I tried to cut my first threads, but couldn't get synched up for additional cuts. I figured out the dial needs to be adjusted to begin with to even get it to start turning, but it stops turning when I

hello, seems like a few of us got a new machine this week. just a note to them. I thought a neat little thing to start with would be a mt3 fly cutter, so i looked up the dems, set the compound to 5

G'day gavin Andy, Steve et al. There is some good advice here, but! I don't have a mill and am not seriously looking at present. What I have seen is that the micro mills and mini mills are quite

G'day all. Well said John. Shimming and packing of work pieces is one of the skills of the job. Fellow groupies will know by now that I am not a fan of QCTPs. I am a cheapskate! But I do have 5

Hi Steve, The tangential has steeper than normal back and side rake - this causes it to cut more easily (using less power) than regular tools but also causes self-feeding on material like brass and

I happened to see this on ebay when looking for something else. (I have no connection with this item). The title says 7 manuals, but it seems there are 8.

John I had the pleasure of building a Tangential cutter based on the description on your web site. While it's not much for working in brass, I find it winds up mounted on my QCTP far more often than

I have seen a few sites, guys cutting and adding a bed extention. I can't find my bookmarks right now, I'll keep looking. I think I would upgrade to a 8X or 9X if I needed a longer bed than 14 inches.
