I think you have to use manual programming, write it out long hand and call your tool an end mill.

I've used AutoCAD for 10 years now and am curious, what is Parametric CAD?:confused:

That is exactly what happens but our fairy's name is Iscar and he also drops off an invoice with really big numbers on it(flame2)

Geof is correct, with one exception, today we have "sub-micron grade" carbide which is made from sub-micron sized particals etc. This allows for grinding very sharp edges and TRS (transvers rupture...

Who made the tool holder your making the screw for?

Absoleutly! Check out Iscar cutting tools. We use them all the time and they work great. We cut iron, steel and alu. and brass etc. Deeper thread depths would require more passes but most of the...

Remember to keep it as simple as possible.

All I can say is, it's to bad your not doing this on a Mazak. Multi-pieces are a snap with Mazatrol.

Well Chip, your correct on the ease of programming thing, but if he's making three at a time, then it's probably safe to assume that it's a lot of pieces he's making and there for efficincy is...

I'm with Jackson on the cut and paste thing. Also it's more efficiant as opposed to machining one complete, then the next, and so on.

Is the square corner (i.e. with little or no radii) to allow clearence for a mating piece? If so can it be machined out completely by drilling holes at each corner?

Just a thought.

Running multiple machines is fine under the right conditions. Therefore it can't usually be done all the time. What we do is have "machine loaders" what these people do is simply change parts. when...

Anyone who thinks for one minute that the lose of manufactuing jobs to countries like China dosn't warrent companies to become more competative is the real fool. (chair)

Not to mention the more variables you enter into the equation the better the chance of a malf.

Havn't ran one in ten years but they were OK then fairly simple as I remember.

CNC Tech. Design fixture for, set-up, operate and trouble shoot cnc machines. Especially machining centers.

My ques. exactly.

In your rendering of the knee type mill which would be the c axis? On the gantry type machine what would A axis be.

P.S. IMHO the 5 axis gantry type machine would be awsome!:rainfro:

Just curious, but why not 5 axis?:confused:

I agree if your not experienced with telescoping gages try dial bore gages.

LOL! maybe the big one:rainfro:

P.S. what control does it have?

Yes I know what you mean about the media. I think it would be awsome to visit the middle east my wife and I have been talking about going to Italy, I have family in Sicily. Anyhow do you have any...

Seems logical. Especialy if your having the same problem on both machines.

Iran? No kidding. And what do you make on your CNC?

Belt or direct drive?

Do you have the manuals? I haven't worked with one in a long time but as I remember there was a way to send out parameters etc. The manuals would cover this.

It's interesting how many people/opperators don't know what thats for.(nuts)

Would you be using a single point type tool or what?:rainfro:

Yea, just like that. Maybe it wasn't alzhiemers after all it was a subspace annomaly!
