I used the menu to compose a 3/4" cyclinder with a 16" stroke & asked for a quote on 2 of them. The reply was generic boilerplate without any prices. oh, well.
I did get the lathe back among the living this afternoon and made one more of the spring anchors. In the process I was out of the gold colored chips for the turning tool so I installed one from a pack of Mitsubishi's I got after a very long shipping delay, from grizzly. Different edge shape and not 100% covered in the golden shaded coating, and it took a bit more push from the x motor to start cutting. So I set it to take .025", at 700 revs and about 2.4 ipm. It proceeded to peel off some of the longest, prettiest curly-que chips I've ever seem, coils about 3/32" in diameter and about 1/8" per turn and if I could keep it from getting tangled up, 10 foot long single chips were doable. I have never had a carbide tool cut like that before. So I went -0.035" for the next cut. Wash, rinse, repeat. -0.050 made the motor work a little harder, but it just kept going. So I ought to be able to make the last 2 tomorrow. I have some steel formed angle to make the pulley supports from, but I've about a week to make the last 2 anchors before I'll have the motor to measure for the pulley support mounting. The line powered driver is about a week behind the motor according to the shipping notices. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- Find and fix application performance issues faster with > Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance > insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
