I just finished a job that is exactly what you are doing (may have done by now). I used a tapered cutter to go around the hole and set up the angle.
Then used an NPT thread mill. Went down .250",...

I am having a problem going from one tool to the next with out going home after each tool operation. With this controls software, there is no tool geometry page. All tool coordinates are written into...

I have a Wasino LG71 lathe that uses gang style tooling. I am having a problem going from one tool to the next without going home after each tool operation. At one time I used this control on a...

It sounds like the toolpath is key to proper tool life and making this work. As long as you have the proper control on the machine end.

My CNC milling experience has always been on older machines, cutting in a conventional manner. I have never tried cutting in a high speed manner, nor have I talked to any one as to how this is done...

Thanks, you bring up some good points. I do have the end mill taking off more than it should in one area, the program does need refinement. I was wondering if taking less off at a higher rate is the...

I believe you would have to draw the chamfers in to get that result. Thats what I have been doing in lathe and mill.
I have noticed an interpolated move in the program on a sharp corner before,...

I am in need of a Gibbs mill post for a Mitsubishi Meldas M320 control.
Anybody?

These are just 2 different control mfgs.
Machine mfgs. decide what brand of control they will use on there machines for what ever reason, price, features, etc.

I have found that I have to keep the power "on" button depressed until the hydraulics kick in.

Typically cylinder sleeves are cast iron. Reason being, good friction qualities, partly due to excellent oil retention ability. The thinest liner I have seen used has been .04" wall. In my opinion...
