The next step in the tappet manufacturing process is to drill a 2 mm hole to 21 mm depth, at the proper location, without breaking a tool; Let's see how it's done.

Excellent! Learned something useful and thanks. These types of setups are challenging and your planning was good; but something always happens! Maybe try a tiny spot face, then tiny center drill, and then a tiny collet to hold the drill? Great presentation, and music. Subscribed [fr Kanada]

thanks Andrew. Appreciate your feedback.

I have been nurturing my anilam for years as you and remember a comment you made about people, in essence, tossing out old machines. I suspect that you, like me, seem to resonate when an old anilam is getting pushed out the door. there seem to be more anilam machines closer to their eastern origin so I wanted to ask to let me know if you see an old machine appearing ready for a second life. what I imagine would be fun would to find is a bed mill with a tool changer that has AC motors. I further imagine installing my spare parts to make it have all the cool features. What have you seen that is not in the resellers overpriced unicorn stable?

agree with you. a lot of old machines are getting tossed out. 20/20 hind sight I should have gutted my machine and put more recent operating system on it. would have taken 1 yr instead of 4 years. right now it works, but I'm always looking to have spare parts like the servo motor & amplifier.
