The Home Machinist!

your config looks clean with the 16000 0 set, thats pretty much nominal for an inch machine..... alas, Im not exactly sure where the following error is comming from, either its a function of a missed step, overstep or something Im not sure of, Im only a assistant developer on the project with no mac...

yes good stuff, but its more of a teatment then a coating per say, much like an impregenation or blueing effect. My expsoure to the stuff has only been on pre machined parts that requried the coating. I cant say that welding will readly help or hurt a pre coated rod. nitrotec treater web site It is ...

How long did it take you to build the mold you cast that part in, all those intricate shapes and angles must have been taxing. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif"%20alt="[/img]

but honestly, awsome [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif"%20alt="[/img].

at a guess it could be type-f transmision fluid, that stuff has the red dye, a few others like the 3in1 do as well, but they are very aromatic.
my guess is a trany fluid of some sort.

however 2 of the 5 voices in my head are not sure.

I was checking out some perl modules to see if I could find some way to make some sort of interface by which a signal can enter the computer, be counted and then some math to give a rpm of anything. the expansions of this are just about limitless including DROs. If I can manage to get a bench cleane...

Havent had much to say lately, was totaly consumed by war stuff. been back on tracke for a few weeks now and started making chips again. As the south bend project keeps yelling at me to finish the gearing issue comes to mind, so Ive read and calculated and still only understand about 1/3 of it all. ...

Indicate the part in at the chuck move the steady close as possiable to the chuck set the steady rest there to support the part, move the steady to working position and have a go at it. bearing supports are the best way to go, I hate the brass pad way. at work, I use that method for a lot of the stu...

OMG what a disaster. First off, I think the customer will be happy when Im finished making things fit together. He is going to be unhappy with the fact he wont get to get the tap, cause its um, well, not broken in too many pieces. Okay okay okay start this off right and Ill try to keep my wits. NOTE...

Thank you all to those of you had input on cutter design, heat treatment, and method to complete this task. but yes, finally the 3/8 square thread tap is complete. Im not going to do the left hand one because its probably not necessary, and the existing nut isnt that bad yet. Im sure ill be able to ...

When I was gathering info on how to cut gears I ran across this place. http://www.ul.ie/~nolk/gears.htm#rotating%20spur%20gears its really neat to sit and watch the whole drawing a gear thing, its not really on a different page, and the page takes a while to load but holy cow is it packed full of in...

Hopefully it will come with at least one wheel arbor. they have the taper in them to match the spindle nub. and I think are held in place with a left hand screw. as far as grit wheels go like stated earlier a good large grain wheel will or should serve you better then a fine wheel which can and will...
