Need some help from my head machining buddies

Depends on which model it is. In order to do accurate work with carbide cutters the entire frame has to be rigid as well as the head table.

I used carbide pilots for rigidity, and those have to be checked for wear on the surface the cutter body rides on, as well as the cutter body itself.

It can’t be too rigid.


I’m going to meet him at his shop at 12 tomorrow. He is heading back to Florida on the 26th. He even said I could make payments.
