This is how Swiss are still programmed today. At least, how I program them, I can't speak for everyone, everywhere.

I read on PM a long time ago that a guy tried T0 on a lathe and it sent his turret into "fan mode", just continuously changing tool stations. No idea if it's true or not, but it gave me a really funny mental image.

Sounds like a Horn USA (woe be upon you if you call them PH Horn) application

Hey now... YOU'RE supposed to come visit ME!

email orders@hardinge.com and tell them you'd like a set of 5c collets (or whatever sizes you need) but you'd like them to have the sizes engraved rather than laser marked. They'll do it. They've made me all SORTS of oddball stuff over the years, and the upcharge for "specials" on things that...

qpmproducts.com Thank me later.

I say this respectfully: I hate you. :D

Probably me.

For small diameter stuff (big to me, but small to you guys, .5" 3/8", etc) the Stubby carbide boring bars from NTM have done well for me.

I thought I'd be helpful and google it. All I got was your 2018 thread on PM about it :D

Well, as of 3/10/23, he's a fugitive from the state of Arkansas: https://caseinfo.arcourts.gov/cconnect/PROD/public/ck_public_qry_doct.cp_dktrpt_docket_report?begin_date=&case_id=42PCR-20-182&backto=&end_date=

Hit up Bucci industries and ask them.

I was going to recommend this. They work. I don't know how well in that application, but they do work.

Bucci is going to be your best/only bet. If they don't get back to you in a timely manner, drop me a PM, I have an email for a couple guys over there.

As someone who is 5'3... I can tell you they're not made for people my size. It's a struggle to put a heavy tool into the spindle on most CAT50 VMCs because it's too far away from the operator door. You'd think the Swiss I work with would be great for a small guy. Sure, it's nice to be small...

Huh... Doesn't sound that great, but cost of living calculator says it's not awful...

He has a Rebel Supermax Max 3 w/ Meldas 500 control. When he turns on the machine he gets EMG EMERGENCY on the screen. When he pulls the e-stop button out, the EMERGENCY clears, but EMG remains. He cannot operate or jog the machine. There are no alarms, simply the EMG on the screen. He has...

If it makes you feel better, today was tuna salad sandwiches... Nobody wanted that, so we went to Publix and got Chicken Tender sandwiches. Had to pay for my own lunch today. Weird.

You should have seen today's (for no reason) breakfast... The scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon were good.. The waffle was too fluffy though. :D

Well today was Sloppy Joes on brioche w/ sausage soup, and beet salad. The sausage soup was cold. It was a real bummer.
