Still didn't get the chance to try it yet. What's odd is that this is on a 2006 model and not listed in the manual, only on the help menu at the control.

Thanks for the input. Today when going thru the M codes in the help menu I stumbled across M395 and M396 for Z axis mirroring on and off. Haven't had the chance to try them out to see if they work as...

I recently saw this video on sub-spindle programming with a Haas,

I was wondering if anyone had the mirror imaging code for the...

M34 turns on synchronization in the program, M36 turns it off. In the setting page you're setting the reference point between the 2 spindles so that they can sync up on the same point or feature.

Hand wheel your sub spindle over with both spindles in turning mode, clamp the Chuck on the sub, then go to mdi, then to settings, select #21 for phase sync, then execute.

I would imagine the problem lies in the fact that in x y and z mode the feed is in feed per minute or feed per revolution, and in c the feed is in degrees per minute. To convert you use the following...

Are you making sure the spindle is stopped before giving the M11 command? If I'm not mistaking there is a command that links the machine to the bar feeder and with out the command it will not work as...

Excellent! Thank you.

Will this also work on a Fanuc style control?

I tried this in a different application today on a lathe, but it wouldn't post it as mentioned. It tried to enter it as an invalid tool number. I run numerous parts in the same family and would like...

Wouldn't it just be easier to replace the m30 or m02 with m99 and put an m00 on the line before it? Or have I missed something?

For breaking chips the biggest factor is to bury the nose radius of your insert. So for example, if you're using a 1/64" nose radius on your turning or boring tool then you need to be cutting at...

If you're drilling on the face it should be a G18 for the G83, if you're drilling from the side I believe it's a G19 and a G87 instead of a G83. The O.D./I.D. chucking selection will be selected in...

[QUOTE=Coolant Guy;663371]I'm a little biased since I work for Blaser Swisslube; and feel our products are excellent! Which Blaser product are you using?

My problem with Blaser is that you have to...

It seems to me that the spindles must first be synchronized before you can un-clamp the main spindle. I can't remember the code, but I remember having that same problem in the past.

Your speeds and feeds look like a good starting point to me.
But let me try to be more clear with spotting. With the center drill you'll want to go with a body size larger than your drill diameter...

What type of tolerance do you need to hold and how deep are you drilling? When selecting a center drill I generally go with a pilot diameter just under the drill diameter you're spotting. My general...

Correct me if I'm wrong but Arrows don't use way oil, so a skimmer won't be necessary. I'd still go with the bubble stone idea to keep it circulated though.

If I may I'd like to give my opinion on this and I'm sure someone will come along and give some better ideas. I do not like the idea of rubbing the shank against the work piece, I've seen this done...

Just a thought, what about trying an insert with sharper nose radius? If for example you're using a .031 radius insert try going to a .015 radius instead. Seems to me that this may reduce tool...

Don't know if this will help in your particular application, but this is how it's done with a Mori Seiki
M46 (Mill mode off)
M91 S1000 (M91 lets both run at the same time)
S1000 MO3

I should have thought of this before, because I've had the same problem. What I ended up doing was using a spring loaded collet stop, on the end of it I threaded a slug approximately the same...

Are you running through a collet or a chuck? Maybe try re-clamping head 1. I take it you're not cutting off or bar feeding?

Ok, I guess I'm not getting the M129 command, for rigid tapping I assume? I would've thought that it was M29. I'd go with the G32 method, and I'm sure you will have no problem in rigid mode if done...

I'm assuming you're doing this in a lathe, and G74 is left hand tapping for a mill. I don't remember the code for left hand tapping in a lathe, but the G32 will work.
