Hey guys I operate an LB 3000 EX MYW machine.
In my never ending search for versatility I run into a small problem, I know nothing about capto! Lol
My concern isn't with the capto design but my need for a double y holder (probably c3 I assume).
I am constantly running out of positions in the turret with the hobbing unit on (it takes up 3!) & I also have to reach over the sub spindle when using it as a tail stock. This would be my dedicated rough / finish tool position.
On one day I need a deep cut high metal removal, the next day I need clearance for the sub spindle on a small part...
Would a C3 be comparable to an inch shank tool? Or stronger?
My inch shank tool now has a block welded on it to beef it up & it made a lot of difference. I wouldn't be able to do that with capto.
My next question is what does every one like for double "y" live tooling?
We currently use a WTO HOB, & Von Ruden for the rest.
I was hoping some of you ther okuma guys have had similar problems / solutions.
Thanks in advance!
