... The mummy lives !! Remember that younger Tsugami CNC Swiss Screw Machine we bought and unloaded here a couple weeks ago ? Well, we got some serious electricity hooked up to her and she fired right up and acts like she didn't "throw a clot" during transit. 💃💃💃 She yawns at 4-place decimals and she's got a whole heap of tooling that came with her, plus a high pressure coolant system !! Sorry about the exclamation points ... I can get carried away about upgrades in capacity u s ML

sorentheswede So how many CNC drills, lathes, and mills are you running now?

  -  laruetactical @sorentheswede ... 150+ ... I've lost count 🤷 2 likes

gsprague We had a Tsugami at our old shop. For whatever reason it had to be programmed for radius instead of diameter. We switched exclusively to Star's, but I still miss the Tsugami 1 like

  -  laruetactical @gsprague ... The greatest machine tool repair tech in this solar system lives right down the road from our main CNC facility ... and his forte is Tsugamis & Okumas 💃💃💃😎 2 likes

peter.noowin Mr. LaRue, honest question, does each CNC machine have its own pros and cons? Like one is good at doing X and another is good at doing Y. Or is there a best of the best CNC machine that does it all?

  -  laruetactical @peter.noowin ... I settle on a maker for each style of machining ... Haas machining centers for milling/drilling, Okuma turning centers for lathe work and O.D. Grinding, Mitsubishi EDMs, Tsugami CNC Screw Machines, etc. 1 like

  -  peter.noowin @laruetactical that's so interesting to know. Learn something new everyday

cramer.owen Man love Tsugamis. I uaed to work at a place that had 5 axis Tsugami mills with pallet changers (fma-5?) and networked with a CMM and preset tools. That place cooked through some parts!
