Hi Guys

I'm also interested in a post processor for CAMBAM. Does anyone know if one exists ?

Thanks

Hi Pete

Thanks for the link. I had already found that particular site, although I was put off by the lack of a definite manufacturer for that bearing. I think the banner just said 'FAG and other leading brands'.

I've emailed them and they've indicated they will supply FAG or SKF bearings rather ...

Hi

I've been using my new Novamill for the children's school project ( engraving brass key rings). It's been running flat out for a couple of hours , but the spindle bearings have got so hot I could barely touch the casting. Most of the grease has migrated south and now the bearings sound less than ...

Hi

Thanks for the feedback, so I've now bought the machine.

I'm at the bottom of the learning curve, so its up from here on !

Thanks

Hi

I'm thinking of buying a Novamill for model engineering , building7.25" steam locomotives. Typically I'll be working with mild steel, cast iron and brass. Assuming the workpiece will fit on the table, is a Novamill capable of machining these materials or am I expecting too much from a machine of ...

Thanks

Thanks

Hi

I have my eye on a Triac mill from around 1994. The spindle speed control doesn't work, so the spindle only runs very slowly.

In the worst case, how much is it likely to cost to fix ?
Are there any common motor speed control failures ?

Sorry if this is a bit vague.

Thanks

Jason

Before I begin, please accept my apologies in advance for what may seem like a completely stupid question !
