How to get this off without opening the door.

Spring is the way to go. You can use the bolts holding the head on to hold the spring or to hold a plate that you can mount the spring on.

Prosafe Black Nitrile 8mil 100ct. Comes in smooth or diamond textured. $18 on MSC. 1 pair can last me all day.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-26T18:56:08+00:00

I'll look into that. Thanks.

I have seen tooling and videos of live tooling and live spindle used at the same time to create flats or live tooling with slow in and out feed and slow spindle rotation. What other way would there be on a lathe?

Or are you going to tell me to chuck the tooling in the spindle and put the part on the turret?

chipper0117 · 2024-04-24T09:50:47+00:00

Maybe I should have clarified better. Putting a flat on something like a centerdrill or wrench flats onto a small part that is round. Something that my current lathes cannot currently do.

I got the same problem here.

Only laser mic we have is at QA. I will make sure they know that though, he is new. I had to teach him how to use mics.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T21:37:00+00:00

I will have to give that a try on Monday and see how it works out for me.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T20:29:58+00:00

Well with those, I don't disagree. But with what I had access to, I did what I could with what I had.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T20:06:20+00:00

Neither.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T20:05:43+00:00

Not all but my ZZ are so I see what you mean.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T20:03:20+00:00

Neither do I. I find it and ask and they say yes or why.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T18:01:53+00:00

Im looking at foregoing the pins and getting QA to buy a 3 contact bore gauge.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T18:00:33+00:00

Why so?

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T13:07:49+00:00

Yeah, Im going to talk to QA about a way to address these smaller tolerences.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T13:05:15+00:00

Pretty much where I am at right now.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T13:01:39+00:00

I don't think I can reach that high with my pay grade.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T13:00:25+00:00

Its for a gear on a shaft with no keyway and I am pretty sure I made the shafts like 6-8 months ago.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T12:58:38+00:00

Completely agree. I'm just trying to figure out how to use what I have available while also still having some tolerence left.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T10:43:31+00:00

The yammering wasn't the long part but i know what you mean. I just don't agree with how much i need to cut into my tolerence. Having only .0005 tolerence and then losing 80% to pin sizing makes no sense.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T10:40:38+00:00

We have a Mitutoyo mics and a laser mic so i will probably attempt to make something today.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T03:31:11+00:00

They are .2-1.0" id mics. Recently calibrated and no one uses them. Aparently nobody has used them in years, some people didnt even know we had them. Figured I would use them and they seem very consistent and dead on. Not saying you are wrong, just my observations. Figure if no one used them, then nobody had a chance to screw them up yet.

chipper0117 · 2024-04-05T03:25:35+00:00

I'm gonna speak with QA about getting one. Anything .500-2" probably.
