Yes, soak the washer in oil for a little bit before you fit it. It will be surprisingly hard when you get it out of the mold, convenient for trimming etc. The oil will make it pliable again, and...

If you want to cut anything other than aluminium, you're still going to be running at least 3 times too fast for bimetal at 22hz, and even more so for carbon steel...
...

So, now you all know how to fish, what to look for, what bait to use, what gear you need, etc. So while you're off at the fishing tackle shop buying the gold plated specialty fishing rods you need,...

Might do this in two posts, to break it up a bit.

Firstly, let me clarify that I never intended to appoint myself the all knowing expert on carbide inserts, although that sort of seems to have...

1200 rpm isn't going to be a big problem. I've disappeared down the rabbit hole as well, I've managed to finally find some of what I was looking for, think I have some intriguing options and perhaps...

I'm going to call that good enough. You're technically wrong on the angle in this case, but you are correct on the spindle rotation.

Insert was in a standard boring bar, running on the backside...

You might be partway there with angle, depending on what you mean. But there are two parts to this, and I assure you, there IS another variable you choose every time without even thinking about it.

Not a bad guess. Both cuts used cutting oil.

Feeding in the opposite direction - no, both cuts were made towards the headstock.

Indeed, I've said the exact same thing in other threads - when all they had figured out what to make was flat topped inserts, the positive/negative designation was very relevant. (Although the...

Whats the rpm limit on the Hercus?

Definitely grade of steel is a massive problem with scrapbinium, I decided to stretch the legs on the Graziano the other day, and was taking 10mm off the...

Just make a cup. Very easy. I just did one a couple of weeks ago for an ancient crown pallet stacker, cut a bit of leather out of an Irwin tool belt pouch thingy I was given and never used.
...

Snapataps comment about positive rake boring bars reminded me I'd wanted to see if Deskar did their -CF chipbreaker in a TPxx16 insert (they don't, it seems). I mis-spoke in the other thread, my big...

I've gone on a few rants recently about the pervasive idea constantly repeated in the machining world that negative rake inserts are horsepower hungry monsters that need to be buried up to the...

I have 16 holders, and I still find myself changing tools over in the holders every now and then. The more varied the work you do, the more different tools you like having set up and ready - for...

Not necessarily, as I've ranted about before.... I've been roughing with a CCMT or KNUX lately, and finishing with 0.2mm off the diameter cuts (and sometimes less) with a negative rake CNMG at 750...

Given the BOC sticker on them, the bottles themselves are worthless, and I think legally speaking shouldn't even be listed in the auction. Wouldn't be surprised if that item gets removed.

Soon as...

You need to power it up and see what the parameter P-19 is set to to understand the original intent.

My guess the way you've drawn it would be it's set to 5, 7 or 9, to act as a fwd or reverse...

Welcome Martin.

This thread is rapidly turning into an excellent repository of information and reference images for these machines, and it's fantastic! It's one of the reasons I bother to...

Typical, they're on sale now...

I bought one shortly after this thread ran, especially after realising my manuals have worn the jaw tips away considerably over the years (no wonder I'd taken to...

Taking a break from learning German... :D

The tracking and blade tensioning were kind of frustrating. The blade wanted to run off the front of the wheel, and winding the tracking knob in to try...

I've downloaded it, and am working through it, so you can delete the link if you'd like. :2tsup:

My compliments to the gentlemen who scanned it, he's done a far better job than you often see with...

While I eagerly await Tokoloshe uploading the manual somewhere I can get my grubby mitts on it, might as well continue with the catching up...

Although the images on this page of this thread now...

You don't have to trace the shape in your initial setup.... Which gives you basically 6 straight lines to work with.

Clamp it to the bed of your horizontal bandsaw however you can (quick and...

Noticed this while standing at my bench today:

O1 tool steel from Edcon. Looks a bit darker and slightly green on my screen, it's a bit paler blue in reality. As others have said, the...

I started making an outboard table like that for my 7x12, but I used about 16mm thick angle iron. The idea being I could drill and tap various holes in it to allow using the clamp set from the mill...

I did miss the post with the manual, had a look earlier. It looks like the automatic feed on that model used an electric motor to drive it, from what I can tell. Also, part number 27 on page 8...

So, as our new friend has pointed out - there's a honking great ugly box hanging off the front of my table. So I guess we'd better finally talk about it.

As most who have followed thus far have...

For the grinder, I used 8mm round green polyurethane belting, since as far as I could tell it either has to be joined in place, or you'd have to remove the speed control mechanism...

Love the way the front cover perfectly demonstrates the main reason to have a blade welder in the modern world!

That is seriously cool to see all the factory inclusions... Interesting that they...

Told you lot ze Germans were here... :D

I would love to see any manuals or brochures you have for this machine. :2tsup:

You can get a pair (taper + bottom) of new Chinese 20 x 1.5 for marginally more than it'll probably cost you to post one across Australia, unless you have some specific reason to avoid them...
...

I... don't even know exactly what that is, but a quick Google suggests there are 3rd party apps you can use to watch Youtube on it without the ads? Smartube seems to be the common response...

I...

What adverts? :D

I run Ublock Origin on Firefox (also available for a number of other browsers), and Brave browser automatically blocks ads anyway. The internet is SO much tidier without ads -...

Don't necessarily discount the other option to 12mm carbide, which would be bigger HSS roughers, 16-20mm. I finally managed to find some in roughly the same price range (seems to be getting...

Recut them with a carbide insert boring bar (if you don't have a grinder). I've done one of mine with a regular old CCMT insert for exactly the same reason, much improved.

I'm going to disagree...

Pretty much what everyone else said. I have a 25mm one, which admittedly is way overkill for an R8 bridgeport....

Was unusable initially, but the old Hercus vise I was using was apparently made...

:thumbup:

That marking on the paper towel effect is quite pronounced if you use it on old cast iron that's rust browned itself (like my bandsaw table) over the years, and leave it pretty wet for...

Machinerys Handbook has 3 pages on calculating thread dimensions. Starts on page 1999 in the 31st edition. Need to run out, so don't have time to make images for you at the moment....

Technically the blade welder is actually single phase, just at 415v. You can run it off 240v if you can find a transformer with suitable taps and current rating to step up to 415v. Not sure if...

Got 4 of them under the Kölle bandsaw, best guess for weight about 750kg. Haven't noticed it moving even when levering on stuff in the top housing, they seem pretty solid in use. Under a bench with...

I watch quite a few Youtubers building tools for their machines of all sorts, and usually am left thinking that's quite beautiful, but really not very useful to me... Things like lathe tool height...

Interesting. That is indeed the other version of the plate I have seen, which is almost in direct opposition to the one you can see fitted to my machine.

Also doesn't make much sense, as in...

I hadn't realised that interchangeability before... However, the badge on the machine actually reads thus:

Not my machine in this case, a picture dragged off the net for convenience as...

Continuing on my journey to establish the best solution to powering all of the gismos etc, an inspection of the electrical box is in order:

405094

Given the fact that the earlier identified...

Ah, but have you realised that one of those two BIG features actually technically combines 2 design elements to give it even more usefulness... :wink:

Did you not see the Colonel! :D It has been running for a few months now, cutting all kinds of things, this is a catchup series. Indeed, as BaronJ pointed out, to paraphrase Alex Horne on...

I have alluded to this one a couple of times, but just haven't got round to doing a thread for it - so here it is.

Of course, the title is somewhat redundant, since in typical German fashion BSM...

This will probably be one of the last updates in this thread, unless I come up with some tooling for internal work I think anyone might be interested in...

I previously mentioned I was missing the...

They do still exist, I just managed to dig this one up after you reminded me of their existence:
