Re: Spindle Tab nut tightness?

I don't know the correct torque to clamp it up to, you just get a good feel for it after a while. Needless to say there can't be any play in the spindle, and vice versa it can't be too tight.

I managed to get a replacement on ebay for £15, but if you want an original you will pay a lot for it.

Re: 1992 Mirac PC Computer to Control Box Cable

Re: Cyclone power chuck wanted

saying that i think the cyclone is a direct fit chuck, so you'll have to figure out what nose the cyclone has.

Re: Fanuc Quatromill Conversion

This should be an interesting thread, i've not heard of the fanuc version until now.

Does your version have a dc motor driving the head up through a leadscrew ?

Re: novamill atc retrofit

when you design a carousel tool changer be aware of the need for swarf clearance and coolant issues, as swarf will end up in the mechanism at some point.
