Y table would be a good setup for fine drilling operations. IMO, the screw downfeed on the MF70 will not give you the...
Typo... this should make more sense: There are other things to consider, too. Although the quill travel on the TMB is only 1.2", it has a nice drill speed...
Hi The Micro Mark X-Y table is the same as Proxxon KT-70 except for colour :-) And I agree that drilling is not the best application for MF-70. /Niels...
Hi Vince, I have that sander, but not by Proxxon.....( different name, but same factory?) Can you wait unitl I go to my Model Shop tomorrow to check out the...
I have the Proxxon rotary sander. I have had it for 3 years and it is a very good tool. It runs slow enough not to burn hardwoods and fast enough to work well...
... === message truncated === If you talk to Tracey Tools they might still have some slow spiral brass drills. Say hello to Peter, Greg and Tracey for me. ...
If you (like me) are tired of cleaning the inside from of the Proxxon DH40 Thicknesser from shavings then take a look at my website for a solution. ...
... From: "n_jalling" <niels@...> ... Thanks Niels - I hadn't even realised there was a problem, and you may well have saved me from damage. I like your...
... Niels, a great idea to keep the shavings out of the DH40. If you have time, please add a folder about the modification to the group's Photos file. I...
... Yes, I have a few of the metalline parts but they don't show up very often at ebay. The Unimat CNC line is very interesting indeed but too expensive. A...
... Ho Ho Ho, I'll bump it up a little and wish for a healthy new year to all. May Santa or good fortune bring you that new shop tool sooner than expected....

I am fairly confident that I have totally run out of money over Christmas. But just in case I haven't, I've been leafing through the Proxxon catalogue. I've...
... Back in October this thread was active. On 14 October I ordered a 30mm Boring Head and a set of compatible bars from the Chronos website. Well, they've...

Hi, I am new to this group and very new to machine practice. Can you please advise the best way to remove a stuck collet and end-mill in the head of my...
... By design, the collet's groove is captured by the union nut, and these two parts need to be interlocked before the nut is threaded onto the spindle. Using...
As I stated at the start of my posting, I am new to machining and as you mention it, I didn't interlock the collet grove into the spindle nut before screwing...
... Okay, you can completely remove the nut leaving the collet buried deep into the spindle. The protruding endmill should save your bacon. First, spray a...
Thanks pacnwfoto for your assitance which is much appreciated. I did exactly as you said and locked the spindle with the flat spanner, I didn't bother with any...
