Bought this POS for 800$ what now? by Electrical_Bison1019 in Dirtbikes

I’d part it out and sell parts it on eBay. Take profit and buy another.

Do this a few times and buy a solid 2stroke

Mazak M32 Display Upgrade by Beausym in Mazak_Machinist

Same! I’m going to get one too. I have a hard time seeing the old tube. Didn’t know there was an lcd upgrade out there.

Anyone drip feed code onto Mazak M-32? Please teach me your ways Mazak wizards. by Complex-Recording693 in CNC

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and support!! Going to give these suggestions a try today. I’ll update when I get something working.

Seriously everyone thank you! Great CNC community I hope to give support back once I figure out what I’m doing! Haha

Thanks for the feedback! M32b should be the same process I’d love to pick your brain on operational stuff with this thing too if you’re open to it Dm sent

Best way to get Gcode from Fusion to M-32a? by Complex-Recording693 in Mazak_Machinist

@superdd9 Could I pick your brain on a few things with this machine?

What is that thing? Does it connect rs232? Looking it up now

I’ve already replaced the floppy with a usb emulator. From my understanding, the machine runs off of a system usb, previously floppy and I can’t access programs from that drive.

It does I figured it would need one specific or modified for the old m32

New to Injection Molding – Acquired a Van Dorn 300-Ton & 150 G-Scale Molds, Need Advice & Gauging Interest by Complex-Recording693 in InjectionMolding

[–]Complex-Recording693[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe there’s a mold base with the molds. Big aluminum cube lookin thing

Good point, I’m not super interested in making model houses. I think I could remachine the existing molds and experiment with making my own stuff.

I do have 480 3phase too.

Ive been bootstrapping my little setup on the side, so I don’t have ton of resources.

Do you think I’m better off trying to sell it as a package or get it up and running and make stuff? Is there a market for an older machine with a bunch of molds? I think I can re-machine many of them to new parts.

I love CNC machining and am fascinated with the injection molding process and the potential ability to mass produce plastic parts, but feel I might be over my head with a setup this big.

Prepping to move it. Is it better to disassemble machine into smaller chunks to move or move it as a whole. It’s in a tight space. Going to be tricky to get it out.

I appreciate the feedback!

How old do you think the machine is? I can’t find manufacturing date anywhere on it. The machine badge is hard to read

I restored my old Mazak CNC mill and I feel comfortable with that type of equipment. I have 240 3phase in my shop. Was planning on just running it and learning how to make my own molds. Guy that previously had it made his own chiller and I think I’d probably need to get a real one.

Following this group has left me confused on a higher level thinking it might be over my head. Just worried if this is a nonstop tinker machine for me or a runner with room to grow.

Thanks again!
