http://forums.azbilliards.com/attach...d=12327547 54 Obviously you want to be careful to not power the spindle when it's locked down, but for those of us without alot of big stationary tools, this helps make the ones we have multi-purpose. The outer row of 144 holes are spaced 2 1/2 degrees apart, the middle row of 120 holes are 3 degrees apart and the inner row of 90 holes are 4 ...

Bump up for a good guy to deal with.

Why not mount a bearing in the steady rest and use collets? Quick, dirty, cheap, andd accurate.... John

since its too short for full work, you could always use it as a coring lathe? Maybe that and doing ring work and tenon's. Depending on the power it might be better suited for working with steel joints than some other equipment. You can set it up to just be proprietary to certain jobs. Having the equipment to dedicate one+ job to one machine can be very advantageous, as opposed to do ...

I was the first person in the original post to question what happened and got slammed for it. However....I immediately emailed Joe to make him aware and received this response: Thanks for emailing us but we do not frequent that web site at all. They can say all that they want as it makes no difference what-so-ever as no one of any consequence or intelligence reads that crap or has ...

I was very impressed with your CNC in VF. I never asked but I think it was the storm. Very solid machine!!

The following pictures are of our new lathe. It has a full length bed and lead screw for adjustable carriage. We are working right now to mount the motor to drive the lead screw. More pictures will be posted tomorrow.

That spindle bore is just slightly larger than a 13 mm tip. I would suggest going with something a little larger. Ideally you would want 1 3/8"+ spindle bore and 40" or so between centers. That would let you put any part of the cue through the spindle or between centers.

might want to change wtf to wtb, although wtf is a heck of a lot funnier..

Two things are going to help you. The diameter of the cutter and the number of 'teeth' on the cutter. For instance, if you had a two tooth cutter spinning at 2K and were able to cut with a given feed rate, then replaced that cutter with say, a 6 tooth cutter of the same diameter, you could cut your RPMs by 2/3 and still get the same cut. Conversely, run the 6 tooth at 2K and it would cut...

which did you buy? They had a booth at the apa nationals I think.It seemed fairly rudamnety but looked like it will work. But they are not a proper lathe as such. The guy doing the demo did not really convince me it was really good. I think you would be way better off getting a hightower or something like that. I know they are alot more money. But I think it would be money well spent if...
