If you need any full-custom circuitry made with low-temperature-soldering TSOP ICs, Wild Bill can help you. He's got it all figured out. G (Nice, stiff machine, that. If I had room, I could use another manual machine. This summer we build two new bays on the shop; then we'll see.) LLoyd |

"The ruling class doesn't care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake." Malcolm Wallop former U.S. Sen. (R-WY) |

Now, I'd suggest you upgrade your cutting tools. I make extensive use of Sandvick R390 inserts with endmills from 1/2" to four inch. These inserts run great without coolant and make the most of a rigid machine. I've learned to make cuts so most of the chips fly back into the machine whenever possible, but a chip deflector of some type is needed because the sandvick design puts all the heat in the chip. They come off almost red hot. Karl |

It uses NMTB 40 toolholders, which I had a lot in my store, so I am well stocked up. i |

Yes, stuff like "insert a steel bar and take off 0.2 inches from one side" With that mill...you can take off .50-.75 in one pass "The ruling class doesn't care about public safety.
