I have the LMS 3900 mini mill and had a problem with end mills pulling out because the manual says to hand hold the spindle when tightening the drawbar and I didn't know any better. It didn't take long till I had an endmill sunk into a part I was working on as it gradually pulled out. Use the locking pin in the spindle hole when tightening the ...
Thanks Ken. That makes since what he says about the torsion spring. However, LMS shows the new version 3990 mill comes with a gas strut. Others here are mentioning an air spring. I'm wondering if the gas and air spring are one and the same? BTW, I was looking at the Igaging DRO and looks like I'll be ordering them also. danny Laguna, Philippines
I just completed several upgrades to my LMS 3960 Hi-Torque Solid Column Mini-Mill that were relatively simple to do, yet the end result adds greatly to the capability of this fine little machine. I will describe the changes with …

So, small mill it is! This is a LMS 3990 Hi HiTorque mill. It was a prop on a reality show, according to the seller. He told me they added black paint "aging" to make it look grungier. The show was about how to quickly make guns. ... I've had an HF 44991 mini-mill for a number of years, added several LMS goodies (belt drive, hydraulic lifter ...
By the way, this kit should work with both the SX2 Mill (HiTorque LMS mill) AND the CN2 (HiTorque LMS Lathe). Even though 4 digits should ever be used by these mills, I added a spot for a 5th digit and a programmer header in case one of you has some other crazy setup that could use something like this Here's some pictures of the kit.

I was able to acquire LMS Mini-lathe 4200 7x12 and 3960 Mini-Mill machines a decade ago, before I took a job that kept me on the road too much to do much at all with them. Now, I'm retired and getting back to it. I'm the Ham Radio manager at a local Makerspace and just learning to use a 1940s South Bend lathe and equally old Bridgeport mill ...
Tramming a solid column mini mill I have a solid column Sieg SX2L mill and I have spent endless hours in tramming using shims and mirrors to read the DTI and when I managed X, Y was out. When I was fixing Y X was out and so on. My Sieg SX2L mill (similar to LMS HiTorque)
The LMS mini-mill has a powerful 500-watt (about 2/3 HP) high-torque brushless DC motor. Highly efficient, this motor is small for the amount of power that it puts out and runs cool enough that it needs no ventilation holes or fan.
I "pulled the trigger" this morning. I called Little Machine Shop and ordered the 3960 mini mill with precision tooling package, the rotary table package, and a snootful of goodies, bells and whistles. They said it should ship out tomorrow (9 …

I'm one but I don't have a 3990 mill that you're asking about. I don't know why there isn't an LMS subforum among the multitude of other manufacturer/vendor subforums.

I was milling a big ol' slot in a 2.5x2.5x3.5" of 6061 aluminum and after getting to the right depth (1.25") I realized that it was a a tiny bit too narrow so I tried to take a really light facing cut to widen it out and half way through the machine made an …

I've had my LMS Mini Mill for almost 6 years now and when I bought it I purchased and installed their power feed. I love the PF and use it whenever I can. Last Friday afternoon I when I was cleaning up, I turned and my shirt caught on the For/Rev shift lever and blew it up (see pic). I had just finished using it, but called LMS immediately and ...

I've never gone larger than a 1/2" end mill in the LMS, and that was a rougher to keep loading on the machine down. Mostly I stayed with 3/8" and smaller. But that's just me. You're not alone in the 'larger is better' arena. Which is why my LMS machine is just sitting around looking forlorn while the PM25 gets all the work.

But on the little bench mill sold by HF/Griz/LMS/MM they really do help make the head movement more repeatable/predictable. When I bought my little LMS mill I was really disappointed with that rack system on the column, but after doing the conversion I was able to make some pretty precise head movements (I used my 3-axis DRO for verification).

My LMS Hi-Torque mini mill has been collecting dust since I get the full size mill. I want to dabble in CNC but don't want a craigslist dinosaur that needs debugging. My mini mill is pretty pristine... would the mini mill be a reasonable candidate for CNC conversion? I see kits at CNCfusion for under $700 but without motors.
You must have the LMS 3990(if I got that right). I got the LMS 3960. Same mill except it has the spring. I measured the force on raising and lowering the head. Not real …
Hi All, I have a LMS SX2 High Torque Mini-Mill and have converted it to CNC via CNC Fusions kit. Everything is working fine except that the spindle will just cut out every now and again (maybe once a month) without any warning. It will do this early into a job (ie 20mins) or after it has been running for a while, under load or no load.
