Thread: Machining Titanium

Only used titanium a few times but I agree with the above. The heat doesn't distribute anywhere near as well as steel or aluminium, it stays local for longer.

Thread: Instruction Manual for Aciera F3
18/04/2013 23:30:16

Hi, I am looking for the instruction manual for the Aciera F3, I bought the parts diagrams and test charts from a site but it's not really what I was expecting.

Happy to swap copies if someone has the instructions.

Thanks

This is what I bought:

Thread: Parallel turning on a Myford ml4
17/04/2013 15:06:13

I've been turning tubes recently that needed to be 0.01mm parallel.

I used a small Myford M Type (1949) . I turned centre - centre. The headstock was a piece of steel that I put a MT1 taper on one end and a 90 degree taper on the other. At the tail stock I used a live 90 degree centre.

Due to the age and type of lathe it took a long time to setup but eventually I got it to 0.01 parallel over 300mm. Further parts have been the same tolerance too. I found 90 degree tapers to be far better for tubes as opposed to 60 degree centre that you would normally use. Also, making a cross-slide lock got me down from 0.03mm to 0.01 mm.

I had spoken to a couple of engineering companies to do the work for me, they said they couldn't do it!
