Hi--has anyone in this group ever used one of these machines? I moved it to my new shop but need to get better pictures of it when I get it settled on a stand and cleaned up. I would like to find some tooling for it and a manual. Davedec 2010 shop pictures to sort 056.jpgdec 2010 shop pictures to sort 055.jpg

Sorry---I sent email and pictures to Tony --but never heard anything from him--also sent pictures of my small unidentified mill but no response---maybe someone eventually will know more about them and answer threads--Dave
 
I have one and use it to cut pinions. I spent $300.00 and purchased an old machine.
Several components are missing so I made what I needed. I made a rod for holding #8 collets
for holding the work piece. I use it mainly for cutting clock pinions. Patrick

Patrick--can you take pictures of yours----and what size are #8 collets? are they real small? --very interesting---I don't have any cutters for my machine and have no idea where to find them---thanks if you can post some pictures ----Dave
 
Hello Dave, I would like a couple of days to get the information to you. I have copies of the manuals, extra cutters,
and I need to get the measurements for the collet holder. The collets I use are #8 jeweler lathe collets.
As I said your machine is newer and more complete then mine. If I might ask where did you get it, what was the cost and how do you plan to use it.
If your in the United States you can give me your number and we can talk. Patrick Spencer Sunnyvale Ca
 
WOW! That is one very complex piece of equipment. I would love to see a video of it in operation.
