    Behringer Automatic Saw

    I apologize if this isn't the correct spot to post this question ---------------- My company has a Behringer HBP 430A saw and no one knows how to properly run it in automatic mode. From my experience I am sure I could troubleshoot it enough times to get it running automatically but time is...

    Cusom Toolmakers Microscope

    It's not that I want the microscope aspect with the Keyence laser, I want the Toolmakers Stand part. My company has struggled finding something to duplicate the Leitz microscope that we currently have. We have met with Leica (who now owns Leitz) and they have never seen our microscopes, nor...

    Cusom Toolmakers Microscope

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, please move if needed I work for a company that have been looking for a custom Toolmakers Microscope for nearly a year. I reached out to this forum last year with questions on our current microscope, but now we're ready to build some new ones. I have had...

    I am looking for a replacement CNC Control Keyboard

    I've found a few options online but they are all foreign companies and we would prefer to save a few dollars in shipping (it's about $300). We are replacing a NUM 1060 control keyboard. Can anyone recommend me anything? Or am I stuck ordering foreign? This is what I have found Shopping Cart...

    Looking for a Toolmakers Microscope that projects a 90-degree image

    UPDATE*** Since I received quite a bit of help and interest I have an update for everyone. After digging deeply into this project I have come to terms that this is a 100% custom made microscope, and we have several of them. I joined Microscope facebook pages, contacted Microscope collectors and...

    Is there a way to adjust this vise chuck?

    Yeah I will end up doing that but I was hoping that there were locating bolts to indicate the jaws in slightly. Thank you

    Is there a way to adjust this vise chuck?

    thanks for the help :) To be fair, there are TWO spots that it got hit by a face mill (it's practically all they use it for), so it's not very often.

    Is there a way to adjust this vise chuck?

    The lead guy doesn't want to try using an endmill, he doesn't think he can cut through the hardened steel.. so I told him to just try shimming it and if that doesn't work then we can try grinding the jaws. We tried this and there wasn't any movement.

    Newbie help for selecting Lathe or Mill?

    I can't really answer your question but this is a fun website to browse to get some ideas. Metal Lathes - Grizzly.com

    Is there a way to adjust this vise chuck?

    As you can see by the pictures it has been hit several times by facing mills. The Vise is about .010" off center, which needs corrected. It's pinned to our Mill, so we can't just tap it into place. It appears to have several locating bolts, but I am not sure which ones do what, so I am hoping...

    Where did you find the magnification on that Zeiss? I cannot find the rating at all.

    Looking for a Toolmakers Microscope that projects a 90-degree image

    Really? My partner and I were trying to really decipher what this microscopes use was, but we both were pretty confused. It sounds to be the closest than any other microscope, but not confident. Thanks for clarifying. It does talk about that 90-degree right angle that you mentioned.

    Looking for a Toolmakers Microscope that projects a 90-degree image

    Money isn't an issue, we got approved for about $70k in inspection equipment for an addition to a cell, but we need a time efficient process. We are okay with spending $70k on something that fills all of our needs, but they will not spend it on something that slows everything down. The new...

    Looking for a Toolmakers Microscope that projects a 90-degree image

    I have met with a few 3D microscope companies and they are great, will do the work, but doesn't deem practical with the time restraints. We nearly 100% inspect our parts for specific measurements and these scanners take quite awhile to scan the entire part, and then the operator searching for...

    Looking for a Toolmakers Microscope that projects a 90-degree image

    I actually have been in touch with and met with Leica a few weeks ago. They were baffled by this too. They are partnered with Mitutoyo, which is how I got referred to them. We use it as a measuring device. It has the micrometers on all 3 axis which we can measure pitch and certain lengths...

    Looking for a Toolmakers Microscope that projects a 90-degree image

    I just analyzed the three scopes that I have and there are no part numbers, just a unique serial number on each. Two of them are nearly identical but the third is slightly different

    Looking for a Toolmakers Microscope that projects a 90-degree image

    I spent time at Mitutoyo this morning and they have never seen anything like it. Do we really have something that is this rare?
