2nd Grover in Maine

Yes, at about $13k (yikes). Too much for me at the moment. It's otherwise functional. Just have to put long-projection tools on lower turret.

Hi guys, For some reason I'm struggling to figure out why I can't get the spindle speed up above 1000rpm while the lower turret is called up. In my program for upper turret operations, I use G13, G110, G96 or G97 depending on operation, G50 S2000, and everything runs fine above 1000rpm. All...

Hi, my Okuma had a hard life before I took possession of it. Long story short, I realized today the cross slide is cracked. Now in search of a replacement. Figured my best bet would be to grab one off another one being junked for parts or whatever. Also, if you have the X axis big keeper (on the...

Heard back from SMT company, which basically said they don't support the machine at all due to age (1970 for mine). Couldn't provide any info, parts diagram, etc, for the B600 head either.

Neat! right in between my 2... 1951 and 1970 Did it come with the overarm support?

I sent an email off to that company, thanks

On top of the Z axis ways

I've reached out to a couple companies, with no word back yet from either. I've sent an email to: [email protected] [email protected]

Nice find! I'm right up the road from you in Maine, and have a couple myself (1970 VHF-3, and 1951 VHF-2 with foot-mounted spindle motor). Have you found the S/N yet and determined year? S/N vs Yr list: Abene Milling Machines

What's the spindle clearance to table at max and min Z?

Both machines have been sold, and not destined for scrap!

Also, thought it was the vemu.se place that bought abene?

FWIW, the 1" collet that came with this one appears to match dimensions listed for OZ32 collets. Of course, the only source I can find that will ship to US that has an inch set of collets, is on backorder... sent them an email asking ETA for another set available... It's either that, or really...

Where did this end up?

Not sure about coolant, and forgot to mention it's in Bristol NH

On a side note, anyone have any guesses as to how many of the B-600 angle heads were built, and how many S-500 slotting heads were built? I sent an email to vemu.se this morning looking for a couple things, and asked if they had a record of how many of those were built. Maybe they'll have a...

Very true, and I do have TG100 CAT40 holders for my cnc mill (and I do like them). Straight shank holders for TG100 are limited in variety in less than 1.5" shank dia. Not that I couldn't turn the shank down... I also don't plan to do heavy cuts with this head. I think what I'll do is just...

It came with the collet in the spindle, a 1" collet (I think, unless it's a stretched 25mm...). I'll probably get an ER40 straight shank adapter with either a 1" shank or, more likely, a 1.25" or 32mm shank. MSC carries the OZ32 collets up to 32mm... it would take away a little real estate, but...
