The Shop > Tools
The Sajo mill is here
Trion:
Thanks for the kind words Bernd! I managed to squeeze in a few hours of shop time today too :)
Cleaned the cover and applied new sealant
Assembled the cover, and began to wash the filter. This picture was taken before, unfortunately I forgot to take one after :wack:
All filters washed and mounted. Had to drill out a broken bolt in one of the mounting holes, and tap it up to M6 again
Before christmas i bought a bit of tooling very cheap, but I'm not sure of the area of usage for each of the components..
These are the indexable cutters. Could anyone explain the usage area of some of them?
I guess the left one is made for milling along a face perpendicular to the table, can it also be used for facing?
The one second to the left uses the same inserts as the first, but seems to be versatile?!
The third one to the left uses different inserts, but is very similar.
The third to the right has yet to reaveal its function, or is it simlar to an end mill with a radius?
The second to the right and the one to the right have strange looking inserts, with an edge pointing out. Brand is "Safety", suggestions?
My regular endmills, some newly ground, some a bit worn.. The one to the right seems special, it weighs about the same as the chamfered one next to it. Does that mean it's solid carbide?
The facing cutter. It's about 100mm in diameter, but by the look of the inserts, i would think it was made for deep metal hoggin, am I right?
Horizontal milling cutters. As I don't have horizontal equipment, I think I'm going to make holders to use them for vertical milling..
And what about this strange looking thing: It's named "Ball Point", is made in Sweeden by "Medir"
It came with some papers for checking it's function. Is it like an edge finder or something? The 0,000mm measured deviation sure seems promising :scratch:
Here's my drill press vise, which I'm going to use for starters. Though the J.Parkinson 190mm swivel vise I was watching on E-bay went for only £1,70 during my lunch break today :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

Ok, so the last post may have come over a bit on the bragging end. It wasn't intended that way, and I'm still not sure about the tools usage area. Anyways, today I got the electric connector needed, and fired up the machine for the first time :D
Maybe not the best picture, but both the vertical spindle and the Z axis are running! :D
I used the opportunity to run the Z-axis up an down a few times and wipe of old swarf that came to the surface
Everything electrically driven seems to work. Now I'll have to get proper oil and grease, and give the machine a good lube. I also want to disassemble the quill, as the fine feed handle doesn't seem to work..

Eh :scratch:
Heck no..... I was more than happy to see all those pic's of the tooling .... you gloat away :thumbup:
perhaps if you have a question about any tools may I suggest you picture just a couple at a time? You might get more responses that way .... :ddb:
Glad you have got it going, but your links don't seem to work :scratch:

Trion, Sandvic has an application search in their online catalog, with lots of pictures. The link below should take you to the page I'm talking about if not just look for online catalog, application search and milling. Also on the left side you can choose the language. I don't use any idexable tooling so I don't want to give you any bad advise.

Oh, and nice mill, good score all around. :clap:

Trion,
You`re allowed to brag some..... But I must agree with Darren. Lots of questions at once are a bit overwhelming! ::)
Your question, "Front of the table. The lever to the right with the arrow behind has yet to reveal it's function, just like that flat screw sticking out of the dust cover.."
The lever will be the backlash eliminator. To allow climb milling in the X axis,.......
The flat screw will be the gib adjusting screw........
Probably! :thumbup:
