Thats what I was doing on the last set. I was doing a 2d High Speed Peel Mill.

After two parts, the tool broke about 10 passes into the 3rd part. I just lowered the feed from 26.5 (.0047 base CL ) to 18.55 ( .0033 base CL ). Load meter is now pegging at 7 at max engagement.

Steve,
Yes we do leave the machine on in the dwell if we are expecting the next shift to come in. In instances where the operator is not coming in that day, the Tech for the machine will put the...

I usually use a straight flute drill to the minor diameter of the threaded hole or one size smaller and slowly drill through the tap to clear it out. Works sometimes, but not all the time. OTher...

Example of how to write your offsets:
before you run your program, enter these lines with the red numbers being your machine position for X,Y and Z zero for your program.

We use an Elbo Controlli Pre-setter to set our tools, but before we go it, we would set our tool length off of a flat surface (i.e. center jaw of a vise) with a 1.000"block. This would give us a...
