    new to NX UG

    Hi,

    thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I am doing a rough boring operation, is there an option that I can use to make the boring bar come completely out of the part on every rough pass?

    thank you.

    Use the drill/peck functionality and it can do it. You need to set your non-cutting moves to a plane slightly above the surface.

    Hi SSMrob,

    Thank you for replying to my question. When you said to use the drill/peck functionality, are you talking using it on the turning section of NX?


    Thank you again for your help.

    OH, yes, you can do the same thing and program it to exit the bore. I don't remember offhand how to set that up in lathe, I only used it for lathe a few times. I will pull up my old program and take a look.

    SSMrob,

    I will give it a try. The type of material we cut at this company requires that the tool comes all the way out to clear chips. They use other cam system and have written special macros for that but since I'm new to NX, I wouldn't know how to do that either.

    Thank you again for your time.
