you cannot the RPM when threading on the CNC lathes I've ran. Even if you back and thread the same part changing the RPM will throw it off

We have a couple of nakamura's and in the past I have had Methods Machine write a thread mill program for us.

We have two Mazaks amoung many other machine makers on our floor. I use Gibbs to program in G-code and got away from the Maztrol programming because I was always on the mercy of the operators who...

Sounds like a good plan to get everyone on the same page. The repeat switch must be the continuous running switch. Using M02 at the end of your program will most likely eliminate the continuous...

I would say your program restart switch is the one. I think the repeat switch is to repeat a tool. We do not have Daewoo's here so I am not 100% sure. You can make up a small program to index to a...

Where the switch is depends on the make of the machine some are buttons, some are switches that you push up or down (on or off), some are on the knob where you select edit,jog,handle, etc. It just...

Is there a 'continous' switch on your control board? We have many different versions of Fanucs and on many different make of machines and they all have a 'continous' button on them. If that switch is...

We programmed with G32 in the past, but have switched over to G92 because the quality of the last thread is so much better with the pull out faster.

I have thread milled thousands of parts mostly out of 316 st. st., Inconel and Hastaloy anywhere from 3/8" UN to 3/4" NPT thread depths yp to 4 diameters. I always start at the bottom of the hole,...

we use Advent thread mills. On a recent job we made a 1/2"-14 NPT took two passes ran 750 pieces in 316 st. st. and only made one adjust.

We are a production shop and bought a couple of DUALTURN20 Mazak years ago and have purchased many lathes since purchasing the Mazaks and have never considered buying another Mazak. They do not...

We have various Fanuc controls on a three different machine manufactors and they all work that way.

I agee with stupidog G10 should work for you.

M24 will pull out closer to a shoulder than M23. Years back when I went to training on CNC's the instructor told me when you want to get close to the shoulder slow the RPM down. I've always done that...

You can try World Wide Chucks http://worldwidechucks.us/. They support there products & do repairs.

When using an end mill to contour using rotary milling on the right spindle do you orient the tool to face the left spindle? When I orient the mill to face the right spindle Gibbs gives me an alarm.

g-codeguy is correct in that you need enough material to clean up the entire profile, but I have used the same insert or one with more radius to rough with. If your part has an undercut or your...

With that course of thread & that material you are not going to get very many parts per tip. All the insert companies will tell you will, but you won't. To keep your thread profile I use two cutters....

I'm not sure why you have a G91 right after a G90, but I always stop my spindle (M5) in my main program and depending on what style tool changer you have some need to have the T2 & M6 on different...

I'm not sure if you are say your tool is 10" or your cut is 10", or your DOC is .180 or .090. The material you are running and machine you are runnuing it on has a great deal to do with what you are...

You could put the Z.100 in your subprogram

I didn't have the NPT info with my Gibbs. That is why they sent it to me. Maybe it should have came with an update, but I did not get it.

I would if I could. I've tried and I can only send as a TXT file and I don't that will work. Call your local salesman or if you have a tool show coming up in your area and talk to them. That is how I...

I talked to a Gibbs person about NPT threads and he e-mailed me all the NPT threads and I just put them in my Process file, and have cut pipe threads with that ever since then. If my Z-Axis changes I...

We had this problem way back when we first started using water based oils on our CNC machines. When we called in the oil company (I can't remember who that was at the time) they said it was our...

We have had a Fryer since June 2004. Once they fixed a few code issues when we first recieved the machine we have had very little trouble with the machine. We do not always run it 10M rpm , but we do...

I had as simular problem when thread milling a stainless steel job. I added a pass and gave each pass a different wear offset to adjust how much materail each pass took. Everyone at my shop look at...

I am not familiar with programming Hardinge's, but looking at your program maybe you need to put in a spindle direction with G96. Funuc's are M03 or M04.

We have to MTM machines (plus 20 other CNC's) and i use Gibbs and am very happy with it. I tried MasterCam, but I liked the Gibbs better.
