Hi Davet, would it be possible to email me a copy of the parts list for the FIRST milling machine please. I bought one recently and need a number of spares and have no idea where I can source them. Any info would be very much appreciated.
Steve.

Hello Ron,

I would be interested in a few items that you have for sale. Would it be best to connect by phone.

Thank you,

Learning to arc weld...

Happy to be a part of this amazing group. I'm primarily into blacksmithing (Knife Making) as a hobby but am always interested in learning more when it comes to metal.

Look forward to years or learning here.

Hi John

I could use one of those awesome chuck keys 9mm for my 5" EMCO chuck. I noticed that you don't list 9mm but was wondering if you have one laying around or can get one for me.

Thanks
Brent

Grant Pretorius has been very helpful for me recently.

leadscrews for PDM30 mill - took measurements tip-to-tip of leadscrew (not just threaded area):
x - 35 3/8 RH thread;
y - 17 3/4 LH thread

...very close but there are a number of versions out there...

OD is .925, 10TPI - that OD is what I'm focusing on re: minor differences between brands

Where are you located? ON plate I see on your sled I'm in Calgary....

re: PDM-30 nut stripped; I bought a PDM30 from a fellow and indeed the nut AND the leadscrew are worn to the point of excessive play. Mind me asking where you bought your parts from? KMS sells the machine but gave me the 'after warranty period, its not our problem' speech and I've tried a few King Canada depots but the prices are crazy....$138 + shipping for the nut and another $342 for the lead screw...

Still waiting for switches, supposedly shipped. Will advise.

I hope you get your wish! May we know what kind of factory you are bidding for? Machining business?

On my profile. What can I say, I am most likely the oldest one in this group. Seen a lot of things, good and bad. Also built a lot of things with my hands. Actually Sport Aviation is my hobby. Been to KOSH 42 consecutive years. Of those 15 times with my own handiwork. Have 2 Lindy's from there. 25 years worked in Air Canada's engine shop (Power Plant, Dorval)

Welcome fellow aviator, it looks to me (if that is your picture) you are standing next to an RV 4 or is it a 6 ?.,

Hi!
I am trying to find my way around all the postings etc. It will take a while for an old man, that does not have even a Cell Phone

I've been in the anodizing & plating industries for decades starting at Pratt & Whitney in '79 to Canadian Marconi (BAE Systems now) to QPL for Canadian Space Agency. www.s7b.ca for info & colors in house since there is still a shortage for Dyes too. www.vanisleanodizing.com

Hi, I'm setting up a small Anodizing line for some custom Aluminum finishing services. I'm on Vancouver Island but still looking for a shop for it, but I have a dozen colors and Alodine aka Chem-film also. All of my services are REACH & RoHs compliant just like the EU rules no heavy metals or Cancer causing materials.
