We have similar issues running brass, along with the super fine particles becoming part of the coolant.

I thought I had pretty much explained that I checked the option and it was adjusting the feeds for arcs in the opposite direction. I didnt even mention it running in the machine, but what you said...

I have to agree with Mike, if you can imagine it, then you can do it, dont let anyone tell you otherwise until you prove it to yourself.

If like you said, you had your threaded stock centerless...

Well, the issue with the erase, I had never done it and it was not mentioned in the manual at all. Turned out I coudlnt do anything because of the edit key which is a doh moment, but I never use it,...

Hah, thats actually pretty funny. Out of all our mills the milltronics is by far the worst. We've had issues galore with it. The control can be pretty nifty, but it is by far no comparison to others....

no one?

This is why you run through a program for the first time in single block as well as dry run..

You should have been able to see with your own eyes that the drill did not have enough room.

I...

you could always make one..

wow totally wrong forum bud!

But anyway, at my shop we use high pressure to break up chips, thats all it is for. HP Coolant is not meant for cooling as you may think, but rather to bust up chips....

Hey, so I noticed this option and thought it was great in that i could set a minimum feed and it would calculate the arc feeds so that the cutting edge was moving at the feed I wanted..

Only, its...

Pro process is right in that many here arent going to want to or be willing to give away their secrets.

But there is no fast way around changing out all your collets, setting the pressures,...

This is driving me completely bonkers. I was in a rush friday to get a tool made so we could get it out to heat treat by the end of the day but I hit a block when I coudlnt send a program to my mill...

less rad, sharper insert.

check your lead, and most threading will produce a burr at the beginning of the thread in my experience; its always best to chase the thread with a chamfer

For what possible reason does the part NEED to be right up against the shoulder? leave yourself .005-.010" and you're good to go. Ive never had any issues simply holding on an OD, and in fact ive...

Anyone have any tips on how to prevent hard steels from dishing on cutoff? Im cutting an H13 part roughly .200" long and I am getting almost a thou dishing from edge to center.
This really isnt an...

like proprocess said you can turn over the thread after to clean up the major, or in my opinion you can look into the tooling youre using, and/or adjust some feeds and speeds aside from what was...

sound to me like youre doing more forming than cutting during threading and its pushing the material outwards

Well, you mention 1/4" hex, the first thing I was gonna say was guide bushing tightness but since you say its completely round, then I am guessing that this diameter you speak of is one of the...

I dont find it very time consuming at all to toss a tool in the machine..

TXXXX
G0X(bar dia)
put in tool, snug it down, jog x up, tighten down. good to go. A little different with the live and...

I worked in shops throughout my summers at my fathers place of business and eventually I made the decision to start an apprenticeship rather than going to university (please dont berate me about my...

My 2 cents from my recent experience running 1/4" delrin

plastic is a nightmare.. the variation in size from one bar to another screwed with my head so bad.. constantly had to adjust my guide...

Makes sense, the machines can surely give you a false sense of security sometimes. Just when you think youre fully comfortable..WHOOOMP, heh. Though to me 2 seconds to me is still a lot of time, I...

Wouldnt it have been much faster to just set the tools correctly?.. and especially over a production run

Well, I'm not that seasoned and I cant provide you with any template as I have none but I can answer some of your questions.

$1, $2, $3 etc are simply your head1 head2 etc, only you cannot run the...

Well I can go with the linear increments, but that just means a lot more calculations, and if it is 'lagging' like it is with only 8 points per 360 then I could only imagine going the linear route.
...

Do you mean two seperate things by your post?

By "resolution" I mean the number of points per 360 degree rotation along the spiral. A value of 2 would have 2 points, and thus 2 half circles, which...

I wrote a macro to create true spirals for use in my shop for things like threadmilling or some roughing. All the caclulations are correct and Ive used the verify function on the mill I tested it on...

aye indeed the program does run P9810 after its checked if x is below zero or not. However I coudlnt find anywhere in 9810 that it was used.

Before I got back on here I found in the fanuc book...
