mklotz70 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Sweet! I want a machine that will do that! :) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 So the cool guys only put up a couple of pics....I come on a put up a bunch of lame ones!! LOLI'm helping nis720 with a project...I'm pretty sure I've put up pics of this sort before. I'm not done with the lathe work on them....hopefully, tomorrow. I'm doing this set cheap....what would you real machinists out there charge? I'm thinking I'd have to charge close to $150 to make it worth it....but I have no life or overhead Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Toy 5 lug hubs on a 720 spindle? I'm pretty sure that's what's up. I sure hope this wasn't a secret!! :) Quote Link to comment
datsunwizard Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Mike, Do you clean the lathe real well after you cut cast iron? That stuff is very abrasive on the ways, I usually cover mine when cutting cast iron. Then a full clean up because of the dust that it generates, stuff gets every where. Monte Quote Link to comment

Monte Yes cast iron will destroy a machine if ya don't clean it. And it will create rust all by its self. :( Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 What is his end goal? The end goal is this. Toy 5 lug hubs on a 720 spindle? I'm pretty sure that's what's up. I sure hope this wasn't a secret!! :) It's no secret.... more like an experiment... thanks for all your help Mike. Ohhh and the quick turnaround Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm still new to this machining stuff....thanks for the heads up on the cast iron!! I'll make sure I clean it up well and maybe even cover the ways for the rest of it. This lathe already has enough wear on it!! Quick turnaround? LOL! I got them started pretty quickly.....the question is how soon do I finish them!! LOL Quote Link to comment

LOL The first set you got done pretty quick, this second set has alot more work and it seems you're making good progress. Well at least you started them. They sat at my shop for months and never got started. Ironically these are the same ones that sat at your shop. :P But I totally understand not having time to start them, I've been too busy to work on my own stuff. Took me a few weeks just to get them ready for Mike. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 so I guess I'm the only one that's not busy!! LOL!!! :) If I don't finish them tonight, I will tomorrow. Microwave died last night....priorities....had to be able to heat my tea in the morning!!! :) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Okay...finally got them done sunday :) They're boxed up and heading out this morning, so these should be the last pics/vids of the mods to these hubs. I though John might like how I held the indicator in the vid :) The last few pics are of a couple of 1/16" spacers that I also made for nis720 so that he can put them behind another set of hubs to correct some spindle machining. I made them the same OD, but in hindsight, I probably should have made them a slip fit. I'm not sure what kind of steel I was using, but dang was it a PITA to cut!!! Oh well, it was the only chunk I had that would work....and it was the piece that had been welded to the C channel in the Diff Narrowing thread. :) Anyway..... Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 so i heard u old school guys bitching about young guys only doing cnc stuff. ive only ever known how to turn handles and im only 24. the only cnc stuff ive done was on a plasma table. im not the best at machine work but i like to do things the old way. i use hand shears, manual shrinker/stretchers, english wheels, planishing hammers, sand bags and hammers, and a hammer and dolly. i like to do things the old school way cause its a dying art/trade and some ppl want stuff done that way. i had a question on the lathe work u guys are doing tho. are any or all of u using any sort of cutting fluid or lubrication when doing ur machine work to get such a smooth surface. whether applied by hand or by the pump in the bed? just wondering casue all the lathes ive worked on have never used the pump on them or even had them(iirc) i have one lathe at work that is pretty nice and 2 others in storage at home that are mien, one smaller and one large(!) one. just wondering so if i ever get around to setting mine up anywhere i cood do so with a lubrication system if it really pays off in the outcome of the part after. thanks in advance, erich Quote Link to comment

Sometimes it gets a little messy with a manual machine. Then when doing cnc stuff on the mill the new cutters they have now you can use them dry and they cut better. Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Today is the big day boys. My new machine is on the way. I'll have pics up tonight. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Next week I'll get some action shots for Mike. :o Awesome!! You know what I like!! :) I was just watching some vids on the edgefactor.com site....first time I had seen Doosan....now you have one. I want to come play......and by that I mean just watch since I don't have a clue how to use one!! :( :) hhhhmmm.....wonder if I could get a long weekend to come check it out :) Quote Link to comment
datsunwizard Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Quick question, when you buy a new machine, does Doosan set it up and give a quick class? Quote Link to comment
cl72wagon Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Rear brake caliper mounts for the 510's with IRS. They are for the ZX32 rear disc brakes if i remember correctly. Jeff and I made these. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sweet. I see the bandsaw cuts to remove the excess, but how do you hold it to machine the rest of it off? That chunk of AL can't be cheap to start with! Quote Link to comment
cl72wagon Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 i held on to it like the 3rd to last pic. I put a "jack"(a bolt and a nut) under the ear that sticks out to the left to support it while machining the backside. There was not alot to hang onto but I was still able to take .100 depth of cuts to remove the excess. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks...I think I got it :) Quote Link to comment
