i agree with geof... ive used a scotchbrite wheel on inserts before and took chatter away. amazing that you gotta dull em to get em to cut lol

why cant you just edit the program and change the tool numbers before you run it. that would save pulling all the tools out between setups.

The simplest way to achieve helical motion is by X and Y circular interpolation (G02 or G03) with a Z value added per revolution. Use an I command to specify the distance in X from the starting point...

i found some more 3d puzzle files online in dxf. the rose is 18 gage stainless and the tower and chess set is 11 gage.
