Author Message   Dsergison Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 01:48 pm:        With diligent care and feeding perhaps by mid spring it will start to grow money? At least some cool parts for my own bike. who knows maybe someday some things will show up on American Sport Bike or something?   P0p0k0pf Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 01:58 pm:        verrrrry nice! With some luck, I'll have CNC capability on my Shoptask sometime this year... It definitely won't turn out the kinda work your Tree will, so I'm anxious to see what you make!   Steve_mackay Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 02:34 pm:        DUDE! If I didn't have 7 vertical machining centers at my disposal(I work 4 miles from my house to boot!), I'd be jealous... Heck, I still am jealous! Good idea with the tooling plate, keep the table clean. But make sure you have properly lubricated the table before mounting that tooling plate! And make sure you use some decent coolant that plays well with aluminum. The coolant we use is NOT very good for aluminum(we cut mostly hardened too steels with H13, P20, D2, and S7).   M1combat Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 02:38 pm:        I was looking at C&C mills on E-Bay the other day... DAMNIT... One more thing on the list...   Steve_mackay Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 02:38 pm:        Also, may I ask what you paid for it? Also, have fun writing a post for that Delta 10/20 control If you've never ran a Autocon control, keep in mind, cutter comp is kinda icky on it... Nothing like Fanuc, Haas, Fadal, etc... And nothing like Fidia, which looked ahead 80 lines, and didn't error out when cutting a .499" radii with a 1" cutter. It would just compensate the way it's supposed to!   Whodom Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 03:17 pm:        Only problem with those things is they "shed" 12 months a year instead of just in the fall. Nice....   Dsergison Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 03:40 pm:        I bought 18 various cat40 tool holders and the mill with the manuals and such for around $7,000. It was an extraordinary deal IMHO.   Steve_mackay Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 03:42 pm:        VERY good deal for that type of mill.   Dsergison Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 03:44 pm:        I need to put it in my 14x30 shop in the basement. I have a walkout but I need to grade 4 feet down and put in a new set of double doors into the shop room rather than the family room. and remove a black wallnut tree that's too close to the house. and move my central air conditioner. (that pic is in the previous owners shop)   Djkaplan Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 04:45 pm:        Sigh... My machine shop consists of a drill, two files, a broken grinder, a hacksaw, and a little vise. Sigh...   Mikej Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 05:08 pm:        From small seeds great trees grow. Use what you have, do what you can.
