    Process of transforming wire cutting machine tools（2023.03.18）

    Process of transforming wire cutting machine tools In August 2022, I bought a second-hand wire-cutting machine tool, which has been out of the factory for a long time and is very dirty and old. The operating system X8 has been replaced (paid to be replaced), but many components have been aging...

    China uses (metric) meters, which I roughly converted to: 3.28 feet =1 meter. My garage is about 7M by 7m (23 ft by 23 ft), there's another garage 12 ft by 20 ft that I use to install the machine tools, and there's some extra space that I can use to make shelves for materials, parts or whatever...

    Can you tell me something about Canadian DIYER, about (on average) how much space they (you) can use as a mechanical studio? Can you build your own studio in your own backyard?

    It is the most critical to make a good design and quickly put it into the actual production. When you make the first improvement, you will find its defects, and the production will be gradually perfect after modifying the design. I used to do ---- first

    reiden-T200, Improved Middle Drag Handwheel (Adds Subdivision gear)

    When you actually implement it, you will find that it is not a good idea. The best solution is to start with the gear, design a completely suitable internal gear ring structure, and manufacture it perfectly! When I have enough time, I will upgrade and finish it again!

    I don't think I understand your intention! I use second-hand retarders, which are sold in many places in China. Do you mean to ask me: Are there more retarders in my warehouse? I have a lot. I have prepared more of these parts for DIY. I can even send some to you, but the freight is a big problem!

    reiden-T200, Improved Middle Drag Handwheel (Adds Subdivision gear)

    I don't think it's necessary to disengage, because you can replace the grease with a smaller viscosity to reduce the resistance, and you can also increase the diameter of the handwheel to increase the force. You can ignore the drag unless you're spinning it really, really fast!

    Sourcing Metal | General Discussion

    I feel at home in this post. 8 years ago, we were also keen to patrol metal dumps looking for cheaper metal materials or parts. It was a happy time.

    I have another lathe in my studio, the East German wmw200-500. I got it in June 2015, but it was out of order. It opened my road to repair, and I also began to learn the knowledge of circuits. After a long inspection, find a fault, replace a rectifier bridge, and then find another fault: no...

    reiden-T200, Improved Middle Drag Handwheel (Adds Subdivision gear)

    I don't think I'm bound by rules, and I like to change structures or features of devices that I don't think are convenient enough. There is some resistance when feeding fast, but it also provides some damping, which makes it easier for the middle drag plate to stay stable when working with...

    My reiden Lathe Fast Tool Rest, Add Some Boxes (2021.06)

    My own opinion: the locking direction of the dovetail is jacking, which is opposite to the direction of the cutting force. When the cutting force is a lot, there must be a small amount of displacement, because there is enough displacement space. All four faces of the V slot are fitted to the...

    I remeasured it 3 hours ago and confirmed that the distance was 99.70mm, which made it very strange. Does it distinguish between the Asian and American versions? 86.67+112.69=199.36mm/2=99.68mm，So 99.70 is an accurate number, we are all confused, I hope the friends who have this tool holder to...

    I have tried both manual and electric CNC, but it is a little strange. It can only use simple programming, such as punching holes. I chose to peck holes for programming, and then do other programming. Besides, I was not familiar with the characteristics of metal and cutting tools, so the process...
