RFQ - What am I doing wrong?
Why not fit lobes before nitriling? Why not make spline shaft and wire-edm lobe collars with correct offsets, and glue in place for axial positioning using jigs? Apart from most of folk here, I am not a machinist, I come from automation engineering background. I have been in position that in my...- usolutions

Any experience with MR-X6A Endmill grinder?
You can get used industrial one, like little surface grinder with fixtures in decent or half decent condition for half of this fine chineseum. I'd opt for that- usolutions

See-through coolant options
Have been recommended by local rep pentacool wm910, semi transparent, by running 8-9 percent rich mixture good tapping performance, up to 2.5 year long tank life, non-rusting if keeping it on the rich side over 6%. They say this coolant is sample bundled with doosan machines sold in my area, but...- usolutions

See-through coolant options
From primary coolant functions it is perfect for my application, but as I said, you can not really see through it more than 1-2mm in depth at all, not hazy/foggy, but like solid paint opaque.- usolutions

See-through coolant options
Before setting my own shop, i got around some of my clients asking about it. Some did not disclose, some used noname stuff. One location uses swisscool ux550, but it is completely opaque, mills disappear in flood coolant completely. But they are happy with it, doing same stuff as we do, also...- usolutions

Any experience with the Chinese WMT CNC?
Wow, that is a lot smaller than I thought, i was expecting stuff like 1-2mm, not in 0.5 of km total feature size. Then yeah you need high speed spindle. However original machine you posted is piece of overpriced garbage. Seek for full ac servo machine, with iso20-iso30 spindle. And for even...- usolutions

See-through coolant options
Im afraid i cannnot shell 3000 euro to fill 400l tank with straight cutting oil. I am looking for mixable water based coolants. Let me reiterate my priorities in order: Water soluble Good lubricity, good enough for taping mild steel/raw tool steel with coated taps, no thread forming expected...- usolutions

Any experience with the Chinese WMT CNC?
Unknown is unequal no-name. Unknown is not bad, and if done right become household names later. But if you google model name and it is 30-40 diferent chinese companies marketing it as their own highly designed custom offering, it is not unknown it is noname. I was early adopter of xiaomi, and...- usolutions

Any experience with the Chinese WMT CNC?
You are describing golf/corolla, not lada. Lada is in league of its own, even dacia sandero is above it. Please, remind yourself it is 2023, and 1990 is 33 year old, not 15-20. You can get mid 2000 machine in half decent condition, for under 10k if you are willing to wait a bit, filter a lot of...- usolutions

See-through coolant options
Hey II was wondering what are see-through coolants available in EU? I know of 735 synergy, but it is quite pricey, also 635C from qualichem, but I can not find a distributor in EU. Are there any more good options for that? Workload is 95% steel, 5% plastics(that don't seem to require coolant at...- usolutions

Any experience with the Chinese WMT CNC?
Used machine is used machine, and condition is up for inspection. Sometimes you can get a gem, sometimes you can get pile of scrap. Latter more often. However, worth looking at a machine and inspecting it personally, if it is about hour drive away. I wish I could find new machine, even if it was...- usolutions
