Trying to do some threadmilling with a oi-MC control. The code has the following:

G41 D1

Threadmill is moving G03.

and of course, G40.

I'm trying to figure out what to put in the...

Sorry, I didn't realize the other factors were so important. It is a Hyundai Kia VX400 three axis vertical. The control is a oi-MC.

You are correct, it is definitely breaking the chip. This is...

Is there a way to ontrol how many revolutions in reverse the machine performs when doing a peck tapping cycle?

I have the follwing code:

G84 G99 X*Y*Z* R.1 Q.1 F*

The Q is the feed rate...

I'm not sure where I would find this. It has a Renishaw setter. Unfortunately, nobody here knows much about this machine. Guess it is time to learn :)

Have no luck finding either a physical switch or settings field to change, i have no idea what I did

Can you elaborate? Not sure what you mean.

It is in the final code. Sorry, I typed that out by hand instead of actually copying the file.

Program:

O0065 (ROUGHING PROGRAM)
G40G17G20G94G80G90G0
G0G91G30Z0
G90
T1M6
G43Z1.H1
Z.1
G1Z-.1F50.

00 EXT is clear in all three fields. X,Y, and Z.

Running a Hyundai Kia VX400 vertical with an oi-MC control. Have not had any issues with this machine until now. I have hit something and changed something somewhere and I can't figure it out.

Just started running a Hyundai Kia VX400. Unfortunately We don't have much documentation for the machine. I'm looking for the M code that turns on the flushing coolant that washes down the bed area....

First off, I have been doing Ti anodizing for years on knives and I am very familiar with that process.

I have some parts I am making that will require anodizing because they will need to be...

I just started a new job and this is the software I have been given to use. Not my first choice by any means, but it is what it is. I actually have two different versions. The First is Wildfire 4 and...

Thanks for the reply. That helps a lot. I am still having trouble grasping the practical use. I can't find anything online that explains it in lamens terms either. I have found some macros training...

I am new to a job where we use probes extensively. I have never been around probes other than Renishaw tool height probes.

The most common way that I see probes used at my new job is where a hole...

Also I have a 10k spindle.

I see a carbide three flute, TiAlN coated, 15 degree spiral treadmill on eBay. For about $75, I'm afraid to even buy it. Lol. I've never done any thread milling and I'm just afraid I'll break it.

Yes I have a 770.

I'd really like to try theeadmiling. I have never done it. I am afraid if it because I know a threadmill for a 2-56 hole will be very small and expensive. I know that would be a much better thread. ...

Good advice, thank you.

I know Emuge is another good manufacturer. I want to automate the process to remove the hand aspect completely. I know that a machine will keep it perfectly perpendicular...

I'm mainly doing 2-56. Since I'm doing form taps, I'm doing the drill a formed thread calls for. It is a 5/64 (.078" or so)

I've been trying to figure out tapping titanium for some time and I have had a lot of trouble with it. Initially I was using very good YMW Japan made cutting taps and I kept breaking them. I did a...

I had a situation yesterday where I was running a program cutting a pocket, and I was dealing with tool wear. My pocket ended up a little tight, and I did not have access to a CAM system to simply...

I am programming and don't have my machine in front of me at the moment. I am wanting to specify a S10000 speed, but I seem to remember that even though the machine is spec'd at that, it is actually...

I have heard good things about the raptors too. I may try a couple of them and see what I think.

I have the following tools I am trying to track down.

What part of AL are you in? I'm about 30 miles north of Montgomery, near lake Martin. You are right, the lightning has been terrible the last few weeks. Best of luck with your machine.

Sounds good. I'll get some ordered.

I did some work last night with what I thought were pretty decent feeds and speeds, but they still seem too high.

This is 6AL-4V Ti, and I found 50 SFM for...

Many thanks. I have never used a spot drill much, but after reading about them I see the advantages. Do they have a web similar to a drill? If so, does this web get smaller with smaller dia. tools?...

Looking for help on Ti SFM. What are you guys running? I have found anywhere from 20-150 SFM in research, and kind of been experimenting with 100.

I do a lot of small hole work and use a lot of...
