    Abene B-600 right angle attachment

    FWIW The collets that came with my head are labeled 3030 . The ISO 40 collet chuck that came with is labeled Lofab 3030 . I haven't looked for a while but never did find much if any ref. for 3030 collets. I think they were talked about on PM years ago . Re . the B500 slotting attachment. There...

    Abene B-600 right angle attachment

    Hello Pianoman It is correct that the plain nose ring is the same od. as the threaded ring . Though that may depend on the vintage of your machine. The plain ring on my machine is pretty hard but with the right tool I'd say theading would be possible . It would not be a big project to machine...

    Replacement Spindle for Abene VHF-3BS

    Thanks for that confirmation Ballen . Actually I dug up a thread from 2016 yesterday where you shared the same info . So if it's good enough for Mr. Singer it's good enough for me. I guess the name of the game is to check the gears frequently Ted

    Replacement Spindle for Abene VHF-3BS

    Thank you Plastiko I'll look into both the Molyslip and the Shell Gadus. Also thank you Orbital for the warning re. MoS2 . I did speak with Howard at Kluber . He said to try Kluber NBU15 . Actually it says on the NBU15 write up that it can be used for bevel gears in milling machines . I might...

    mori seiki MS850G

    OK . This is how the flow adjustment works . Remove the cover plate from the dovetail on cross slide (4 screws. ) There is a brass plug with a screw driver slot and a hole through the center . This plug allows the oil to return to the sump . The farther out or higher it is the more oil will flow...

    mori seiki MS850G

    Remove the cover plate on the cross slide dovetail. Move the carriage back and forth several times . You will see how much oil is pumping up into the oil grooves and onto the ways . I haven't looked for the adjustment screws . If the passages are plugged it may be as simple as a pipe cleaner or...

    Replacement Spindle for Abene VHF-3BS

    This is an interesting project and worth the effort and expense depending on the condition of the rest of the machine .I look forward to hearing about the progress . When you see the amount of metal that is missing from the drive gears it's a surprise that the spindle bearing is still good as it...

    oil foaming in milling machine gear box

    Thank you all for the input . The oil I'm using is Shell tellus s2 mx 46 (hydraulic) . I'm not bothered by the foaming unless it's causing damage . Read lots of horror stories ,though related mostly to hydraulic systems . It's hard to believe it's not getting enough lubrication given the oil...

    Abene VHF-3BS Spindle Removal

    I just did my spindle though not a quill type. That nut looks like it is the captive nut for the draw bar which on mine is a left hand thread which was very tight . Mine of coarse is a different design so can't say for sure what you've got there . Ted

    oil foaming in milling machine gear box

    Changed the oil in my milling machine gear box . It's a splash system no pumps or filters . (Abene) The manual calls for shell telus 29 which is now shell telus 46 which is what I put in. Seems a little light to me . In any case it is foaming , building up right away on start up. I called Shell...
