What about a mini endmill with tiny passes ? I use to put my 4/6mm 3 fluted endmill in my chuck, and to take 0.1mm passes. Is it okay ? Can we consider the load minimal and not bad for the chuck ?

ahh vern many out there who whine about that..least you forget how it was done..war effort 40s make a bushing for said drill add a collum to spindle soupport check old popular mechanics 1930s in up to 60s you will find them and being a machinist 45 years plus think am ahead of you

Thanks

Nah i tight my eyes 😅

Thanks

Thats a briliant idea, if i remeber that when making it... But now i think i'll not making because it's become useless since i got rotary table.

Pity about that. The rotary table is a very useful tool. I wouldn't be without mine. I'm going to engrave a degree scale on my round drill press table and that will have a vernier on it! It won't get used a lot but there are plenty of times I wish I had done it! Maybe you could sell your table to a friend. I'm sure it would be very useful to someone who did n't want a rotary table.

Gordon Agent thanks, i also don't heave a cnc machine, so my friend make me this mark on cnc than colour it inside

True, but i don't use them, sure you can.

Thanks

Thanks

Stefan Stamatov booth are chineese, you can find the same (identical) tool in meny different brand, like grizzly (usa) or optimum(EU) or Bernardo.at (at)... But all came frome same chineese factory Just different colour and different stickers for different "brand" My lathe is ERBA and mill is PK TOOLS brand. and im happy with it Just need some fine setup.

I take similar milling machine from Slovakia (VF25L)

George H oh what brand and are u happy with it?

Is strong and big Clone like optimum bf20 (mt2,750w)

I tell you wrong mine is px-25lv mill, it is tottaly the same as vf25L (L mean long table) just that vf25L is blue and mine is red, as i say lot of brand offer this mill but it all the same, just different stickers, colour... Only different on my mill, i don't notice on no other else is konus, all i see until now had MK2 konus, mine had MK3 konus, so i can fit 20mm collet into it, and had electric support by X axis (you can buy it separatly) I got extrem luck when i buy i got used one (used half hour) and got it with some tools (all collet electric support vice...) for 1000e. only fail in this machine is plastic gears. i broke it preaty fast so i open the machine, clean it, change all the chinese bearings with SKF and put in the new gears from ebay.de (some guy make it from pertinax for that machine, just put in and go, machine is realy great, specialy now when i got dro on all 4 axis. I planning to change a motor for 3phase, i use one graphite brush in a year, realy love work on it...

Also steel work good, i know it's not right but it's fast and i take small passes on that cheap mill.

Mukhthar Ahmed thanks, I Got 3yaw 4yaw and 4yaw independent Chuck and can fit it into table without any problem if I need it.

Thanks, i got glasses but only for grinding use 100% when working, for mill i use them when ther's tiny chip...

true, but chuck is much faster, and work good for small forces.

My friend make them with a cnc milling machine, than put black paint into groove.

Thanks, yes this think is work just perfect if i use to cut some angle simply use that table insteed of turn main vice, and than sett and calibrate to parallel again, that's much much faster, but for cutting some radius i also bought a rottary table, review/first test video you can see on my channel "soba rotary table"

linuxmintman yes, I know that's not right, But it's the fastest way

also is the chuck used with a draw bar?

I’ve done it many times for quick machining where accuracy isn’t of huge concern. I.e; where we need to machine a flat in round rod. For some actions it isn’t a big deal. Never had an issue ever with it although I’d never try and machine a full part like that.

Good idea thanks

Yeah I would’ve had it scored as small as he could go considering it had to be done anyways what’s with a few more markings to have the higher resolution?.

I don't understand exactly, but if i understand you want to say that it's good simple product right? It is but since i got SOBA rotary table i don't use this one anymore.

Jupiter 3000 thanks, it' simple & usefull

Amri Wirabumi i got 2 cheap calipers for that kind of job, i don't see problem here if i scretch sometimes with $5 caliper, the proffesional one digital mitutoyo wich cost more than $120 i use only for measuring and always store it in box, i got lot of comment that kind, so please be careful that i use 2-3 different calipers.

Sorry but it's make out of head, no sketch at all

true, i start using them because lot of warnings here

Right, i know, thanks. Actually i looking for some hydraulic one ;-)

Thanks, but that is the hardest part of work (wearing safety glasses)

having medal removed from one's eyes is not easy .just saying.

Check out Amazon....They have a great selection of safety glasses. Much better than the big box store and they even have reading glasses in various magnifications which are safety rated. Quite comfortable and great for close up work when one's eyes get a bit weak.

Tim C I got 3M plastic safety glasses, it's great when I use it

You could loose a finger and still see but losing your eyes can make your fingers blind

I know that but its fast and simply and.... It work....until...

+david brennan agree, but the end mill was so small, and there is small gorce.

david brennan hmm playing the good cop bad cop thing huh
