You may want to consider using a thread mill to do this. You will need to modify your program for a G02 or G03 to perform the cut.

The tool is more more expensive, but should work a lot better...

I am positing this position for a professional colleague.

Palace Manufacturing is looking for a Lead person to manage the 2nd shift. The hours are 2:30 to 12:30 with lots of OT. They are...

I think there are number of good options on this board.

I have two options which have not been suggested.

First this could be done using a manual machine that was equipped with an orbiting...

As someone who bought 2007 (v22) for personal use I can understand how anyone trying to use it professionally would feel really slighted.

I think the concept that BobCAD had for V22 is great but...

I think the 100 lbs is not an issue. You can use either a servo or a stepper for this. The advantage of the servo is that it will fault out and know where it is. You will want an incremental...

I don't know first hand if you can do that but you might want to call SKF (they bought ABBA) or THK to see. I think they will likely say that you cannot and will probably tell you that the slides...

Since you are only moving CDs I would recommend using a belt drive system. It will be lighter and possibly faster than a lead screw. You will suffer on accuracy but you will get compliance which...

Having worked in biotech I am familiar with what you want to do.

There is no CNC program to do what you want. you will likely need to run the unit from PC. The unit is likely CAN bus and you...

I am assuming your issue is with the sketch.

I quickly did something similar to what you show and I did it as follows which I think is quicker and easier.

First I imported the geometry in the...

Paul,

I don't know anything about that company but in general, all those castings are made in Taiwan or China. I would purchase based on specs, controller motor combination as well as distributor...

dude,

Posts vary by software manufacturer. Only companies such as Icam or IMS (Intelligent Manufacturing Software) offer systems which will allow you to build a post but you need their software...

If the issue is marks, then only a mechanical method or very skilled polisher will do. Otherwise, the silicone should have no release issues. I would recommned you use the method which best suits...

I believe that is an inside micrometer. I have one form starrett which is not as old as the one shown. Nice piece. The reaon I think it is an inside micrometer and not a pair of clipers, is due to...

under file there is a prefreence section you need to fill out the baud rate and such for your machine. If you are not sure st the rate low.

I think the DNC send is under file as well. I use a...

I have looked at your file and would suggest saving your models in STEP format as you will get the surfaces to be better. DXF constructs a wire frame with surfaces between the wires.

I could not...

It might help to identify what control you are using. Some of the PC based or other controls may have unique designations.

Oh yse, the mill was a Haas mill probably a VF1? Not sure on the model but positive on the make.

the rims you saw were on american chopper I presume. I saw the black widow show and was surprised to see how they made the frames.

My estimation is that they turn on a large lathe or VTL a wheel...

Some more food for thought, when you interview pay close attention to the cleanliness, organization, and layout of the shop. This will give you a good indication of how the company is run without...

Buy good taps. If the ones you are using came with that tap wrench then you sould invest in better quality. I would suggest two fluters that is what I use when I need to tap 80/20 at work.

I...

I recall hearing that some machines, I don't know if the machine you are talking about is one, have issues where the encoder disk can loosen off the motor shaft. I might inquire about this. The...

Where did you get the Acad driver? I get sooo frustrated when I have to use autocad because, the space ball is so useless.

As for your macros in Acad and MDT, if you buy inventor the latest version, there is a way to model in Inventor and draft in MDT while maintaining the associativity.

You could try looking at icam or IMS post software packages. They are graphical and are flexible. You will need a licinse for each machine, but it may save you money in the long run vs. spending...

Yes, My doctor was an engineer who went to med school.

Typically, it is said that for every one hour of in class study you "should" spend 2 hours outside of class. I know of very few people who...

Sorry, I was such a bonehead. I thought I was repling to the otehr thread and instead hit new topic.

Congrats again. The fact that you found this and replied means you are a lot smarter than I.

Swede,

Whose tools are you looking at? The coatings are typically used to prevent the heat from attacking the carbide. Some offer abrasion resistance for materials which are abrasive.

If you...

I work in a start up with people of all backgounds. Many of my coworkers are MIT Phds. I have noticed that a Mech. Eng degree offers a lot of flexability as compared to other majors.

I don't...

I would suggest you talk to the tool reps. Many cutters and such will have very different operational paramters based on the geometry and coatings.

Kennametal is a good source of info. They...

I think that the easiest and best end product for knife handles would be to use a thermoset. You could use a hydraluic press with a mold. You would need an oven to warm the chunks of material.
