Due to recent events, the board has decided that it would be nice to have a 'wish list' of things that would, for one reason or another, make life easier for us. This reflects what we (actually, mostly me, since I compiled this list) think would be helpful to us in advancing our current projects. It should be considered a guide for anyone who has equipment or other supplies they would like to donate for a tax write-off. This list is designed to be a comprehensive listing of what we would like to have, so it includes both little things and rather large things. It also contains some things we go through a lot of, like welding rod and electrodes. So, without further ado:
Machining stuff =============== A third and fourth axis board for a Delta Dynapath 10CNC control. A Z-axis servo pack for a Tree Journeyman 210 milling machine. This is only really useful if it comes with the control board, because while appropriate servo packs remain in production, the extra control boards are no longer in production. A rotary axis servo pack and table for same. Same caveats apply. Sharp carbide, cobalt, and HSS milling and lathe cutters. We can handle Weldon shank mills up to 1.5", lathe cutters up to 1" square shank, R8 shank tooling, and Morse taper shank tooling from 1 to 3. Indexable mill, drill and lathe tooling. Same mounting caveats as above Additional quick-change mill holders and collet chucks for the CNC milling machine. Taper is NMTB #30. A better lathe, CNC or CNC convertible if possible. Before accepting, it should be thoroughly inspected by either Dave Masten or Dan Solvin. High-quality, sharp drill bits for metal. We have chucks up to 1/2"; other mounting arrangements as for milling cutters. Sheet metal and step drills. Same caveats as for other drill bits. Setup equipment such as clamps, T-slot nuts and studs, sine bars, and angle plates. I'd particularly like some edge clamps A tilting rotary table A tapping attachment for the CNC mill (NMTB #30 taper). Dial indicators, including mounts and magnetic bases Edge and center finders Micrometers Vibratory deburring machine. DA 30 Collets Cut off saw or cold saw Bench grinder with stand Metal Stock =========== Aluminium from the 2xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx series, in large, usable pieces, clearly marked with the alloy designation. All shapes, including round, square, and rectangular tube of various sizes. 3xx SS. Same caveats as above apply. Inconel or other weldable, machinable high-temperature alloys. Must be clearly marked. Unistrut Machinable ceramics, such as Macor. Hardware ======== SS Swagelok (or clone) fittings, valves, ferrules, and nuts. Any quantity (within reason!), any size up to 1" or so. We would especially like ones in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". Unistrut hardware, including slide nuts, angle plates, pipe clamps, etc. High quality, well-sorted assortments of cap screws, bolts, nuts, washers, etc. Welding ======= A smaller air-cooled TIG torch, compatible with our machine. Pyrex TIG cups, compatible with the torch we have or bundled with another torch. If you have some to give, contact me for specs. Tungsten electrodes for TIG. Must have colored band intact or at least visible. 1/16" or 3/32", plain or thoriated (green or red band) preferred. TIG rods in Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Mild Steel An electrode grinder. A MIG machine A Plasma Cutter Power Tools =========== air ratchet 18V cordless drill for the Ranch Ranch air compressor 1/4" shank burrs and grinding stones _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
