Seals can dry out as well as the powder from the cutting process can dry on parts and really rip up seals. Plus the resistivity of the water gets way out of spec.

On the older mits (beige) units...

Don't rule out mits machines. Very good quality, excellent service, and great controls.

Everything implmex has said is spot on!

The one engineers reply was, if it's too lose we'll use Teflon tape...it's out of my hands now.

For sng here's picture from my mh for tap drill sizes for American thread forms

Pretty much...that's why I asked. And if you actually READ my op I had an answer I was just double checking. :rolleyes5:



Sure lol like I said I have 0 experience with bsp :)

Bsp wasn't even remotely in the equation...I've never even threaded anything bsp. Funny thing is, they brought me 2 taps and a similar part that would thread into the block. The nut on the part...

1/8 bsp straight.

It can be a shitshow here one engineer from dept a specifies something being made for dept b but then an engineer from dept b says its supposed to be something else...then we can't get the 2 of them...

Ended up being 1/8 bsp thread lol.

I didn't see 28 in my mh v28. But looks like the numbers match up. Looks like they are going to use a nut to tighten up some threaded suction cups to hold vacuum. I guess npt wasn't good enough...

Thanks guys...I'm waiting for some clarification on a couple things...

The book shows 3/8-27 and R drill...how much you wanna bet the engineer wrote the wrong number lol.

I do, I didn't even think to look there...way to make me feel like a dumbass lol

:)

I have to tap 2 holes 3/8-28. All the drill charts I've found do not have this size. Per the ghuring site it recommends .340 for the hole size at 75%, which is basically a letter R (.339) drill. Does...

With each pass you vary the speed and power settings this helps with recast and surface finish. I like to turn adaptive control off so the machine travels at a steady pace and leaves no marks from...

In Mastercam I usually use a pocketing routine with true spiral leaving 5k in x and y. As lock nut said add a countour at the end as a spring pass...or 2 I usually measure in between.

I'll also...

Was that supposed to be Connecticut?

I'd search nfpa and see what it says.

Short of running your finger inside the taper before inserting a tool and/or cleaning the taper on the tool holder, there's not much one can do. Of course don't blow/wash the machine out without a...

In regards to the title...maybe try to liven things up a bit, nobody likes a boring finish. :)

Thanks, I'll be here all weekend

Where in ne pa?

I disagree 100% with the above. What does it matter if he's spent 5 days looking or none at all? A question is a question, that's what the forum ultimately is here for other than discussion. Who are...

Doesn't matter what anyone thinks really...if it suits your needs that's all that counts. Unless there was a safety issue, which I don't see any.

Ohh that's a good catch!

That guy is a hack on his best day...
