If you clamp 30 different dowel pins in a drill chuck, you should get the same (or near the same) runout for each pin. That is, in 3 different drill chucks with .003 of runout, holding the same #50 drill, you will get .003 on your indicator. The runout should not be greatly affected by the diameter ...

I've never done anything with farm equipment, but since folks are talking about full-featured horizontal milling machines: Used, single-pallet horizontal CNC mills are not expensive when you're looking at making money off them. The envelopes are good, and the horsepower is excellent. The single tabl...

Glenn-- Is it correct to say that by lowering the feed rate I EFFECTIVELY increased the spindle RPM? Still, a higher spindle RPM would allow me to increase the feed rate . . . which would be very desireable. --Bill No. You decreased the chip load per tooth, that's all. The speed at the perhipery of...

Yeah, that tool looks just fine for the job. When working manually, I freehand hole chamfers on the milling machine or drill press (multiflute cutters only). Set the machine to the lowest speed, and put up a post on the table in case the part spins. I set a stop on the machine head for a depth refer...

I just want to point out two image editing programs that people here may be interested in. Both these are open source (free), and very good. ImageMagick - http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php ImageMagick is a command-line program that will do all kinds of crazy things to a directory of images...
