I/we tap at 50RPM in stainless on a daily basis.

Interupted NPT taps are nice for aluminum and other soft materials, just don't use them on hard materials = snap!

Someone mentioned 1000RPM - that's way to fast to tap with NPT! Normal speed for...

PC software often has the ability to trickle feed the program to the control, thus saving space in the internal control and giving it the ability to run programs that are larger than its' internal...

It sounds to me that you are not actually sending the program to the machine. The program is running in FNC mode from your PC. This is fine if it runs OK and you have everything set properly on your...

Check out this link...

Lots of resources here.

Your welcome.

The C6 designation is for a style of brazed tungsten carbide.

Most are 1/2", the AR/AL/BR/BL refer to different shapes for various turning operations. The larger the number after the letter...

Have you tried running MC9 as a WinXP compatible program?

Right click on the shortcut, select the compatibility tab and change to WinXP compatible. This could help, or try playing around with the...

What machine/controller/manufacturer are you writing the code for. This information should always be included with your question. That way I/we can answer appropriately.

:D

Of course you could also take advantage of the additional work offset coordinates. Those being G154 P1/P2/P3, et cetera.

Having access to EDM machines, this is the way that I would add that feature to the part in question.

This is a very easy task for an EDM machine, you just need to add a hole in the center of the...

You should get a machine that has conversational programming, this makes it way easier to program simple or complex parts.

Here is a link to a web site that has the information that you seek.

I hope that this is...

You will have to do some reading on program planes.

On one program plane you have the teardrop shape, on another you have the other shape. I have not dwelved into this area enough to reliably...

Rust inhibitors used to be recommended by some edm builders, but are now no longer recommended.

From my own experience with them, they are mainly water soluble oils that leave a sticky film on the...

I recently mowed through some aluminum and have some suggestions.

Aluminum is highly conductive and thus can be cut very rapidly. I mowed through a 2inch block of aluminum, creating a fairly...

It seems to me that you have a bad encoder.

Corrosion builds up over time on the encoder reference mirror and this seems to be the problem in this case. If you have a mechanic you could try...

Have you considered the power requirements for such a machine?

You are aware of the fact that #101 is a common variable?

Being a common variable, it will hold its' value until told otherwise or at a machine power-off.

My point, once again is to reset #101...

If you properly examine the code, the variable #101 is not the life counter. That is variable #100 -which is reset in the line;

IF [#100EQ20] THEN #100=0


The role of #101 is to change the 'Z'...

I think HAAS uses mostly Fanuc code anyways -with a few alterations.

Don't forget to reset the one common variable at the end, otherwise it could start as 0.65 on the next run -right? Or am I...

Are you refering to a CAD/CAM Toolbox?

If so, that is exactly what I need.

I've been trying to export the ToolData from an Okuma 700 control, but so far unsuccessful.

I would give the aluminum more offtime since you want maintain a steady cut. Aluminum almost cuts too easy since it conducts electricity so well. So you have to slow down the pulses of current to...

This may sound like a stupid question, but are you using a G94 on the G01 with no feed value?
