I spoke to him on the phone at length about a year ago. Basically a normal
fellow on the phone. Not sure why we sometimes take on different
personalities on the net, but that seems to be the case with him. Nice
fellow from what I remember.

You are correct though - he seems to have disappeared for a while now.
Maybe someone offended him?

If you put that in a small shed, then set the shed on fire I bet you could
get the insurance company to fix it.
After you get the cash sell it to a friend then he could do the same thing

Let Cliff write your programs. There may be something in the Guinness
Book of World Records under "Most machines crashed by a clueless
programmer", or "Manufacturings biggest crashes by the biggest
blowhard." It is very possible Cliff is the worlds greatest machine
crasher in several different categories. Over several generations.
Globally. He could very well be responsible for the 1982 recession. He
may have been the reason the Japanese took over the American automotive
market. The full extent of Cliffs influence over manufacturing may never
be calculated due to the volume. It feels good to recognize anothers
achievments and compliment them on a job well done. Good job Cliff!

OIL does bad things to machines. That's why my 1992 Hardinge will
after 14 years only hold hold .0003, when I bought it would hold
.0002. It will hold .0002 on Dia if I screw with the offsets. .0004 is
easy, but then I run OIL <g>.

Hehe... My 1984 Hardinge HXL-S is similar. Slideways look like they
were ground yesterday.

BUT I'll tell you that cutting oil does the PVC sheaved cables no good
whatsoever. I have recently found this out whilst retrofitting the
machine, just about all the cables that spent their life exposed in any
way to the neat cutting oil are now as stiff as posts.

Not that I care much, new cables will give me peace of mind.

Don't know the answer, but I'll be using good quality cable of the same
type as originally fitted. It's lasted 22 years on those Brand Rexx

There's also hardly any chance of parts rusting.

Only drawbacks that affect me are that 1. It can be messy 2. Some smoke

I still prefer the cutting oil on the hardinge's though. I Once worked

Read an article in an old (+50 years) Popular Mechanic about a company
that recycled motor oil. IIRC the filtering was done through stacked old news
papers which removed all impurities and left the oil perfectly clean.
New additives were then added to bring the oil up to specs. Better for the
Environment than just pouring it on gravel roads to bind the dust.

When I worked as a mechanic back in the seventies, we changed the oil after
1000 miles... highway robbery if you ask me! Personally, I just top up the ol'
wreck once or twice a year.

Hangsterfers sells an additive called J1 Aldraw if I remember the name
right. It does about the same thing.

But I have seen the STP make a difference in tool life in 17-4Ph Stainless.
I still think it's the extreme pressure additives that do the trick. That's
what the Aldraw is. It used to have a very high percentage of chlorinated
parrifins in it. I don't know with today's regulations what's in it
anymore. But with either the STP or the Aldraw you need a strong pump. It
thickens things up pretty good.

Aldraw also works wonders when ruunning stainless in a stationary guide
bushing. Using an EP additive and a Meehanite bushing you can damn near run
any rpm without the material seizing up.

Oil of wintergreen is also alleged to have some magical effects on tool
life in stainless. I've never been able to find it in large enough
quantities/cheap enough to give it a try.

Prolly clear up the sinuses if nothing else.

BTW, we ran 5418 in most of our machines at IMTS. It was a bit smokey on
some of the stainless demos. We've been using Blaser Vascomill 22(?) in our
shop for a while. It's a veggie based oil. Stinks like hell when it's new
but it's not bad at all once it has mellowed a bit. Works great in
stainless and Titanium. Doesn't seem to stain brass and aluminum either.
It's clear too which helps you to see what's going on. But it is $pendy.

Dan STP works to good when I have to tap some 304 parts thru in my
drill press with an air collet closer & a taping head, Only 100 pcs
not worth the time to try to finish on the CNC's.
Well with only .150 sticking out of a soft bored collet (part is .312
long), just try to grab the tapped part out of the collet !

Remember the STP ad that showed a screwdriver that you couldn't pick
up with STP on it? Maybe only OLD farts remember that, I do <Grin>.

You should look into the Hangsterfer's CC442, it's clear as water, I
have some and are trying it. Says it's got all the good Sulphur stuff.
It is thicker than the 5418 but mixes well with it.

I would but I never see the Hagsterfers guy anymore. The Blaser guy stops
in regular and takes good care of us. Plus he'll do a BOGO when a customer
buys a machine.

I do have a drum of Hangsterfers that I need to get rid of. It has some EP
additive in it plus it got mixed with some Blaser. Maybe I should post it
in RCM, it would be about a lifetime supply for a hobbiest.

Two barrels and you still just about need to top the thing off. Fun.

Toliet water does't do any better. I've replaced a lot of stiff or
broken cables.

As some types age the plasticizers can bleed out or be
dissolved leaving behind brittle shrunken plastic.
Solvents, such as water & some oils/cutting fluids, might
speed this.

One was an Aluminum test part ... not a high-value real
one. It was still good for the purpose too.
The other was a rough forging with lots of stock IIRC. Bad for the
machine but not the forging.

Several years ago, I had a burn in a Colshester 2000 CNC lathe
due to the fact that we used oil for colant, and the partofftool broke,
while I was at a coffie break..
10 minutes later, my break was off, and I notised all the smoke in the shop,
grapped a Co2 firedestingwisher.
The lathe was fixable, 2 weks later, it was up and running like new..

Yes, and I'd suspect it was Ti, because of all the little black specks /
sooting....beings as a magnesium fire generally only leaves copious amounts
of white smoke / ash...though, throw hydrocarbons into the mix and it's
anyone's guess.

Post by Randy

Umm, just always cut dry and also try and leave lots of chips, esp little
fine ones within in the cutting zone....

Workpeice is still there, tool is not, could have been a chip fire
that never got hot enough to ignite the whole piece. I'm guessing the
white residue is dry chem. extinguisher powder.

looks like the fire was in the pocket, the clamp on that end of the
piece is gone. Bottom of the workpiece is burned through. so skip
the above about the piece not igniting.

Only metal I've ever burned is a piece of magnesium ribbon.

Oh, the spindle has got to have been severely heated, looking at the
side of the
head. The streaks on the remains of the cabinet indicates serious
water-based
fire extinguishing was used. If you've ever seen what happens when the
firemen
hit a burning VW (original) beetle engine with the booster hose, it is
like a 4th
of July ground display. So, if somebody turned the hose on this thing
while it
had burning Magnesium in it, it would have been like pouring thermite into
the machine! From the looks of things, that's about what happened, too. I
seriously doubt the machine could be rebuilt unless you treated it as a
pile of
raw castings to be remachined.

so why does a 1998 fadal only have a cnc88 control?

and if they are only selling it for parts, then do they know something
that they are not telling? Like, they got the insurance money, for

seems a little odd...

Clay,

He probably didn't report it to his insurance. Machining magnesium may not
be covered under his policy.

Our insurance doesn't cover it. Even so, the boss still trys to get us to
use it on our designs. He doesn't really understand what can happen. I
emailed these pictures to him, I think he gets it now.
