If I am placing this in the wrong forum location please let me know.
I am looking for anyone that owns one of these machines that can lend me a hand. I recently purchased one used and the mill runs fine and makes great cuts. The problem I have is understanding the use of the micrometer fixture and tool cutter. I don’t understand how to use these and the directions are way to simple (or maybe I am?)
If I am taking .010 out of a cylinder and this micrometer is a direct read, I should be able to put in .010 ( the directions say there is no need to use any math). That makes no sense to me since you obviously are only taking half of that per side.
Anyway, even if I do it both ways my practice cylinder still comes out at the wrong dimensions. If someone owns one of these and would PM me and be willing to talk about this, I would very much appreciate the help. Thank you.
