We have mainly Eppinger. They defiantly can vary in price. I found them to be very reasonable currently compairing to MD/Kennametal/Von Ruden. I was wondering if brands like Heimatec were worth...

I'm wanting opinions on what are the best brands for BMT 55 live tooling heads? Are the more expensive brands worth the money? Do they last longer before needing to be rebuilt? Thanks

In a G76 2 block threading cycle I understand that in the first line the last 2 digits of the "P010029" are the infeed angle but there are a couple things I'm not quite sure about. If those last...

I appreciate the suggestions. I have gone through Rego's stuff and Haimer's stuff. Everyone just skips over ER 25. What we have done before is taken indexable insert mills and welded the collet...

Thanks deadlykitten, that is exactly what I would be looking for but the problem is it is only offered in ER 32. That is my problem with all the different tooling solutions. Everything seems to...

I "might" (fingers crossed!!!) found an option with the shunk TRIBOS for one specific application but I would still like to hear what others opinions are.

I am familiar with the option MD tooling (MT Marchetta) offers for replacing arbors but most of our holders are Eppinger beings that is what is supplied with the machines. I have never taken the...

I read in one of your comments you do a lot of work with a TT1800SY. We have several & the problem I run into is holding endmills with the live tooling. Long story short, I have been through...

What are the kinds of issues people have when balance/pinch turning? I am looking at turning with the top and bottom turret at the same X & Z positions. Programming isn't a problem but what...

Anyone have any experiences yet with Sandviks new CoroTurn Prime? I'm wondering how it has been working for others? I believe we are going to do a test in the next month sometime. I seen there was...

Oi control?

There are a variety of controls. There are machines in operation yet that were built in 1987, I believe is the oldest. So there is everything from 1987-2017. :(

I'm looking for a way to eliminate relying on each individual operator to follow guidelines. I'd rather get a parameter set so they are forced to do so. :D

Any way to keep our programs so they are only stored on our network. Other than the one (and subprograms) they are currently using.

There would be a variety of Fanuc controls. What we would be trying to accomplish is not have any machine store more than the program it is using. Meaning you have to output/punch the program you...

Is it posible to set the maximum amount of programs a control/machine will store in its memory?

That would be good news if Predator would be able to separate them as I believe our intention is to purchase that.

Is there a fast and easy way to punch all the programs that are stored in a machine? We are considering updating to a networked DNC system and would need to back up every program saved on the...

Not friction welding in the CNC lathe. We have some friction welders and would then be putting them in the lathe and turning thru the welded area.

Anyone with experience turning a friction weld on a CNC lathe? Tooling? Toolpaths?

I'm not sure what we ended up doing but this machine has been gone for a few years now. Thanks for the input.

I appolagize for being so vague but we have tried so many different things already, it would be too hard to list. Some more info tho. 3000RPM max 2.25" 6061 extruded Acculine bar purchased from...

We have some very rough finish being left by our cutoff in 6061 aluminum. I've read a lot about how 6061 can machine very differently but no good answers on what to do with the stuff that does...

It is an Oi control

I am using a 266RL-16UN01C140M 1135 5907005 to be exact. The 120 degree tool is confusing to me?

I tried to add an image out of the book but it doesn't appear to have worked

As Is recommended with a C geometry threading tool from sandvik

If I change the first lines P010060 to a P010059, does that give me a 1 degree flank infeed?

How is a G76 1 degree modified flank infeed thread programmed in Fanuc G76? Currently I have a ID 7/8-14 UNF-2B programmed as 1st line = G76 P010060 Q050 R.001 2nd line = G76 X.875 Z-2.800 P320...
