@ProfileMachiningLLC The machine came with some tooling when I bought it 15 years ago, such as the releasing floating tap holder and a releasing die head threading attachment not shown in the video. However these tools are readily available new from places like gangturn.com. I make many of my own tool holders, drill bushings, reamer holders, and such. I grind most of my own form tools, but occasionally job out carbide form tools to an EDM shop that can make them as per .dxf cad drawing.
I wouldn't be sure about feeds and speeds, but these machines have a sophisticated electrohydraulic control system which provides infinitely variable control of feed and RPM for each operation.
As someone more familiar with CNC, the idea of a mechanical programming system just blows my mind completely. I /get/ it, but my brain can't actually /process/ it. :) How long does it take to reprogram for a different part? (Excluding tooling changes) Is there a standard method for writing down the program for later re-use? And is it readily repeatable or would you need to go through some trial and error when re-using a program? This is some great machinist porn. Thanks for the upload! ;D
Thanks for sharing the videos. I'm picking up one of these machines next week! I have a VERY steep learning curve ahead of me.
I can watch a DSMA for hours ! Good work

I imagine you have an operating manual for that machine? It would take quite some time to set up for each part yes?
I was wondering what the max diameter round bar stock that can be run through this machine?
Take that CNC!!!! Very nice sir......
that is amazing!
what material and rpm?
Wait, where is the computer?

Squirt a little oil in the feed tube to stop the rattle. Usually ;-)
Nice ! I like it, thanks
It is not for sale. Sorry. Machines like it are readily available for $3000 and under through Craigslist and such.
Nice it linke thanks
