Cyclone on Mach
Posted: Mon 24 Jun , 2013 22:30 pm
Managed to find a Denford Cyclone a few months back and a friend picked up the machine and converted it to Mach 3.
Macro for the toolchanger.
Got the machine running today and all works great. The only thing I was puzzled by was when the coolant flows out of the back of the spindle bore it does not seem to have anywhere to go?
I need to machine a few drill holder blocks on the Triac and turn some sleeves and I should be good to go.
Need to setup all of the tools in Mach 3 and try get a part running.
Nice parting tool was in the machine. It always seems to be tricky to part off though. Any ideas on best speeds and feeds for 25mm aluminum?
