Cheaper alternative to Schunk Vero S
Saunders Machine Works has their version called the 'Puck Chuck' coming out fairly soon. Looks very similar to the Vero-S and is going to be priced <$1k each.- Paul Bird

Set okuma genos M560 probe tool
Just went through recalibrating my spindle probe after braking the tip. Took the time to recalibrate the toolsetter when I did. There is nothing I found more helpful than this Gosiger West video: -

New Machine Day and Okuma M560-V vs. 8ft tall garage door
Yes. Been making prototype parts for a couple months. The M560 is working great and I am learning daily. Issues I am having are: Chips. I underestimated the amount. I can fill a 50 gallon trash can in just over 1 hour of cutting time! And yes, I am using roughing cutters to reduce the chip...- Paul Bird

New Machine Day and Okuma M560-V vs. 8ft tall garage door
I will likely end up with quite a few Maritool holders (er, side lock, face mill, slitting saw and maybe hydraulic) and a few Big Daishowa holders for finishing tools and for sure one of their boring tools. When I built my little cnc mill I went hog wild buying Tormach TTS holders and end...- Paul Bird

New Machine Day and Okuma M560-V vs. 8ft tall garage door
The wiring goes 2/0 copper from the main panel underground to a 200 amp fused disconnect that has 200 amp slow blow fuses. From there 12 inches to the Phase Perfect. From the PP it runs 40 feet via 4 gauge copper through the garage attic strait to into the Okuma. Power then gets fed from the...- Paul Bird

New Machine Day and Okuma M560-V vs. 8ft tall garage door
I've just begun tooling up. I currently have 3 ER 16, 3 ER 32 and 4 side lock holders all Big Plus and all from Maritool. In concept, I really like the Rego Fix system but at this point I feel like I am hemorrhaging $1k bills like Hunter Biden on a bender. So high end holders will be put on the...- Paul Bird

New Machine Day and Okuma M560-V vs. 8ft tall garage door
10 feet wide will work. Without taking parts off you will need just under 9 feet. The z motor (pic is attached) is the only thing challenging to remove and that is because it weighs close to 70 lb. For scale vs. a nmea 34 clearpath motor off the PM Mathews cnc build in my basement.- Paul Bird

New Machine Day and Okuma M560-V vs. 8ft tall garage door
I had an civil engineer friend look at it and he laughed at 16". With that, once I cut out the original concrete it was just a matter of shoveling out the super fine gravel (three feet of it) under it. So it wasn't much more work to get to their "recommendation." I also had one of my two in...- Paul Bird

New Machine Day and Okuma M560-V vs. 8ft tall garage door
I rebuilt my garage 10 years ago from a 20x22 foot 2 car to a 3400 ft2 shop. At that time I had new underground service put in with a 400 amp service. That was smart. The concrete for the shop was put on top of 2" of rigid foam insulation. That wasn't smart for this. So I had to cut out and...- Paul Bird

New Machine Day and Okuma M560-V vs. 8ft tall garage door
Got my first real machine last week and in spite of what many, many people said, the M560-V can make it under an 8ft. tall garage door. Gosiger sent a tech to remove the Z axis motor and the rigger simply removed the sheet metal guard on the side and removed and set over the towers that route...- Paul Bird
