*cough* *cough* Fixed that for you there Nick
Congrats! You got it! I was surprised they used a Cat to load that. Very cool though. I thought you were getting a bridgeport?
it is an old model, but its american made and the company still services them, parts are still very available....
So is Toyota, look what's happening to them
a brief search of index shows a huge following of people that say they are a better machine than bridgeports... .
only drawback is its a brown and sharpe #9 taper collet system which i will work w/ for a short while then send my quill off to be reground for r8 collets for around 250 bucks.
If you had a second mill....couldn't you do this yourself? Thats loaded with irony BTW
Yeah! Go back and buy that Bridgeport!
have you tried wholesale tool in indy? i think they are on hana just east of 31I want a whole set of collets graduated in 1/64th increments up to 1 inch. I have a (quick change?) collet holder? its whats on the machine in the video....
i also need a drill chuck, if you can find one quickly, otherwise i will make one myself with a 1/2 inch shank to jacobs number 2 (or possibly 3) taper.
its a brown and sharpe #9 taper.
LLDJR... what do you mean by table runout? backlash was around .35 in the center, and less on the edges.
