    thin film between machined surfaces on milling machine

    Sounds like a spot for Loctite Gasket Eliminator. It sets up looking like a layer of shellac when the parts are clamped together. It's a an anerobic sealant . it stays gel like till the parts are assembled. IH farm tractors have used it in place of some gaskets on the transmissions since 1976

    proper way to set z height for face milling rough cut parts

    It takes 8-9 hours a part to do these on the worn out G&L. Ways are so worn part has to be shimmed to cut square. This machine is what I wanted replaced. So the VMC will be able to do this in 2 setups hopefully. We do mill to size all the batch then do all the holes and then the all the chamfers...

    proper way to set z height for face milling rough cut parts

    I don't want to say too much about our part to get in trouble at work. I should have worded it a bit different. the part weighs 300 Lbs. rough cut. about 9 x 5 x 31". the saw usually cuts straight to within a 1/16 -1/8". the clamping of the part when sawn is the problem. They have no desire to...

    proper way to set z height for face milling rough cut parts

    Parts are saw cut out of a very large slab of copper 300Lbs with a very large bandsaw. Saw table has a crude power table and they have no desire to cut my parts to any accuracy. 5 sides are saw cut. Sometimes parts are cut an Inch oversize 1 dimension and with .250 another with none of the 6...

    proper way to set z height for face milling rough cut parts

    What's the proper way to program Z height for face milling when parts are saw cut varying in height by .500". Program first cut as a Z+ height and take air cuts possibly working to Z 0 . Or setting Z 0 high enough to take cuts progressively to a Z- number. Part is 4.5" finish height. part will...

    Problem to identify hydraulic cylinder gland thread.

    Our fork truck mechanics were telling me this week they had a Bobcat Skid loader cylinder apart that hat an odd shaped thread. Buttress thread came to mind .They had it assembled before I could see it. that's the first I've heard of Buttress thread in anything that new.

    Problem to identify hydraulic cylinder gland thread.

    I lay a smaller tap along a thread to get a better idea what a thread is when the pitch is questionable. The 12 TPI and 2MM pitch is 1 instance. the longer thread of the tap makes it easier to see the error if you have the wrong pitch.

    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...
