Nationar Footbar Reague.....Japanese version of the NFL

And if you were working for me and had to "screw around" with a helical tool path you'd be looking for your next job. I can write the program for that quicker than you can grind your flat bottom...

One thing I figured out long ago about holemaking.
You mill some parts, you tap some parts, you bore some parts, but almost every part a machinist touches has a hole in it! There are some exceptions...

There are some secrets to deep hole drilling, and at over 5 times the diameter deep, that is deep hole drilling.
The biggest problem you face is keeping the hole straight, the deeper you drill the...

Carbide end mill, all the rpm's you've got, helical with multiple springs and you should be able to hold size all day long.

then go kick the engineer that designed that hole in the nads...6x deep...

Yes, you could in 2008 as well.
When you open a 2nd instance of ESPRIT , and it tells you it does not support it, click the no option and a 2nd instance will open. You can cut and paste and drag and...

Thanks for the input fellas.
I am looking at Cat 50 stuff.

I am looking for opinions on tool holders from Bison and YG1.
I am looking at a large purchase and have been quoted quite a bit of their stuff.

Have you used them, how is their quality?

Thanks

Collets are always better than jaws.
Are you making these from solid or tube? If tube then I would plug or ring where clamping.

I would never let a shank rub!
You can relieve the shank, but if you look at your end mill closely you'll see that the very tops of the flutes are not sharpened, be sure to reliev that as well. The...

Phoenix,
On VMC's, and really all machines for that matter, there are 2 basic ways of setting tool lengths. It is either a distance from home to Z0, or your fixed measuring point which is what you...

I have to disagree with both previous posts.
There is a difference between live tooling and Milling capabilities.
Live tooling simply means, as TCooper stated, that you have some type of external...

This is a very poor test!

Lol---I thought your name waas Tim Allen!

Take all those irwin drills and give them to a friend who isn't serious about machining. Then go buy some decent drills. If you get on MSC you can get a brand called Hertel, they are inexpensive and...

OK,
Well I would say general machining discussion.
And Jim,
Machinist is a general term, I would guess the "Real" machinist you are refering to would be a "Master Machinist", but our trade rarely...

You just asked for a catalog.
You need to be much more specific.

Some inserted tools with a rounded edge can handle a 5 deg ramp, but for a square shoulder I stay around 3. I have done 4 in aluminum, but as I do not have a high speed spindle, it didn't like it!...

ROFL
Well aren't you just a go-getter!
Hire him, he's good help!

Don't hire him, he can't follow instructions.

Where is Garland

Got CAD?
Lol

Ohh, first thing I guess is..learn where to post stuff.
This is the Machinist feedback in the RFQ forum.
LOL

Where can you go;
CNC Operator, Skills vary from "Button Pusher" to part measurement, offset changes etc..
CNC Machinist, this guy knows alot more about machining than an operator, he is who most...

Most of the time, most machinist believe Certificates aren't worth the paper they are printed on if you can't back up the knowledge it says you have.

With that said, the biggest thing I see most...

Well you can go as far as you want to, or not far at all.
Machinist Jobs Start at "Button Pusher" positions that really needs very little education.
They get as Complicated as Process Engineering...

What Jim Said!

"CNC Plasma Machine" is a big ocean.

What size of machine are you looking at or price range.

I just happen to know where you can get one that does all of the things Jim says...

If I got this right....
You enrolled in a class, and now your on the internet asking us what the class is about?
I must be really lost here?

I have learned and taught from it.

Well?
Lol?
What'd you buy?
