    Need help! Hardinge VMC 1000ii Fanuc OMD control slows down on all arc moves.

    Does it do the slowdown even on larger radius arc's (like say a 5" (125 to 130mm) radius or above)or possibly not slow down as much on the larger arcs?

    Floating Brake Rotor Hats and distortion after maching

    Haha, yeah, no road salt here in Florida! :D While this car is still technically street legal, it is mainly a track car that is rarely driven on the streets except to car meets from time to time or in the rare even that its the only car I have to drive at the moment and have to get somewhere.

    Floating Brake Rotor Hats and distortion after maching

    Yeah, I get what you're saying. That photo is just something I found on via Google just to illustrate what I'm looking at making for anyone who is wasn't understanding my explanation. Also, I wasn't planning on Hard Coating them, just regular Type II. I do wonder if the fact that I'll be...

    Floating Brake Rotor Hats and distortion after maching

    That was part of my thought too. There is enough axial float (0.5mm to be exact) designed in that even if it were to bell / distort a few thou, it shouldn't cause any issues. I'm just concerned of it distorting much more than a few thou.

    Floating Brake Rotor Hats and distortion after maching

    I am still playing around with ideas for the flip / reflip without loosing positioning. Even if it doesn't distort, I still feel that this would just be extra insurance since I dont like to throw away time or material. Funny you mention the Wilwood stuff. The is actually to replace Wilwood...

    Short back story, most of my experience is in sheet metal and tubular structure fab with little machining from scratch (although have been using a Mill for other work for probably 10 to 12 years now just not much machining complete parts from raw material especially round parts from round...

    Adventures converting Prototrak MX2 from Floppy Drive to USB

    Our M2 system only has a single FDD (although I did notice that there is a port on the motherboard for a second drive but not sure if its configured to be used by the software or not). On your system, can you select which drive you want to save on? If so, then you could most likely replace...

    Adventures converting Prototrak MX2 from Floppy Drive to USB

    I see there was never a Write-up on getting older ProtoTRAK's to work with Emulators. Short back story, the company I work for (primarily a Welding and sheet metals shop) just picked up an old ProtoTRAK K3 knee mill that has the M2 system on it (mill is in good shape minus a few bearings in the...
