    Contactor wiring on Hardinge HSL

    I recently purchased a Hardinge HSL and am working my way through the wiring. Supposedly, it was in good working condition, however, the riggers had already disconnected it and I never saw it run prior to purchasing it. It uses an Allen-Bradley model 709TOD, series K, size 00 contactor, and a...

    Surface Finish? Diamond Cup Wheel, Carbide Roller, Monoset

    Thanks for the link. I've seen them but never knew what they were called before. Thanks, also, for the wheel and setup recommendation. I will try them. I purchased the Victor new in 2003 and have sharpened tens of thousands of slitter blades on it over the last 16 years. I was just...

    Surface Finish? Diamond Cup Wheel, Carbide Roller, Monoset

    What I meant by "cogging" is when a DC drive motor turns so slow that it starts to "cog", i.e. not turn smoothly. The carbide rollers that I'm grinding are actually guide rolls for a canning factory. As the steel coils are unrolled and sheared into shorter lengths, theese rollers align the...

    Surface Finish? Diamond Cup Wheel, Carbide Roller, Monoset

    MichiganBuck, Thanks for your reply. I needed to return to my shop this morning so I could better answer some of your questions. The machine is a Cincinnati Monoset and am grinding dry. This machine doesn't lend itself to wet grinding. I'm using the face of the cup wheel, not the side...

    Surface Finish? Diamond Cup Wheel, Carbide Roller, Monoset

    This job comes through my shop a couple times a year; reconditioning carbide guide rolls on a Monoset. I use a Norton ASD 120, type 11V9, 3 3/4" cup wheel at 8000 rpm. Work head is running about 80 rpm. Grinding one side of the "V" at a time. The surface finishes always look like the...

    A1-6 vs. D1-6 lathe spindles

    Hey Guys, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I was thinking that it usually takes me 5 to 10 minutes to change a 10" D1-6 chuck. There's a minute loosening or tightening on each end of that time frame. All the rest of the time is spent cleaning, checking, and cleaning again...

    A1-6 vs. D1-6 lathe spindles

    John, why do you emphasize INFREQUENTLY? Is it because of concerns about wearing out the threads in the spindle nose from years of use or just the inconvenience of changing relative to the camlock style? Also, how would you define "infrequently"? If you normally used a 3-jaw chuck and needed...

    A1-6 vs. D1-6 lathe spindles

    I've owned a lathe with a D1-6 camlock spindle for many years and am very familiar with them. However, I have never used a lathe with an A1-series spindle and I found very little information on the net regarding them. Does anyone have a link to A1-series chuck mounting instructions? How...

    Unmarked wheel; how to determine if it is CBN or Diamond?

    I have an unmarked grinding wheel, or the markings have worn off, and I'd like to determine if it is a CBN or Diamond. I mounted it and touched a broken carbide end mill to it and it ground just fine. However, I don't know what would have happened it was CBN, so I consider the test...

    Monarch 16x78 Lathe - Like New

    Hey Guys, One of the members here contacted me to let me know there was some discussion about the lathe I'm selling. It is definitely a D1-6 camlock spindle. I don't know why, but Monarch made them with only three studs. I had to remove three studs from my chuck to mount it. The stud diameter...

    Monarch Series 50 Model 16 Lathe, 16x78, Excellent, in WI. $21500

    Thank you for the wishes. I thought I'd try pricing it at ~2/3 the price of a similarly sized, new, Taiwanese/Chinese lathe; figuring, which would I rather buy. I have several more pictures I can email to interested parties.

    My slab of UHMW-PE has too much warp.

    Hey Guys, Thanks for the suggestions. Right now, I'm looking for a more stable material vs trying to straighten what I have. In the long run, I believe this is the better course of action.

    My slab of UHMW-PE has too much warp.

    I purchased a .75x24x36 slab of, TIVAR 1000 Natural Plate, UHMW-PE to make a FDA compliant cutting board for a customer. Unfortunately, it has over 1/2" of warp; more curl than I can take out when screwing to it's support frame. I made a similar table for the same customer about 15 years ago...

    Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies. I have the spindle about two taps from coming out. Just need to recruit a spindle holder, so it doesn't drop. Is Alpine Bearing still the best place for new bearings? John

    hardinge dsm-59 spindle questions

    I am working on a, new to me, Hardinge DSM-59. The serial number is DV-59-8756. On the chuck end of the headstock, there is some kind of thin slinger ring on the spindle. Behind it is the nose cap which is mounted to the headstock with three SHCS. I used to have a newer model DSM-59 and...

    sources for foam cutter blades

    Does anyone know of a source for foam cutting blades like these? I've searched quite a bit and haven't had any luck. The knives currently used by my customer are made by Merit Tool Company in NH. They work fine but it's always nice to have options. The blades are solid carbide and 1/16"...
