Nice, looking forward to seeing the progress. I have a Millport Rhino with an M400, probably a little older (1997). It looks quite a bit like yours less the tool changer.

Good luck I used Hickory and Leadshine EL7s on a CHNC lathe recently and like it a lot.

Yeah I am doing the same manual setup process for tools, I just find that I hate having to change the collet to put in the Hardinge bar and then change it back for what I am actually cutting. I also have a Hardinge bar that has a flat that is centered on X for regular cutting tools that works pretty ...

Hi Lavrgs, hope all is going well! Looks like a good mounting idea. Are you planning to use the slide to raise and lower the probe into position?

I am also wondering if you are finding the probe accurate enough to set the tools and go right to using them, or are you still having to take cuts and ...

Look for G83 in the manual how to do full extract for a second deep drilling cycle.

The problem with this unless I am mistaken is that if I want to retract completely to clear the chips I have to air cut what was ...

For different steps in depth you can use two drilling cycles.

If you want user input in a g-code, easy to do with M224

Thanks much, I will give M224 a try and see how that works.

I have tried two cycles, but if you want to fully retract every time, it doesn’t really seem to save ...

I have a couple of questions regarding the Deep Hole Drilling Cycle in Intercon. I have been using that cycle with a form reamer and I use a high pressure flush down the bore against the reamer and retracting all the way every time so that it can flush all the chips. Once I am close to finished the ...

This is the unused tool post slide mounted as Y axis with a 12x4 ballscrew and a 400W JMC servo driving a ER20 spindle.

Easy peasy one weekend build

Very nice!

Very nice, I would love to see some more pictures and details about your milling attachment. Thanks for sharing Gary.

Well Happy Days here thanks to Marc (CNCSNW) for doing the PLC to make the turret servo work on my CHNC lathe. This is going to be a great upgrade to the machine. It is quiet and as smooth as silk! Throughout all of the testing it has landed and locked down perfectly every time. I might have gotten ...

Very nice, love all the pictures!
