|  There's a local guy here selling a fairly new Sharp mill with digital X, Y, Z and power quill/table for 5K. Wish I had the money, that's a pretty sweet deal. |

Found another Combo, pretty good capabilities on the lathe part, not to bad on price , under $1200. EDIT Scratch the above here it is a lot cheaper http://www.metalorwood.com/store/scr...dproduct=80811 Grizzly- almost identical to above, except broader lathe speeds http://www.grizzly.com/products/G4015Z Any opinions ? Shop fox M1018 small Combo lathe Mill Last edited by toy4crawlin; 03-08-2007 at 11:36 AM. |

General advice: Buy as big as you budget will allow, and remember to reserve about $1k for all of your tooling. If you are serious about buying a machine and would like to look towards quality and reliability then talk to the guys on cnczone.com, lots of good advice and a very wide range of experience. |

One nice milling accesery that is affordable is a 5C collet block set.There are 2 in the set ,1hex shaped on the outside and 1 square.5C collets are one of the most versitle tools in the shop.You can buy blank ones to make custum sizes and shapes for holding work.

Sorry bout that,if ya don't know that's probaly why ya asked eh? A lathe and a mill are metal cutting machines.A "lathe motor" refers to the method the coils were wound in an electric motor( I think). Go to electronics and search " Lathe motor" And go to google and search machine tools to learn about Mills and lathes ! I could be wrong about everything I say ....trust nothing and enjoy learning !

In R/C the term "Lathe Motor" refers to a 540 size motor that would be bolted into a comm lathe that can run off of 12volts directly. Usually, you would run the lathe off of 4 or 5 cells (but they run out of juice and need to recharged often). A comm lathe is used when rebuilding r/c motors. These lathe motors turned slowly compared to a 27 turn motor, so they worked well for the comm lathes. And then, they worked great for the first crawler guys. They have nothing to do with lathes and mills that do machining. Jake |

2 minors points: the vice jaws / parallels issue.... when I worked with CNC production machines, we allways put aluminum jaws in the vices (made out stock roughly 1 by 2 by 8 or so) and just milled a nice step through them which made a perfect place for the work to sit - garunteed (sp) straight and level with the table. You could even modify it with a cross cut which you put a piece of keystock into to make a stop to set your x and y axis for doing a production run. The other item is t-nuts and studs set with clamp bars for holding odd work piece directly to the table -http://www.nolansupply.com/bysubcategory.asp?category=Toolholding%2FWorkholdi ng&supercategory=Machine+Clamping+Kits&subcategory=XACT+52+Pc%2E+Clamping+Kit+for+Bridgep ort+Machines&type=False&specs=True like these: but maybe home machines can't use 'em. |

http://www.cncauto.com/ProductInfo.a...X-3V-KNEE-MILL It's great for the very limited production and one of a kind projects that I do. It can also be used as a manual machine and with the balls screws, it's amazingly smooth! I also have access to a larger, enclosed machining center if needed. For me it was a big investment but it SHOULD last forever. Last edited by FL Knifemaker; 06-20-2008 at 06:33 AM. | |
