Thread: Carbide tip parting on Sieg C3 lathe |
03/04/2016 06:19:30 |
Hi Thank you to all participants in the debate of the subject. I have now managed to get a little time in my own workshop and tried the tools I ordered from Arceurotrade. When I part off on lager lathes (Colchester, Victor, Weiler and Haas CNC) I keep the rpm in the range of 300-800rpm. I did the same on the Sieg C3 minilathe. Regards, |

Hi Yesterday I ordered some turning tools from Arceurotrade from the "new" cheep series in the catalog. All with the 8mm shank. But the doubt is still nagging me: Does it work on my small Sieg C3 lathe or will the result be chattering away and biting at me... Nyrup |
Thread: Milling Machine Tramming |
25/06/2012 09:10:05 |
Hi Russell
Thank you for your tip. I will surly remember the tip. I have been thinking of something similar but had not thought about removing the head- column assembly from the base and how much easyer that would be compared to lifting the head off the column and replacing it to measure. Also I have read about the method of averaging the measurements readings of the bar and gaining accuracy in that way. But I had forgotten the method. Surely it was good to get the memory refreshed!
By the way. I have been tinkering with the tramming since my last post and somehow I have slowly
Now I will continue to use my mill and check how good or bad it performs.
Kind regard, |

Hi Thank you for your concern and your comments.
I have thought more about this tramming business and come to the conclusion that "Stub Mandrel" mention: I can't shim the column to remedy the problem that I have.
So the problem must be in the remaining assembly somewhere.
Kind regard,

Hi
Once again, thank you for your answers.
I bought from Arc because even with postage included money was saved compared to fx. Rothwerk and the SX2 with R8 spindle is not available at all.
I have already dismantled, cleaned and lubricated the complete X/Y table.
The machine was, as you might already have guessed, bought new. But as the fright is expensive and troublesome the possibility of returning the machine is not an option.
Kind regard,

Hi
I have now investigated the tramming further.
I'm not done with all your recommended tests, but partly so, my conclusion is that the surface of the x-table were at an right angle to the column but the y-axis motion or traverse were not at at an right angle to the column. The result were that the distance from the tool in the spindle to the work piece were not constant when traversing the y-axis. I wonder if every small from Sieg is this inaccurate or I am expecting to much - or perhaps overlooking something or misinterpreting something.
Yesterday I was milling some steel in the process of making some more T-nuts.
Kind regard, |

Hi
Thank you for you answers. When I get the time (hopefully in the weekend) I must try both the square method and the L-bar method. I think I can unscrew the bar-pillar system from my magnetic base and use that in a collet or the drill-chuck. I'm not sure that I have shims that is thin enough. I have a roll of 0,1mm shim. Perhaps I could use thin paper as shim? Would that feasible?
Kind regard, |

Hi I have now done some milling on my SX2+ milling machine that I bought lately. I have done some measurements to. Using a Dial Indicator I can measure that the "noding" (Y-axis allignment) is about 0.119 degree, calculated using trigonometry from the deflection of the DI (0.25mm over a distance of 120mm travel of the Y axis). The question is: Should I try to fix this. The column is bolted to the base. If I have to adjust it I must try to insert some shims between the base and the column. I anticipate it will be difficult to do and to get it right. Has anybody any experience in doing this kind of tramming work on a SX2+ or similar machine? Kind regard, Nyrup |
Thread: Endmill vs. Slotdrill |
24/05/2012 07:10:19 |
Thank you to all for your kind answers. It is most helpfull. I think I will by a 2 flute endmill/slotdrill and try that. I do not take verry deep cut's on my small mill neither on my small lathe (Sieg C3). So far I have not had any problems and get the result I expected. But - then - the precision demands have not been wild in the small items I have made till now. Kind regard, Nyrup. |

Hi I have just bought a small mill (Sieg X2+) I have bought several books from the Special Interest Model Books series. They are verry good. Amongst the books i have bought is several by Harrold Hall. I am reading "Milling - a complete course" and "The Milling Machine". I have just made my first clamp pr. the instructions in the milling cource book. I have 3 endmills: 3mm, 5mm and a 10mm. In the clamp I have to make a slot 8mm wide. I made it by drilling an 8mm hole in each end of the slot and milled out the in between using the 5mm and gradually widening the slot to 8mm. I am thinking of buying an 8mm endmill in a lokal shop in Brovst here in Denmark. The endmills I allready own i bought at Arceurotrade. But I am not shure which one to choose. The lokal shop has both 2 and 3 and 4 flute cutters. What is the benefit from each? What is the difference in practical use? Why are endmills cutting oversize and slotdrills not? How do they differ? I have searched the forum and found this thread: http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=45899 but I do not find the answer to my question in the thread - at least I am not shure the answer is in the thread. Does someone have a link to an explanation on the net or in MEW (I am a digital subscriber to MEW). Kind regard, Nyrup. |
Thread: Opening DE MEW187 in Firefox |
17/02/2012 08:37:17 |
Hi Thank you for the answers. I have checked and MEW Issue 187 opens in Firefox in my Ubuntu 11.10 installation. The problems seems to be in Lubuntu, both in ver. 11.04 and 11.10. Again in Lubuntu I am able to open Issue 187 in Chromium. The strange thing is, that as far as I see the problem is only with issue 187 and therefor I am tempted to conclude that there is some kind of difference in the format in Issue 187 compared to the other issues. I guess there is now way that I can check this. The only way is if the publisher could check this. By the way all my Linux installations are updated. Kind regard, Lars-Peder

Hi
I am a new subscriber to MEW.
I live in Denmark and the Digital Edition of MEW
MEW suits me perfectly. Now I don't have to
worry about the delivery. Our postal system
in my country is absolutely not what it used to
be just a few years ago. Now it is not uncommon
that mails and magazines is not delivered to
the person it was supposed to be delivered to.
The reduced price of the Digital Edition is
also very much appreciated.
I have so fare had no problems opening the
issues. I have already in this first month of
my subscription read many interesting articles accros
many issues reaching back to the first issue of MEW.
However there seems to be a problem opening the
latest issue (187) when i use the browser that i use
most: Firefox.
I am using Linux (Lubuntu 11.04, Lubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 11.10)
and Firefox 10. I have discovered that using Google Chromium
I am able to open Issue 187.
Has anybody had this problem with Issue 187?
Kind regard,
Lars-Peder
