I do it in a similar fashion, I use a Kurt vice for each pair of rockers, one I fit with some special jaws to hold the 2mm at the bottom of my billet the other has soft jaws fitted machined to the...

Seriously chap you are doubting science ! lol Fortel is just a trade name for 7075 which is a chromium, titanium aluminium, very strong, low density etc etc.... I can't believe you spelt ...

Also it is never a good idea to back out of a slot whilst cutting.... always back out clear, ie G01 to bottom of groove and then G00 out again, then move in Z to finish the width even if it is a...

I have bobcad..... never used it though because it was all over the place, pretty much as you are finding really... total waste of time and money, help desk response as I assume you are finding out...

not on a 220M 3 axis mill turn

It is also independent of the Tornado220M !!! ie it is NOT fitted or able to be fitted to my knowledge.

What do you mean by dynamic graphic ?

All that a 220M has is the graph feature and DRY RUN and on a few "MANUAL GUIDE" nothing else...

too fast and it breaks .... too slow and it can burn out but surely the cutter supplier / manufacture would have that information ? 50 RC isn't that hard, I mill 74 RC parts

Blue chip ? as in Blue chip tooling in Coventry ??

That software looks interesting.

It does, but if you step through each line it can be easier and quicker, I haven't had a crash in years doing it my way, if I used CAM then I would definitely use the "DRY RUN" button

I don't think you do unless the depth (diameter difference between bar and groove) is very shallow... Are you using Fanuc control ? in which case use a G75 which is a side grooving cycle

Fanuc...

If you mean simple G & M coding then try EDITCNC I find it has all that I need, and I run a multi axis lathe with magazine bar feeder.

There is no confusion.... the 220M definitely has graphical view, ie tool tip tracing that you can see as the tool moves. and the 220M can also have "manual guide" however this is very rare on a...

All Tornado 220M's have graph facility the button would be "custon graph" not "cstm gr" that will be on the 220 ie 2 axis only machine

Have you a button marked "custom graph" ?

Can you give me more detail ? do you mean you cannot find the screen and need to know how to get to it ? or that you can get to it but you need to "set" it to fit your job size ? both are very...

I have some information about this lathe, but mostly it has been gained from asking a few people that know how to program the 21I Fanuc language with driven tooling, etc....

However I would be...
