Bienvenue de Sherbrooke!

Hey guys, I've been teaching CNC Machining for the past 30 years at our local college and the first CNC course is called "Introduction to CNC Machining". I basically cover G-Code programming and a Mastercam introduction for the Mill and the Lathe. All in all, the course is spread out 5...

Presently using Kool Mist 77:

Hi all, hope you are all doing well. I'm presently using the following mist coolant setup obtained from AliExpress for a few bucks: The problem I'm having is that my compressor (Maximum 15-Gallon Oil-Free Portable Vertical Compressor) runs almost continuously to keep the aire flow and mist...

Ok, here's part of my design process ... comments are welcome as I'm in the planning stage. First, I need to keep the spindle from rotating before I can screw in or out the drawbar, so using a 1/4 inch plate should do the job: Down position...

Might be a silly question, but the only way to loosen the R8 tooling is to lock the Spindle Cap with a 24mm wrench then unscrew the 12mm drawbar (see picture). So if I want this to be a "one handed" operation so I can catch the tool coming out of the spindle, I will need to lower a retaining...

Hi all ... Happy Easter! Ok, I'm looking into installing a pneumatic drawbar on my CX601 Craftex Milling machine. I was considering a change of spindle for a used FM30F 3Hp BT-30 spindle but the price was just too expensive, considering I would also have to change out all my TTS tooling. Maybe...

Just to add a thought using the information provided. If the use of a combined 127T/120T provides a speed reduction from 100 RPM to 94.485 RPM, that means that the given metric values shoud be INCREASED by 5.8% (1/.94485) to match the imperial setup with only an idler gear. Using this...

OK guys, here's a little hands on, chuck turning values mesured on my actual machine: Comparing these values to the ones that are on the plate of the change gear cover, here are the metric to imperial converted values: GEAR COMBO: 40T - 127T/120T - 40T As far as I'm concerned, the values...
