Hi Matt, thanks for reaching out. I had a look over there but there are a few ads and i'm not sure which is yours. I am specifically looking for triangle inserts. The key detail is when you look at the insert from the side, there is a 5, 7, or 11 degree angle where the insert slopes from the...

I really like the idea of bolting on a piece of round bar. The concept of attaching a round bar or other 'attachments' gives me some ideas about milling compound angles. I have made a few carbide insert tool holders and the neutral or negative inserts require a compound angle to provide the...

Hey folks, I'm looking for some triangle carbide inserts for the dovetail cutters that I'm making. I thought I would check here before ordering online. The type of insert that I need is like TPGB or TCMT... Any positive 60 deg insert that has 7 to 11 deg angle will be fine ... Size needs to be...

Well I got a chance to run that AR400 through the mill today using the power feed. Incredible difference! I'm not sure how I have gone so long without any power feed on the mill. I can dial my feeds and speeds in perfectly since I have a 3 phase motor on my mill with a VFD. I can tweek the...

Hey, I am using the same style of boring bars from BusyBee. I think I bought them from KMS though but they are essentially the same. The only thing that I do to them is give them a quick hone using a diamond stone. I also use a CCMT insert style boring bar and custom ground HSS boring bars...

I see, that would take a bit of working for sure! The way it mounts is the end cap on the mill has 2 M6 theaded holes. The Power feed has like 8'ish holes that you use for mounting and they are located under behind the bevel gear, just like the picture you attached. This one has many mounting...

Hey Alexander. Got the Power feed installed. It did take a little fussing but it's on and i'm happy with it! I has to bore the brass bevel gear out by 4 thou for it to slip fit onto my leadscrew shaft. Also, I turned a bushing to go into the roller bearing as the shoulder on my leadscrew...

Late notice but i'll be coming. Looking forward to meeting several of you. Cheers!

Hey Alexander, I just had a look at my mill and my leadscrew looks to be compatible with the gear (.625 with approx .115 keyway). I should probably just take it. I have needed a powerfeed for awhile now but I just couldn't buck up $465 'ish.... I would love to make a bit of a deal with you...

What is the length you need? I would turn down some of this steel to 4.5". Any other stock that you might be interested in just to have some on hand?
