Hello everyone. About a month ago, I purchased the mill in the title, Model "V". It was one of those "pig in a poke" kind of buys. I could look, but I could NOT see it run as it was not hooked up and the seller would not go to the trouble; they were about to …

Sharp LMV mill or First or a real Bridgeport maybe????

Just wanted to start a new thread about this. I'm shopping for a vertical mill of good quality with a 9x42 table. Likely a Bridgeport Copy type of mill. A new Bridgeport is probably a bit too expensive but then again, are they still all made completely in the USA? I never used a real Bridgeport...

A 30 taper manual mill, is not super common in a vertical style.. 40 taper machines are capable of real work, and tend to be priced accordingly.. Now the flexibility of a Bridgeport style turret mill, is hard to beat for a small one mill shop..

milling with an endmill on 6061 or 6063. Climb-milling is best suited for horizontal mills due to more rigidity of setup than a vertical mill, but with aluminum you have sometimes no choice. Conventional milling is an easier cut, but it increases "chip underfeed" that will give you a poor finish. Even a fine feed of 0.003" per

In addition to the information given, it is possible to surface grind on a vertical mill. There are quite a few small mills which are pretty rough on facing- and, of course, there is quite a lot of inaccuracy generated by flycutting.

Thread Milling ???

Automatic screw machines were milling threads long before anybody envisioned CNC. Old horizontal/vertical mills did it using a gear driven indexing head off the X axis screw. The primary advantage of milling large threads is the cutting ease compared to single pointing or tapping. Thread grinding in hardened material is similar to milling.

But a person could have changed it out to a 5/8-18 UNF set screw! I work with a product line where we thread mill a flat bottom hole to 5/8-18 UNF and install a 3/8-18 NPT pipe plug in the hole. It's a totally non-traditional application where a …

Milling a tight tolerance hole / accuracy

But the machine manages to mill it 0,3mm (more than 10 thousands) too small, in my perspective I'm not using excessive feeds. Our HaasVM3 got no problem with milling a tight tolerance hole right from the start, but with high feeds (a 1,5mm hole with a 1mm endmill is no problem). I know that a VM is a moldmaker and got a finer leadscrew.

Really, I don't need a second mill, but for the price I couldn't go wrong. I figure I'll keep whichever suits my needs best and sell the other. I do like the 30 taper and rigidity of the round ram south bend mill, but the overall tightness of this Induma, and the head nod feature make me wonder if it is more capable.
