That's a really nice way of doing it Russ. I would've thought to do it on your lathe, because I wouldn't think that your somewhat old VF-0 would have a rigid tapping cycle. Does it have that or do you have axial float in the holder?
Hi Ken,
My Haas has rigid tapping, and is a hell of a lot easier to work in than the Okuma. Just opening and closing the door on the Okuma will give you a hell of a workout......especially every 30 seconds!!
I have some video of the whole process and will get it posted up soon here.........to be continued......
Later,
Russ
