Old machines can make parts fast.
For over 130 years, screw machines have been making automotive, aircraft, fittings, special fasteners, bushings, and all sorts of small parts.

Apologies for off-topic, but I'm looking for some advice on drilling/tapping a 14mm deep M3 thread in S303 stainless Hex stock. Current supplier is struggling to get a decent quality hole drilled, resulting in mal-formed threads.

Hi

use titex plus or guhring 549 style drills

OSG TRF Forming taps or other hi quality forming taps

Thanks

Roy

this is from 1965? was it computer controlled?

[milehigh51]

Hi No it is cam controlled. this type of screw machine were invented in 1876 their are multi spindle screw machines as-well with the fastest cycle time of 70 parts per minute.

With more common cycles of 4-8 sceonds

Thanks for looking

what look alike a screw

[douro20]

How do you teach a machinist patience? Have him set up a screw machine. Don't let him do anything else until he's set up for at least ten different jobs with fifty parts each and all of his parts are within +/-0.003.

[p43500]

brilliant machines, my job is setting CVA 8 and a 12 which are simular. at a local firm but where finding it hard to find people to get cams cut for them now

[itsapookie]

what is that? a cam based vertical lathe? I'd rather have a bunch of swiss cnc's humming away. Not to mention change over time. But yes the old cammers are marvels of engineering.

add a air bubbler ,from your air line to your coolant. Over weekend stink will begone.Low pressure

[itsapookie]

we finally got rid of our last brownie but we still have six acme gridley rattling around haha. All are very tight machines all the jobs ran on them are 8 sec and under and hold +-.001 at the very least. Mechanical engineering at its best!

[w344242]

water based coolents I mean.

[w344242]

Ever have probs with rust?Never liked soluable oils an coolents in browines..Plus over the weekend it can really stink from bacteria when you come in on Monday...Itsapookie..if you think B&S setup people are getting hard to find,you should try an find a True Bullard VTL setup man...Really hard now a days..Everything is programmed in for the operator..Old machines still do the job well..Its the setup an operator who make it bad..Take care of the machine,an it will run another 100 years.

that's right 1965. it is time consuming to set up but it works good. i wish someone would post a foot treadle screw machine. those are cool.
