Fluting rifle bolts with the rotary attachment ?~

Im just wondering if it can be done.

Cheers

Yes with no plasma torch....... that makes it pretty useless !

Its fine if you already have a plasma but youll still need a different torch for CNC or youll have to duct tape it up :)
Tormach...

Thanks Sin, I was looking at those Automates with the live tooling it makes it a different animal all together than the slant and probably a need to have with production parts

Hi folks,

Sorry I used the search function but came up with nothing.

How well do you think the Slant lathe would handle the likes of threading barrel tenons and chambering ?

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply and food for thought.

I suppose im trying to save on tooling or better save money to be able to afford more tooling.

I had thought that about tool length offset but hadnt...

So whats your opinion on setting up an interchangeable tool library ... if that makes sence.

Thanks for the fast reply guys, that answers my question.

I was watching a clip on youtube (cant remember who) and it was mentioned. I believe they were using auto desk

Not that up on terminology but why cant a tormachs 4th axis turn while it cutter is cutting ?

Is it a physical thing that the machine doesnt have the ability to or is it a software issue ?
...

Looking good ! Im sure despite it not being as heavy gauge as youd like it still will function perfectly and im sure we all can stand back after making something and think..... I could have done that...

haha ya i saw that video. As much as Id love a 1100 i think itll be to expensive so depending on overall price the 440 with ATC might be a forerunner

Anyone with any inside info as to when the ATC/power draw bar will be coming out ?
