Thanks Bill. I actully do say that. It is sarcastic (spelling?) as I will work harder at the begining to make my job easier latter. This can be done without the sacrifice of quality or $$$. Jim.

Mr, H has pointed out a guy located in lower Indiana. If you need the piece quick then you maybe able to go check it out Jim. Good luck. Jim.

I am going with center to center. I would think that above or below would start pushing the wood in two direction (out and up or down) if there is any pushout at all. Speed will be the most critical aspect for both feed and speed the wood is rotating. The 6 winged cutter should work fine. If I...

I actually like this machine. It needs to have a better table on it. I am not sure though but in the video they certainly don't know how to live turn a handle. Just kidding. I wonder if that A axis can be used as a spindle for turning? You only need to get up to 300 rpm or so. Mach3 will let you...

LG, it is rare to get more than you pay for. I ran the numbers on that machine and you are correct. With out a router, I didn't like what they offered, it was under $5K. I didn't care for the type of bearings that they are using. Now that being said I am sure that this machine will get the job...

John, actually I can understand why Lee would be insultated. He started this thread as he sells and manufactures these lathes. It would be concidered bad manors to hijack his thread. If you have these kinds of questions or opinions then you may have wanted to start a new thread. His lathe is not...

The Clasic has the same Pro taper and same tip diameter as the OB-1 and the Clasic Pro has the same conical taper a tip diameteras the OB-2. Both the Clasic and Clasic Pro are solid core with no foam. Jim.

Zim, look for anti-backlash and multi-start threads. Something like this: http://www.dumpstercnc.com/ These anti-backlash nuts will resist dust much better but the multi-start leadscrews have less resistance than standard leadscrews. This is a little something that I learned from Royce at OB...

Zim, there are alot of choices out there and many different ways to tackle this machine. If you are not going the cnc route then concider making the machine so that it can be converted easily. I started out actually making a cnc machine that used a taper bar. That was ok because I could contol...

Details? Zim, can you tell us at least if you are building a cnc taper, or one that runs on a taper bar? What kind of cutter, saw blade or router with fly cutter? Jim.

Ok John, I will bite. Hows come you didn't just bore out the original jaws a little? Sorry I don't have a sourse for you. Jim.

Willee, we need to come up with a data base that we can post cad files on. That way basic drawings can be shared. I don't believe this should include g-code files as every person should post these out themselves. It would be best that when running a program you know how it will behave. Any...

Bill, Willee is a great source of information. I already have a copy of his inlays. I will be happy to give them to you when you come to visit. He has shared these freely for awhile now and I know he won't mind. Jim.

Thanks Royce, I have as well enjoyed the exchange of information. I am looking forward to helping you at the SBE this year. It will be nice actually meeting several of the posters here on AZ. Please don't be shy. Jim.

Don't sell your self short Bill. Your experience with Windows will go along way. Of course we have only scratched the surface here. By the way guys, I am using a program simular to PC anywhere to work with Bill. We can share the same work screen. I am interested in if Mach3 can handle remote...

Thank you Lee, I concider the matter of the tool post closed. By the way, I ment that the the package deal that AS2z sells includes 4 tool holders for the tool post. I was only missing one holder. Jim.

Thanks for the update Lee. My paypal is jamesbabcock@verizon.net. Unfortunatley they don't just sell one holder and the post itself. Jim.

Lee can you please update as well when the Taig carriage comes in. You will need to contact A2zcnc for the tool post. Here is their address. http://www.a2zcnc.com/ I do not need the all the extra tool holders. I am missing just one of them. You may concider using this setup on your new lathe. As...

Bill, this is the point of this mess. Contact me directly. I will get you up and running. There is no one else as qualified as I am. You where just unfortunate to buy a good machine from the wrong source. Or rather, someone didn't keep their promises and now they are the wrong source. I don't...
