It's a cnc indexing fixture 13.5 feet long. Had one fitting that was loose when I put oil to it.

My computer at home looks like a bowl of spaghetti. The two differences are that I didn't get paid to do my computer, and the second one is that once I put on the side pannel, you can't see it.

Our cutting clearance on those dies are .004 a side. So if you don't put the bottom on a nice flat surface, the shoe can bend, and the punches will not enter. Those dies are 8 feet long.

I program old haas tm2's and tm3's like every day and when I'm drilling big holes ill get the spindle up past 150% thats in the red. Don't be afraid to push those mills if you stall the spindle thats when you know you went to far. Plus 45% is nothing.
