    looking for a Horizontal boring mill

    Yes we do have a Marcel Pegard mill that has a facing head. I use the head to bore large bores. I've never found another mill online like it. It doesn't have an axis direction lever for each axis. It has an axis selector lever and and a separate direction change lever. You have to be very...

    looking for a Horizontal boring mill

    Thanks for all the replies. Tyrone understood what I said. As I said in my first post a CNC would be nice but we are using it for repairing parts. such as boring pin worn 2"holes and re sleeving. and re-machining worn surfaces that have been welded up. No production parts runs. We do make...

    looking for a Horizontal boring mill

    We are looking to replace a G&L 340 HBM at work in eastern Iowa. A simple manual machine is what is all that is needed. The mill we have now is worn out. It has 62" X travel which I'd like to find 1 with 84-96 " travel. And Y travel 48". A machine with the outrigger rails built into the base...

    looking for a VMC for work. What about a Hurco?

    1 thing I don't see with the Hurco conversational programming is being able to set conventional tool path vs climb milling. Climb milling kills inserts when profiling a part cut on a burn table As we do a good portion of our parts cut on a burn table up to 6"thick.

    looking for a VMC for work. What about a Hurco?

    I think I should mention again this mill will be used on simple parts. No 3D contouring. It would be nice to have for milling radiuses and chamfers and such. We have some copper parts we make that are 200lbs finished weight that we mill on a worn out G&L HBM. the part has to be rotated or...

    looking for a VMC for work. What about a Hurco?

    Well after losing both night 12 hour shift machinists my manager is finally looking at buying a VMC. I have at Fadal 4020 @ my home shop. Is a Hurco 40x20 or 50 x20 size machine a good idea. We make spare parts for our copper and brass rolling machines. And repair parts if possible. The guy...

    Fadal 2 tone blue stripes

    Hi Is there anyone that sells the blue striped decals. Or I have found some vinyl stripe material. But I don't know how wide the stripes are and the distance between each stripe Thanks. I know there is a Fadal section now but I thought this would get a quicker response.

OOPS I haven't tried to get it out yet except trying an air chisel rattling on it...
