Bryan, Thank You, very mucho...

I love my IT guy's... they can do no wrong, and when I screw things up they are stevo on the spot.

sorry, double post...

O/T does anyone have a manual for a cuttermaster cutter grinder. we have a brand new one in the shop and nobody knows how to use it... the manual disapered. specificly for the radius attachment, an endmill is easy to grind.

Cory, good luck on your new venture.

I was having the same problem. I simply run ramsaver and regen my solid. I havent lost any files since I started doing this. but I did loose quite a few before...

What kind of CMM is it? so many to choose from...

I have started two sucessful machine shops, the first I started in my garage with a Hurco KMB1M cnc mill and a Excello manual mill. It grew to 22 CNC's and 64 employees. the second was a smaller version of the first... I sold out 4 years ago and now work for a pay check. and wishing I was still in business for myself. Go for it... if you have the salt.

My favorite cutting fluid on copper is A-9.it's green and messy but it really works great.

what grade? OFE or some alloy and is it dead soft or aged i.e. 1/4 or 1/2 hard. dead soft is by far the worst it gets better with age... when drilling take most of the releif out... or it will grab. I never use split points on copper. as far as feeds and speeds, use about 75% of what you would use for aluminum.

this is the kind of opportunity I am looking for.

I am making Reservations now... and taking hula lessons...

lips and bits... you guys are funny
