Milling Machine Accessories Video Transcript
Christopher Smith here with LeBlond. You’ve seen us do a lot of videos on the lathes, ’cause that’s typically what LeBlond is known for, but these days LeBlond is known for a lot more. We also do mills, surface grinders, band saws tool and cutter grinders, and we want to showcase the mill a little bit. This here is our 9 by 48. It’s one of our most popular models that we sell, but we can do a whole bunch of other sizes, 10 by 50, 12 by 54, and they come in a couple of different variations where this one’s an electronic variable speed. We can do mechanical variable speed as well, and also belt drive.
So some of the options with this, we have the Kurt vise that we offer so when you get a quote, you’ll see the Kurt vise in the quote. It’s a beautiful looking blue, I really like that. I feel like I should have a Ford truck painted in that color. Here is the guard that actually goes on the machine, so for your schools or just for safety, this is where this would go, but we got it off now, so you can see what I’m going to do here with the collet. Let me get out of the … right here so I can just get that out of the way.
Also on the quote, what you get are the R8 collet sets. So with this lathe, this mill, I’m sorry, also has is the air powered draw bar for your collets, which makes it quick and easy. Line up the key and just push a button [inaudible 00:01:27] and your tool is locked in ready to go. Same with letting it go. Comes with the tray. What I don’t have that we also have on the quote is a clamping kit. We just sold our last one in it, so I don’t have any in stock right now, they’re coming in. The other nice features about these are the power feeds. Got your power feed on your Y, reversible. With speed. Same with your Z. That comes on the control. And just stand here, this side a little bit, see it going up and down. And same for your X.
All great functions. With safety stops that you can set on each one of the axes. Now this system, or this mill, we’ve installed a 3-axis Newall MNS800 system on. It’s a very versatile system. The NMS800 comes with a five-year warranty and has a lot of functions that the original DP700 that they had didn’t have. So it’s a great system, easy to read, easy to work, and your control arm controlling speed. With the electronic variable speed, got your RPM gauge here, easy to read, with a brake. Just a great system. Now it’s been one of our top sellers in the milling, on the milling side of our business.
If you guys have any questions about it or want to see a quote on it, please reach out to us at LeBlondUSA.com. Also, something to think about if you have an older mill out there, we are doing a 25% Newall discount this fall. So try, you know, if you want to get your hands on that. And also, you know, if you’re thinking, “Hey, it’s going to be difficult,” Newall sends a whole bunch of bracketry to make installation a breeze for ya and you can even call us and we can help talk you through that, any of that. So yeah, and if you’re in the area, September 18th, we’re doing an open house. Come in, get your hands on one to kind of get a feel and check out some of the other stuff we offer.
Thanks for taking the time watching these videos and yeah, like I said, get back to us if you want to see something at LeBlondUSA.com and we hope to hear from you. Thank you.
