OSG's are my go to taps. Pretty much all I order unless I run into something a little more tricky, then it's Emuge.

Don't see how they'd be labeled as a "green industry".

I canceled the work shift when I put a new tool in, forgot to put it back in. Hit cycle start. Turret moved to Z0.0 and then came straight down in X onto the chuck at 100% rapid. Sheared the 6 10mm SHCS that secured the turret disk to the turret. Scared the #### out of me.

Nothing like an epic crash. Watching a new $750 carbide boring bar get blasted to bits is most impressive. It happens. It's part of the deal.

I know about the red glow Andy spoke of all to well...

would that be like the one where the coolant hose came off an inserted, coolant-through 1.25" drill while it was plowing through 303 ss at 0.0075 IPR?

Ok, Brad you must of made some real chips by now!! Do tell.

Ok, since Brad is MIA, I guess I'll have to post something. Here is my milling attachment all finished up.

Quick test, chucked up some round stock and milled a flat. Seems to work well, and hold the piece much better then before.

Looks good Will.

I guess I keep my JB Weld at the wrong place in my shop. I will try my chip pan, that way I can find it. LOL

Brad is busy playing with the new chisels I sent him.

Thanks guys. Took me much longer then I would of thought. But nobody said it was ever fast machining anything, especially on a light duty setup. Now what to make next!

Well, I wouldn't consider myself very skilful in the machining department. You should see some of the stuff people make on a different forum, called shop made tools, very very cool!!

Nonetheless, you do damn fine work.
