just installed a mitutoyo ka counter on a lathe and the counter only reads in full thousands in the x but in the y it reads half's so I would like to get into the parameters and see about changing the counter to read half thousands in the x. also the y reads correct as far as plus and minus but...

the thread is 5' long and i do not know of cnc equipment local that can turn 5' plus at one time of that size. so from the answers i got so far: if i set the shaft up on a manual lathe i would use a 5 pitch insert and cut to a depth of .05" with the compound turned to 14.5 degrees and once...

sorry for the time delay, but the job had got pushed back till next week. i will be using a lebond servo shift lathe and i have avail carbide inserts available, but for the 5 thread double cut what insert should i use like a 5 pitch acme or a ten pitch insert? could anybody tell me the depth...

i found out that the thread is 1 1/4" 5 left hand and it can also have a under cut at the end of the threads which goes to the full dia. for a length of 6". but the job is in brass that is 4' long on one shaft and stainless on the second piece that is a total of 6'with the 6" section on that...

I need advise on how to cut double lead left hand acme threads on a manual lath. and the lathe has electronic gear shift , so it will be hard to just index the spindle 180 degrees to start the second cut. yes' i have done right hand double lead threads but it was on an old geared lathe. but that...

ended up buying local because of the price. and if it would have had any dead pixels and had to ship it back it would cost me more than local. and the one i bought is an acer h233h monitor and i like it so far but with my video card i can only get 800x600 resolution. so the max is limited with...

i have a crt type of monitor right now and want to upgrade to a lcd monitor. and have narrowed the search down to a 23" with a price of around $199.99. but i am noticing different resolutions avail in that price range. so another thing i was compairing is dpi tyring to get the smallest pixel...

just a thought: when my son was growing up, i also wanted to teach him how a motor worked. and also show him what to look for in getting a motor to run. so we went to a local lawnmower shop that had junk mowers laying around that would be rebuildable(no holes in the block type of thing, etc.) ...

i have to agree with gunboatba that the mill should be lifted by the head. as i have moved mine several times. like out of the box to a bench for cleaning and then to it's final home of a steel table i made for it. the way i did it was to use a sling of about 1 1/2" and wrapped around the head...

i just went and looked for the info you are asking for, and found it! the article is done by brad smith in a 2 part article . with the first being nov. 1990 and the second being dec. 1990. so i think this is what your asking for. and the total of both articles is 10 pages long and does go into...
