If you cast a bock like this it would have hollow sections everywhere due to shrinkage

Peter

Much depends on the blaster Have your customer order them at that blaster You can do the machining for the blaster The rest is up to them

And then mill out tbe most part Easier to cast it from the beginning in shape...

I am very well aware of that But none of the forkliftoperators know that
If there is space underneeth they lift it with the forks under the machine
I just now read he is hauling it himself

Peter

2 pc of wood bolted under the machine will only help in transport It does nothing when you lift the machine with a forklift
You still have to lift it on the narrow base making it easy to tumble...

Nice job on the toolholders
On the video I see the carriage reverses when hitting the endstop
But without rectracting the crossslide
That will mark your workpiece

Peter

Wich Hembrug do you compare this machine with ???
One of the modern hard turning machines or one of the AI Hembrug manual lathes??

Peter

Noise is probably from the 3 gears that transfer power from the long gear to the angle head
Not too expensive at Singer About €650 IIRC
When you are at it make a extra lubrecation point to get...

Perhaps a oversized hole and a longer bolt will work with tapping

Peter

Without knowing the centre to centre distance and dimensions of the other gear its playing in the dark


Peter

I do that sometimes, use the pictures of the place I bought it from It speeds up the proces

The problem is if you are to quick with thinking it is fraudulant you can miss on those good deals ...

I buy the more expensive stuff. Not much to gain for a scammer in some tooling. I got scammed on a Schaublin 70
The problem is that if it is legit I have to buy it fast Otherwise I am too late I...

I thought so too But scammers also learn

Peter

I hold the roller at a angle to smear it out It still rolls a bit Then spread with the roller at normal position

Peter

For better aiming try a smaller radius on the cutting edge
Do you have a diamond grinding stone to grind ?? Need that as a minimum Better is also a lapping wheel
Green stone is not gonna work
...

Nearby is a compagnie with big machines They did just the opposite
Added a 35kw milling head to their 14.5 mtr 145kw VTL as milling is much faster as turning

How about wearing safety glasses using a cold saw
I don`t But at a big facility I worked you had to
About gloves I only wear them when it is sharp or hot
Not when it is dirty And never ever on...
