[Emc-users] 7mmx1.0 decently hard cap screw, how scarce are they?

Greetings all; Trying to hold a 10" diamond saw blade yesterday, tight enough to keep it from slipping, I striped out the 6mm threads in my arbor. So today I bored it gently out to around .230" or 15/64's and re-tapped that to 7mm x1.0. It wasn't until I was cleaning that up that I realized

You might give Clonezilla a try. Burn it to a USB drive, Boot from that drive then generate an image on another USB, hard drive, or whatever. Checkout clonezilla.org for details. It can also work over a network, but the devil is in the details, as always. The resultant drive should be

The denford starturn has the switch on the saddle and a sliding member gripping the bed just visible under the chuck to the rear http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2009/2009_09_10_Starturn_cnc_lathe/P1010045.JPG So you can put it where you need for a setup Dave Caroline

[Emc-users] Lathe limit puzzle

I am trying to figure out where to put the limit/home target on the Z axis of my lathe. The saddle can get all the way to the headstock if I am using the collet chuck, though it doesn't need to. If I put on a face-plate then the carriage will eventually hit that. The same is true for each of

I have an old server intel Xeon, it is used as a server and I did not try real time kernel yet. If you happen to come over old servers thrown out it may be worth a try, even though I have no idea I suspect they are a little bit different built. On Sat, 7 May 2016 10:08:17 +0300 Andrew
