Hello Patrick this Hanson. Over 30 years prototypes machinist trak-mill are the best, very simple programs quickly adapted to the jobs. I used this trak mill almost ten years at SpaceX tooling team and my team have the best supported from me by using this trak bed mill

Hi Hanson, I remember you well! Thanks for all the great feed back! T.P.

Does “tracking” work while tapping?

[@patrickfitzsimmons5187]

Hi Matthew, If you're using TRAKing in a tap event, it will trak up to the Z rapid position and then it will automatically switch to CNC run so that it can move at the speed of the spindle rpm. After taping is completed, it returns to the Z rapid position and then it will switch back to TRAKing. T.P.

which 40 taper tool holder is used with the rx5?

[@trakingpat2750]

The DPM RX3,5 or 7 all use 40 taper tooling. You can choose from NMTB or CAT. The only difference is the length of the draw bar needed so be sure to order your machine with the proper draw bar for the type of tooling you choose to use. FYI, NMTB tooling has an extra 1 inch of shank on top of the tool holders where the draw bar screws in. Generally, there are more tools available if you use CAT. T.P.

The new mill is coming with the air tool changer like the mill shown in this video.

[@matthewcornelius5862]

I believe they are CAT 40, like most HAAS VF’s

[@mikehoffy5765]

@matthewcornelius5862 yes, Cat40. Thanks

Is that a mister on the air side of the machine?

[@TRAKMachineTools]

Yes it is. it's a Fog Buster coolant sprayer.

[@TRAKMachineTools]

@@WVHotRodRhino Fog Buster is the brand. It's "Fog Buster Coolant Sprayers" We show it on the "Options" tab of the RX5 web page. www.southwesternindustries.com/products/dpmrx-bed-mills/dpm-rx5-bed-mill

@@TRAKMachineTools Fog Buster just plain works. Does not fog up your shop - puts the coolant where it's needed.

I just need the 40 or $50,000 for this
