    Those things are quite smooth as well! The ones I've used you could spin with your fingertips.

    I do not have a copy of ADMAC loaded anymore, but the tapping cycles are pretty self explanatory. Can you tell us what areas are trouble? If you send me a PM with an email address I can send you a .pdf as well.
  3. Mr. M
    I think SAE Flat washers are what you are looking for
  4. Mr. M
    A shorter boring bar will help. Also make sure it is on center.

    If we get anymore snow I may call ya g

    I stood by one at IMTS for a few days if that counts

    Some wild designs! I like it!

    Use a bull nosed endmill to start with. Also for .07" just take in in one DOC towards the spine of the blade. A raster or flow line toolpath should work well. Let's see a picture of your work!

    Talk to the AE's at the distributors who's machines you are looking at. They can answer questions on machine specs for you.

    Hardinge, or you could step up to an Okuma
  12. Mr. M
    That is impressive!
  13. Mr. M
    I do the same as Zack and use a macro for it
  14. Mr. M
    No problem Jeff

    They are on the "Long Word, Word, & Bit" page. You may need to go Display Change/Menu Change, and then select "All Display"
  16. Mr. M
    Should be parameter #6 bit 0 on the lathe and on the mill #2 bit 5
  17. Mr. M
    Yeah, they aren't as good as a real tailstock, but it'll work in a pinch
  18. Mr. M
    For many, they don't have parts that can be transferred or only have ops on one side. Also for heavy shaft work a tailstock can be more helpful, but depending on the part you can run a center in the sub-spindle chuck if needed (which comes in pretty handy)

    AOT is the Okuma programming software (Advance One Touch) It used to be called IGF. It also has the simulation side where you can prove out g-code. I use it to verify my programs from MasterCam
  20. Mr. M
    There are some guys I know that have never done any pinch turning and very few simultaneous turning ops (which I think they should) but they like having most of the tools they need in the machine at any time. It does save them a bunch of time for set ups. I've used AOT for most of the twin and triple turret programming I've done because I don't have to deal with any sync code issues.
  21. Mr. M
    Using two offsets makes it easier for sure
  22. Mr. M
    Okuma has the VTM-YB line that fits that bill as well VTM-200YB
  23. Mr. M
    I use inserted drills to bore all the time. Helps free up space on turret lathes and can allow your actual bore bars to be slightly larger in some cases
  24. Mr. M
    Yeah, having a vise, 4th, and then any custom fixtures on the plates make setups a breeze!
  25. Mr. M
    A 40x20 size machine could allow you two setups on the table at once and you could do a subplate and zero point system for your fixtures so they could be just popped into the machine.
