BOREMASTER TIPLAP Machine

[alan1bParticipant @alan1b]

Good morning,
I have a Boremaster TIPLAP machine, which I have refurbished.
Can anyone help with information of getting the indexing collet attachment for this machine, I have loads of endmills that need some TLC !
Thank you.

Alan,

There’s another thread on this site  that gives some leads to other owners, one of whom has (or had) a copy of the manual.  A few PMs may elicit further information and one response indicates that there was an article in either ME or MEW about a conversion to the machine to a cutter/grinder.  Some searching of the indices might shed further light on the subject.

Thank you John for this information.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Regards,

Alan.

Alan,

It’s no problem.  I have time on my hands at the moment as I await my first cataract operation next week.

I have found another couple of links that may yield some info:

A video on YouTube by Doubleboost  He starts the video with the Tiplap and mention of the indexing attachment commences around 2m55s.

Here is another link to Weymouth and District MES which gives further links to a pdf of the operating instructions that may prove useful including a pdf of David Haythornthwaite’s article on modifications to turn it into a cutter/grinder from MEW.

In a previous issue of MEW, some long time ago, there was an article on converting a Tiplap into a cutter grinder.

Unfortunately, it is no longer in my files, but am sure that someone will be able to find it.

Scroll up a bit, Howard.  My link to Weymouth and district MES is what you’re looking for.  Bottom of the page.
