Hi Pixman
I have ordered a R8/16mm arbor but shipping to Au is snail pace. I dont expect to have it for several weeks and I will be away most of Nov. I also will order a Tormach blank arbor and have a go at making my own 16mm arbor. I may not be able to control the run out but no harm in having a go. Its only money & time! Would doing a final skim to 16mm running in the mill spindle be a good idea?
In the meantime I have been playing with my new 13x 40 Sieg Runnmaster Lathe. Runnmaster was originally a Taiwanese company but now Chinese manufacture. A few issues but I am mostly happy with the quality. Love having the opportunity to purchase all new tooling for the new machine.
Also took the opportunity to purchase some new inserts for my Chinese 45deg and shoulder face mills . They are suggested for machining Alu and are polished and uncoated.
These are Korloy brand SEHT1204AFFN-X83-H01 & APKT1604PDFR-MA-H01. It will be interesting to compare with the Walter mill when the arbor arrives. Will report my observations for what they are worth.
Would you care to comment on Korloy brand inserts as they are very commonly available
Cheers
Ron
