Shoot man that’s why I built mine takes the pucker factor out of threading to a shoulder I went from threading at 70 rpm to 300 ive kind of settled at 150rpm and I never have to disengage the half nuts

What kind of repeatability are you getting from your prox? I went with a 5 micron limit switch I’m getting about .0005 at 150 rpm https://youtu.be/Ncc72aKgzVY

Thank you for this!!!!

I definitely like the idea of a barrel block you could freefloat the action seems like a great set up. It’s weird I’ve never actually seen one in person. Do you bed the barrel in the block? I can’t see why it would be needed just wondering if that’s how it’s done.

What would you like to know? I can post a parts list of what I used and take some better pictures and video tomorrow I’ll be chambering a 300NM for my father. Drive...

Are using CNC? Carriage stop? I’m pretty ing good like 200rmp with a tool width relief cut good I don’t even wanna think how fast that carriage is traveling at 750 RPM.

It didn’t really make a lot of sense to me and I’m an electrician ? I’d think 1800 rpm is 1800 rpm but the more and more I researched it It’s fairly common with single phase equipment the sign wave on single phase is more spread out than 3 phase and guess that mean something. I can attest that...

I was having a similar issues as you with a similar lathe. I know this may not be an issue your having but I’ll get to that..... I was having problems with my threads looking like . I did a ton of research and found that single phase lathes leave an awful finish on parts. I changed my belts that...

What rotating coupling are you using?

Depending on the shape it’s in and where you’re located. I think they’re in the 4K price range new. If your back east you could probably offer her 1500-2000 if you’re in west Texas and it’s in good shape with tooling the thing would go for 3800 (no joke). I have a 15 year old G4016 in good shape...

Damn..... they’re usually great to deal with I’ve used their brand drives on dozens of projects over the years

I put an automation direct GS2 3hp on my mill and lathe last year super easy setup and controls you can remotely locate the HMI on your lathe or mill. I set up the brake function on my lathe for a thread stop using a precision micro switch giving me .0002 repeatability after playing around with...

Rubicon, thanks for posting the video that was super impressive I wish My lathe had an inboard coolant pump!!! After seeing that I’m going to have to do this.

Thanks for all the reply’s y’all its way more common than I thought it was. the way I have doing the search just reading the popular or most replays nothing was really coming up. Danny I actually found your post a couple days ago i really dig your build I like how it’s mobile that’s a...

Gene, nice set up man tell me a bit about that swivel if you would please

Thanks for the reply’s I will definitely do a better search of the forum. GsT, how you doing man I think we’re on a couple forums together!! Would you mind sharing some pictures of your setup? What sis you use for a swivel on the muzzle end? Richard, I’ve bought a few things off of Greg over...

Howdy from New Mexico!!! Being my first post I’ll tell y’all a bit about my self. I started chambering rifles a couple years ago when I couldn’t find a local gunsmith without a 9 month lead time. Thinking how hard could it really be I bought a lathe a mill and tens of thousands of dollars later...
