I have done quite a bit of threading on our machine using a threading tool.

But my boss wants me to use a tap to do a M16x2, and I can't figure out the best way to hold the tap. I've done lot's...

It is square bar so I want to run as fast of rpm as possible over the rough portion to save cutters.

But doing to math at .875 with 200 SF/pm thats only around 1200 RPM through the rough.

We have a 3" opening in our drawtube and we are going to have to line a piece of 7/8 square.

I looked a trustycook.com for a custom liner but it was nearly 400$

We have a Haas ST30-SS with the 24 station turret and we use the factory holders. The OD turning holders when placed on have almost no slop at all but our ID toolholders have alot of slop to them.

Ron,

I finished the groove and everything is fine but I had to do some sanding to get my corners smooth enough.

The piece is 6.625 OD and was turned down to 4.850...the groove width was 2.469....

Hello,

I am making a groove that is close to an inch deep on a side in 304 SS material and I am using a groover that is 1.25 long. I am using a feed of .002 with a SF/M of 200 which usually works...

We have a Haas St30 with the auto probe.

When you touch off a drill you have to put the highest point of the side of the drill over the probe scensor and then go into .001 mode.

Then you hold...

Does anyone know of a place I could find schematics of the Haas machines? The books they come with are not very in depth.

Also is there a place where i could find info about threading such as the...

I figured out how to control the g76 manually...go to setting 99 and make it what you want your first pass to be...make you D. value match that.

And make setting 86 what you want your final pass...

Could you give me a g76 program example that you have done? I know the machine shouldnt be making 20 passes to cut my thread I'm only going .078 deep and have .009 as my first pass.

Ideally I...

The thread I am making is a 3/8 ISO 228 Witworth it's some crazy british thread.
I am getting a 55 deg insert so I shouldnt have to do anything special. Do you ever use the IPS g76 cycle or do you...

After I make my last pass with the threading tool I re-run my profiling op over the lead in and thread to clean it up.




What do you mean by profiling op? And with a .005 DOC wouldn't that...

When threading it says not to use constant surface speed. I usually run about 255 RPM. My threads turn out usable and work fine but aren't as pretty as some I see.

What is the secret to getting...
