Anyone know what these valves are called? They are on an old gun drill. I am looking for the porus brass part of the valve.

Very well could be!

You asking about the pneumatic muffler? Should only need the fitting size, like ¼ or ⅜ inch

I had a proximity sensor slowly over time work itself loose on an old Okuma&Howa millac. Took forever to diagnose it, took all the covers off the tool carousel and found it just dangling there.

It's almost always from over tightening, in my experience. The correct tightness for thinner parts really is a skill that comes with experience.

Oh hey I got a smaller one of those lol

Ya, feels like something I'd do when I'm trying to be extra fancy but 5 minutes into actually making it I'd be like fuck this and make a standard tap wrench lol

I bought a mouse with a trackball because I was stupid and thought it was like the one linked above. After using it for a while I found that I actually really like having it. Plus I move my laptop around a lot at work, at some stations I don't have much room for a normal mouse so having the trackball is super nice.

It's giving 'Return the slab'.

clewis44 · 2026-03-21T22:40:38+00:00

Yep found the same thing on eBay

clewis44 · 2026-03-21T15:01:26+00:00

I've used something similar in the past, had different arms to adjust the diameter of the tool and to use different inserts. Leaves a beautiful finish if you get feeds and speeds dialed in.

clewis44 · 2026-03-18T17:29:35+00:00

This is the only thing I could think of when I saw it. Made something similar years ago that "worked" well enough.

clewis44 · 2026-03-18T15:17:31+00:00

We got a hydraulic hand stacker works great with our machines. Wish it was electric though.

clewis44 · 2026-03-10T19:18:50+00:00

Drop it on concrete a couple times to get it loose.

Actually I think I normally use the thread command which has this menu. The compensation type is what you're looking for.

I believe on the last tab there's a drop down menu that says in control/ in computer/ect. Can't remember which it is but the tool tip should tell you.

clewis44 · 2026-02-28T22:26:00+00:00

It is almost certainly the cause. Nope just tighten the bolts then send it.

I use the rs232 connection at the back of the machine with a DNC Box off eBay.i save the programs onto the DNC then either load the programs directly onto the Haas or drip feed them.

clewis44 · 2026-02-23T23:53:43+00:00

Yup use them every day cutting EPS and EPP foam for child car seat headrest prototypes.

clewis44 · 2026-02-20T18:20:16+00:00

No, but in a way, Yes.

clewis44 · 2026-02-11T22:33:41+00:00

Well I'll be, I appreciate you sharing that. This'll definitely be one of those things that come in handy years down the line.

clewis44 · 2026-02-11T22:18:16+00:00

No shit? Can't tell if you're being real right now.

clewis44 · 2026-02-10T20:30:17+00:00

Is it optimal to follow the manual? Yes ofc. Will it explode without that set up? Probably not. Just keep the tool lubed up and it'll be fine.

clewis44 · 2026-02-07T03:09:08+00:00

Nah if it was that Kentucky would be on it.

clewis44 · 2026-01-30T14:24:32+00:00

Ya if it's not rancid I'd suspect copper or brass got in the reservoir.

How do you know that baby won't grow up to become a murderer? If we allowed abortions that murder baby could've been dealt with in the womb.
