NO! I will back way off now. NO troll intended. I simply have no one else to talk to about this subject.
FoxCNC1 "Just an update, my edge finder broke at 8K rpms" LOL! Toss whats left in the box. Hope you won't need a bigger box in 6 mouths.
I use solid probes as I work in tool steel and setups need to be quick and reliable. Winding up edge finding probes result in a box of broken parts.
underthetire, lol. 10k gets real exciting! Toss...
Oh! of course! You answered your own question. Absolutely, adjust for the "flipped" OP. Your fine, go to it! Use the tolerances you know to be true on the first OP. Compensate for the "flip". I wish...
Yeah, one inch deep assuming 1/8 dia. Rough. Make (relieve the shank) one then step down the passes in increments carefully as you now have a "weak" endmill, If it was steel this would be a no...
I'm with louieatienza here. Use a stop on the vise. There is something i'm not seeing here. For you to get to this point and not be able to "flip" the part with continuity. Something is missing. I do...
Ut oh! there is a single digital led numeric indicator on the motherboard, you may have to remove few screws and open the panel to see it. What does it read? 1 is good anything else is NOT good....
R8 most likely, 3 morse taper not so likely. Lets see some pics. http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/Images/250/250.1604.jpg or less likely:...
Ya, seems to be an issue in the file, DXF maybe? cad, DXF, some other extension related?
Its a par 29, the mine fields are out of bounds on the right and chinese communists are out of bounds on the left. M*A*S*H reference.
"edge finder at those speeds" WHAT! No no, no. We are on a different page here, No, edge finder does not spin in this case. Please be careful, I don't understand and that's ok. I have been wrong...
Unfortunately, cadcam is correct here. As I said "valid seat", its not yours so fogetaboutit! Yeah i'm from NY area and Italian, lol. cambam is ok and many other freewares, open source proggies will...
"a cute blonde imported me" lol, I love it! I knew it. Thank you for the return post. I'm still thinking about it! Can I borrow the blond? The fact you have "big mac's" and "pints" is only adding to...
So, I'm seeing a .0025 out if square relative to the table, machine or fixture. .0005 is acceptable as far as rapid repeatability. Is this an acceptable tolerance? Again, now that I see it better,...
Collective wisdom of the ZONE! I depend on this and I offer NO advice on your post, however! I WANT TO GO TO NORWAY! Is it all I read it is? Clean, quiet, beautiful, natural amazing environment that...
Get the pressure off the secondary oblong machining. It will produce better/reliable results. Period. Your "elbow deep", on the edge. Free cuts. Find what works for you and i'm guessing here (not...
Exactly! BTW, you will crash, put it out of your mind, it's going to happen. RESET! Back it up, GO AGAIN! that's it, that's that. Worrying about it will hurt you. lol
Your on to something here,...
Well, code "groups" can be nested (do a bunch of crap on one line), never combine the same group in the same block. It's a bit much to comprehend all at once however the rules hold true. I (me and...
I should explain. I machine only tool steels so I am biased to heavy, rugged situations. I have seen things happen that would make you cringe. It's not a rule but a good practice in my realm. Crash...
Well, that worked itself out, didn't it? LOL nice.
Get an indicOL.(cheap) your way too rigid there. After throw a dowel in it, tram the OD, easier to see, easier to use. However, what your attempting is "doable".
Your on the right track! Keep it...
I'm going to do the first tool before bed. This is what the post generated.

OK, its what Superman said. I was too tired to explain in this depth. Yes! Nailed it.
"The code is loose and scattered. Could you post the whole section of code so I can go through it? It needs...
After rereading this post, is flipping the part and hitting it from the back an option? I admit I am tired right now and don't completely see it. We're boring a larger hole through a smaller hole...
Messy code, that aside. I don't see any radius register offset call. To say G41 and not tell the machine where the radial sizes are located is like telling it nothing related to G41.
G41 X136.375...
Drill it a 64th under and ream it? Quick, easy, cheap. Downside, depending on speeds and feeds it may wander from perpendicularity. Boring is best however you may not need this accuracy compared to...
Well, old tired threading inserts I have plenty. Grind them into something usable. Make the the reach or size work in your favor. I wasn't thinking boring head but ok that gets the pressure off the...
I have no idea, never had any issues. Quick thought, screen shot, print? Alt - print screen (top, active window only). Paste to an editor (paint or the like. lol). PRINT!
wow, get it close then send in a finishing bore canned cycle. I use a lathe thread bar with modified inserts in my VMC's. Get the pressure off the finishing pass. I'm amazed at the results your now...
