Anybody got an idea what type of collet this is?
Its from a high speed spindle that was found without documentation. Most likely sold by ISEL in Germany.
This one is for 3mm tools, I will would like to get one for 1/8" tools.

Reading papers on CNC machines. As one author put it: "you must convert geometry into time". #CNC #Machining
Today in the metal machine shop I was using a little used alloy called B E E C H... It's kinda similar to the O A K family of alloys...
To test that everything works before I commit to wood. I printed up a test jig. It needed a little refinement to open up the bores (3d printing is not perfect for dimensions, esp of circles). But then. I could test fit everything.
And it works.
It works better than I ever dreamed it would. The bar in the image slides easily, but with just a quarter turn of the bolt. It locks on place. A quarter turn is all it takes. From free moving to locked. Now I need to buy the wood.
And that's all the metal machining for this project done. It works! It bloody well works!!!
Amazingly the jig I made to help manufacturer worked brilliantly. I'm so pleased.
Unusual (and interesting) shop tips.
Nice shop.

Y aurait-il une photo du panneau de contrôle par hasard ?
Beyond extrusion and surface finishing, we also provide precision machining and assembly services for our customers! As shown in the picture, we assembled this set of aluminum profiles for a client. To make their work easier, we delivered it as a pre-assembled package, saving them time and increasing efficiency. Solving customer challenges is what we do best!

After I finished work on my primary project yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of time left until the 3d print finished. So I decided to have a play with my new self made sensitive drilling attachment.
Aim was to drill a 0.5mm hole in some brass.
I achieved that with minimal breakage. I've just had a chance to test the hole with gauge pins.
500µm pin fits.
600µm doesn't git.
I'm considering that a big win.
Do not underestimate the usefulness of a pencil in the machine shop...
Honored to be invited by the FANUC India team to their office yesterday. Grateful for the warm hospitality and the appreciation shown for the business we’ve done together this financial year.
Looking forward to continued collaboration and shared success!
