Cue Monster CNC F/S with extras $6500

With the advent of CNC and as cheaply as it has become a person would be absolutely foolish in investing any money in a stand alone shaft tapering machine that is not CNC. They can be had for nearly the same price and you could then have 10,000 different tapers instead of being locked into only one with out major time and testing procedures. I've got two saw type shaft machines that do a splendid job of tapering but to difficult to change tapers, will be scrapped as soon as I get my CNC 4 shaft saw machine completed. Only way to go.

The great thing about manual taperer though Dick, with 9/16 20 screw, it's pretty easy to dial in to the final size ( say .002 over final size ) .
If your cnc can hold that, I'd really wanna know your controller.:thumbup:
 
joe gets the "cleanest shop in ohio" award
i think it's a tossup between me & dickie for "the messiest shop award":thumbup:
but i like to think of it as "organized chaos"

Obviously you haven't been by my shop lately!
 
Just to let everyone know I am trying to get a few videos of the machine doing a part and pocket.

Joey,

Holding a tolerance to within a couple of thousandth's should be no problem for most any CNC controller. With 10 TPI lead screw and micro stepped motors, you are looking at 16000 steps per inch, or .0000625" step resolution. From there it's all about backlash and how tight your machine is.

Actually this machine has a Gecko drive and has 20000 steps per inch inconjunction with kerk motion lead screws and antibacklash lead screw nuts. This machine holds very tight tollerences.

Mine has a Xylotex controller, 16 MM THK ballscrew/actuators with no backlash.

Good luck on the sale JB.
That's a real nice machine.
