    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    Oh gotcha, that's interesting. Seems the power feeds are a bit different now that I look at your other pictures a bit more closely. Mine goes all the way up to .043"/rev, which seems kind of nuts to me, but I look forward to testing it. Maybe in some aluminum... Sent from my moto g(7) using...

    Birthing a New Identity with Additive

    Interesting, thanks for the link to the article. The shop I work for here in Oregon does quite a bit of work for 3D systems and various other 3D printer manufacturers. I don't know all of the ins and ours, but it's always nice to connect the dots between the parts coming out of the machine, the...

    Wow, that's a hell of a contraption, super cool. Definitely helps give me a bit of inspiration for something similar, though not quite as extravagant. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    Brand New QT250MY Smooth Programming Issue

    Just got off the phone with Exsys Eppinger. The lady I talked to said all of the holders listed in their Mazak catalog for the QTN 250 also fit the newer Quick Turn 250. She also confirmed that all of those holders and live tools are backwards compatible with our older SQT18MY, so I think it'd...

    Brand New QT250MY Smooth Programming Issue

    Yeah, they are both VDI 40. My understanding is that Mazak VDI holders are a bit different than standard VDI 40 as they angle the teeth on the shank a bit instead of them being parallel to the centerline of the shank. The holders for the new and old lathe look identical next to each other as...

    Brand New QT250MY Smooth Programming Issue

    Yeah I've just been turning it off, but it kicks back on every time I switch between handwheel, rapid, or home. Really annoying. We don't have a sub spindle, so I'm trying to get a holder for two turning tools on one spindle in one turret spot. Found an Exsys number 7.076.059, but it's listed...

    Brand New QT250MY Smooth Programming Issue

    Yeah, it almost seems like there may not be a key, or it's at least tucked away out of sight on each door. Wondering if the interlocks are magnetic or something. We are supposed to have someone come out for some training eventually, we wanted to play with it and see what we didn't know first...

    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    I have two cherry pickers at my disposal. Where would you sling it at, and what would be the order of operations for lifting and tipping it? Seems like anything about half way up the drill or more would be pretty close to maxing out the cherry picker height wise. I just really don't want any...

    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    Awesome, thank you. Would you mind sending a pic of the placard on your lower gear box too? My lower one has the feed rates listed there for holes 1-4, doesn't say anything about the upper gear box. The highest feed rate on my lower box placard is .043"/rev. Just curious if the gearboxes are...

    Brand New QT250MY Smooth Programming Issue

    Well, haven't heard anything back from Mazak yet, my boss is still trying to bug them about it to see what they say regarding the programming issue we had In the mean time, does anyone know how to get the chuck to spin with the door open? We didn't seem to get any interlock keys with the lathe...

    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    Gotcha, yeah I've been wanting to build a gantry, but waiting until I've got more room to store it first. I've seen your rolling base before, and it's pretty slick. Even with this one sitting on the ground it's about 6-8" too tall with the spindle all the way down. Been thinking about building...

    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    Ok cool, that's what I was thinking. I was actually able to see the the numbering for the four holes in one of your pictures, so I'm set there. Still not sure what the smaller upper gear box does, looked like yours has a placard on it, mine does not. If you could get a picture of that whenever...

    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    Well here are a few more pictures from yesterday, hopefully they came out a bit better with my actual camera. I got the table and the two table support halves removed. Quite a bit of scrubbing and some red scotchbrite on the column cleaned it up pretty nice. There's not any deep grooves or...

    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    Oh wow, just found your thread. That is pretty crazy how many similarities there are, down to the handles, table castings, gear boxes. Do you know much about the Superior history or business? Seems maybe they were partners, or someone copied the other... Do you know how the power down feed...

    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    I forgot about the other pics, I removed the two piece wishbone looking part that has the motor mount plate, double V belt pulley and the flat belt pulley before we moved it. So I have all of those parts along with the belt, though it has a few cracks here and there. The table is in pretty...

    Weigel Camelback Drill Press

    So I was lucky enough to drag this guy out into the light of day for probably the first time in decades. Brought it home for just $200 and am starting to go through it and clean it up. This is my first camel back drill, so I'm a bit weary about removing certain pieces with how little information...
