    FS Depth Mike Groove Checking Rod

    Received it today. Very well packaged and exactly as described. Thank you Guy! BTW, the rod fits Starrett, B&S and Precision brand Depth mics. The threads also fit my small Scherr-Tumico but the passage for the rod is too small on that one.

    Methods to circularize large cylinders without a lathe

    Find the large part of the oval, and squeeze it round in a press brake. Do you have a press brake?

    Tapping methods without rigid tapping

    You have to know your machine. Whatever your machine does will be consistent from hole to hole. At least if it's working right I suppose. It will overtravel the same every time at the top and at the bottom so you experiment a little and make notes. Program a hole with a very short tap depth and...

    Tapping methods without rigid tapping

    My favorite are Universal/TSD/Devlieg or whatever they are called now.

    Tapping methods without rigid tapping

    I'll have to dig them out first before I can put them up. The last dozen things I put up got no interest so I cooled off on putting in the effort.

    Tapping methods without rigid tapping

    There are Tapmatic tapping heads for CNCs, nice for lots of holes. Program the same as a boring cycle. I have a few I no longer need.

    FS Depth Mike Groove Checking Rod

    OK I'll take it. I have the groove mics but I can see where this might work better. Sending PM.

    Dynapath Delta 2000 tool probe

    If you are programming off the top of your blank, put your led setter on top of the blank, touch it with the 4.365 tool, read the z- coordinate. Subtract the setter length, and the 4.365 from the z- coordinate, and enter that in your E0x fixture offset. This is with no tool length offset...

    How is that used? I've never seen one in action.

    Which Deckel is this?

    They add the sales tax to the total then charge a percentage of the total as their fee. That might be a loophole.

    Which Deckel is this?

    Ebay does that too. I thought that was illegal.

    Dynapath Delta 2000 tool probe

    The manual isn't making sense to me. Is that a Dynapath manual or a ZPS manual? The language seems sort of like a translation problem.

    Dynapath Delta 2000 tool probe

    I don't follow what is happening, I'd need to see the manual to help any further. I'm surprised Dynapath hasn't helped you, they've been very helpful for me every time I called.

    Dynapath Delta 2000 tool probe

    If you put your 4.365 tool in the spindle without activating the tool length, then bring the tool down to touch the LED setter, what Z shows on the control? If you add the 4.365 plus the LED setter length what is the total? If you put that total (Z negative plus tool length plus setter length)...

    Dynapath Delta 2000 tool probe

    I ~think~ that's exactly what you want it to do, set the tool length from the spindle gage line to the tip of the tool. Then you use a fixture offset to set the Z level of the part. How are fixture offsets set on the 2000?

    Which Deckel is this?

    That is 40 taper spindle isn't it? Looks larger in those photos.

    DOS PC on Dot Peen marker needs replacing, still possible these days?

    Ditto - I searched out the old thread thinking I could point you to it,and then saw your posts there also. :) I think it was Truimage but I wouldn't bet a kidney on that. Biggest challenge was figuring out what type drives I had then finding the correct obscure USB enclosures to fit each one. My...

    DOS PC on Dot Peen marker needs replacing, still possible these days?

    I have the same issue, a pinstamper and a CMM that run DOS software. You and I both discussed this here previously. I never had the distribution disks for either machine to do a fresh install. My solution was to take the disk out of the PC, get the proper disk enclosure and make a disk image...

    DOS PC on Dot Peen marker needs replacing, still possible these days?
