TORNOS Micro 7, Connector (EEM7003) - YouTube
You can see how they do it at around 1:10.
Looks like a tapered ID bushing. Maybe made from 440C Stainless or tool steel.

From the text file, which I believe is the one from WinCNC:
T0100-T900 *(Front side Gang tools)
T0200 X Y Z Q1 H K2 E
T700 K2
X.3 = Use X to position X after the tool call.
I do this all the time on our A20.
You shouldn't have to worry about that G50 distance that MCImes talked about if you use the K2 argument.
I use two G600's to block around that live tool call...
I replaced the belts on our A20 after the started squealing after about 3 years of use.
You do not need to remove the guide bushing. There is a cover on the headstock side of the guide bushing...
I have only used Habegger bushings in place of fixed on our small bar machine (<4mm).
Both the Habegger roller bushing and fixed bushing seem to hold tolerances comparably.
With respect to a...
This is a swiss machine? So .001-.003 DOC makes no sense, should be one pass, assuming .0004 IPM really is .0004 IPR.
303 is going to look dull and crappy most of the time coming off the machine....
Perhaps order an undersize barfeed collet?
We, through a screwup, bought a .295" bar loader collet for running 5/16" Delrin bar. I've never had one pull out of the collet.
Since you're on a...
Oh, an A20 Type 6.
I was describing how my Type 7 is set up. Mine has an air cylinder that actuates the knock out. Apparently a different setup than yours.
SHCS = Socket Head Cap Screw
You can adjust the position of the knock-out at it's extended position. Remove the rear subspindle cover (the one with two screws on top and one facing the operator). There is a 4mm SHCS that is...
I made a small plastic funnel that lead into a poly tube. I made mine out of delrin and turned a hose barb on the back. Mount that plastic funnel on the parts catcher so that it's concentric with the...
In the prep page, there is a "CORE D" soft key, this moves the tool down in X while moving to the core setting position.
Give that a try.
What material are you working with?
What tool are you using to spot drill?
Maybe some of the guys here could make some recommendations.
We have a Middex WK2 on our 20mm machine.
It works well as described, easy to interface in the machine. Each check is also very quick (<1 second).
I would have to agree with the idea of...
Ok, well the one part that was chipping cutoff tools has been resolved. I was using a 2mm NTK cutoff and didn't have much of a hold on it with the subspindle, maybe .050" of grip length. The 2mm tool...
Do any of you use your cutoff tool to create a chamfer or radius on the part before cutoff?
I've never has this work for more than a handful of parts before chipping the cutoff tool edge and...
With the insert life you are getting, I would focus on detection of the random failures.
Do you have cutoff tool breakage detection on your machines?
SirDennis: my 8" average remnant, probably 8-9", is on an A20. Is the distance from the back of the machine to the front of the bar loader what the manual calls for? And I think my end of bar...
Why is your remnant 1-2ft long?
My remnants on most jobs are no more than 8 inches.
I just used some ground 3/8" remnants to make some locating pins for a fixture I was making.
Not to...
We used exclusively RH cutoff tools and extend nose collets on jobs below 5/16" diameter. I use .039 wide cutoff tools for 5/16" and smaller diameters, but I do not do my back chamfers with the...
Are you drilling the front of the part?
I've had this problem where I was consistently missing a .015 radius on the front of a part. The bar was somehow consistently slipping .015 in the main...
I am used to the Fanuc controlled Citizens, not Mitsu controls.
G114/G814 are both spindle sync commands.
My A20 (again Fanuc controlled) handles the G650 with coordinate shifts just fine. My...
Just curious, why no G650? I have a part that is supported with the sub during basically the whole program and uses G650 the whole time, works great.
You have the right idea there.
G814 is...
Blends are tough.
On the part I was talking about, it wasn't really an issue, I think i was turning about equal passes from .625 down to .320 and the length of the part is less than 1 inch. The...
I agree with bluechip -- the error is saying that there is a command that cant be used in the shape program. The only command other than G0/1/2 in the shape program is TNR comp. I would be willing to...
Man that manual page reminds me of my old 1984 L16 manual. Actually is alot more clear than the L16 manual.
I still am surprised that I was able to decipher that gibberish. Taught myself how to...
jbrookes: how's that work for you?
I use a .0001 indicator in the GB, a mirror and patience.
Yeah, nice part SirDennis. It's cool to see what others are doing out there. Was that .093 hole thru?
Here's one of mine, only 10xD in Ti... but for this part, 90% is getting the drilling cycle...
I'm not sure what it normally does anymore, I have Q3 on every T3X00 call now...
Not using subprograms at all on this program, not even macros or anything. I doubt that the two are related.
...
Are you calling T34 to spot, then T33 to drill?
If you think about it, when you have normal tools set within the -.5 to .5 length range, you see the sub do a sort of diagonal move to the next...
What are you machining that you get 12 parts for tool life?
I get cranky when I have to change an insert once a day... haha.
