Eat up the drops that would end up in the bin instead of being parts. Just grab onto an 1/8” or so, let them pile up and swap collets when you run out of the full cut lengths. You can bore a separate emergency collet for the 2 ish inch drops you end up with leftover.
So for 2” bar anywhere from 6-10” should be safe. What kind of collet? 16c? So stick 2” into the collet for max rigidity/ safety So im hearing you want to run a collet because thats whats stuck on the draw tube? Or should I get the broom ready and spend a day cleaning up around the saw? What would be a reasonable length to have engaged in the chuck and how much could I safely leave sticking out? I have some 3" step collets and they're about 1-1/8" thick. In my mill I cut them into 4" pieces and using a slitting saw to part off I was able to step down and get 5 or 7 assemblies out of each before I reached the vise. At that size the amount of time and material lost from cutting a bar into 200 thin wafers would be ridiculous, so I'd like to cut them into slugs and get a few parts out of each. There are two parts in this assembly, one is about 1/8" thick and the other is 3/16", 1.95" finished OD with a 1" hole through the middle, and I need 100 assemblies total. Problem is these lathes have a 1" bore, and these parts are made from 2" bar. I finally managed to get my Emco 220P lathes running and would like to turn them loose on this job. it wont bend before it breaks.I have a batch of 6061 parts to make that I have always done on my mill despite being obvious lathe parts. I do worry about breaking something cause it is so stiff. The working part can be rotated around the Tee nut. The compound gives me Z axis movement, the cross feed gives Y axis, and the carraige feed gives me X axis movement. I used tee nuts into the compound tool slot to hold mounting plate for my work. Cut the shafting to duplicate the center shaft on the rotating cross feed, bolted the shaft to the angle plate and cut a hole for the compound to fit its old shaft into, drilled and tapped the angle plate to lock the compound in place. Near heartfailure at the readings.īought cuple of "angle plates" from ENCO and some 2" shafting. mounted a tool holder and dial indicator and pushed it around. I have a 10 inch atlas, wanted a light mill. 030 cut on steel w/ mine when set up RIGHT.
Docn8as was so right when he said "u do not want a milling attach that mounts on compound !!!get one that takes the place of compound & mounts on x/lide ust me.
