I have a small but awesome announcement for anyone interested.

My company is in the November issue of Midwest Manufacturing News (actually all 5 of them) and we're all very excited. I wanted to...

Hey Matt-

I have a couple Doosan Lynx machines and normally I always save with RS232. I'm quite confident that you need to change a certain setting to use RS232, rather than memory card. On our...

On my Tsugamis, BE20 and SS32, i've taken .150" depth of cut moving at .006" per rev with no problems on 304 S.S. I had 1250 PSI of good cutting oil right at the edge and I flew at around 4000RPMS...

Iscars 907 didn't work well for me either. I like Sandviks 1115 grade, but there 1025 is better, in my opinion.

good luck to you

We run a lot of 4340. We always run a Valenite WNMG432 NM6 WPP10 for roughing. We do about .100"- .150" depth of cut at 800 S.F.M. and run at .009"-.013 I.P.R. We get approx 50-80 pieces per edge....

For our steels (416 S.S., 1018, 1117, 12L14) and all aluminum we use YG-1 end mills. They are affordable, they stock locally around Chicagoland, they have a great selection and they work great. I...

Sir Denis Nayland and bborb are spot on correct. We run a line of Miyano34t's. This is the exact way we program. We have to input M90's (waiting codes) so as to overlap certain operations...

Sir Denis Nayland,

That is a good point. I had to run the job on 2 operations and we were behind. What a pain! Next time I'll be more aware of 52100 steel. I don't know how to avoid/prevent...

I was getting ready to set up a job on my Tsugami BE20. This was a basic turn, drill, bore, cut off/ pick up job. My boss said it was hot and we were just waiting on material to arrive. The...

I've run a similar job on my Tsugami BE20. We run a 304 S.S. job in which we turn 1/8" bar stock down to .055" in one pass. The shaft is approximately 1.2" long. I had an out of roundess problem...

You're probably going to fight the job a little bit, no matter what size guidebushing you have. I run some Tsugami SS32's and I've had bar stock similar to what you're explaining. You should be...

High Pressure is a lifesaver on my Tsuami SS32. I was using my HP pump at around 800PSI and I thought that worked well. I turning it up to around 1900-2000 PSI and I can push all my tools way above...

Geof,

Thanks for your input. I just programmed some pecks in there and I'm trying it now. It ran a few and didn't break. I hope it works.

Hello All...

I'm drilling two .070" holes in 6262 aluminum and I'm having some problems. The holes in questions are .070" DIA and 12 X deep. They are off center and on the face of the part.

I have a continually running job in which I have to turn 303S.S. down to .051 over a length of 1.2. I had a lot of problems with this bending; during turning and cutting off/picking off. I had to...

I think working with the toggles can be a real pain! I actually need to do that tomorrow morning, I think. I don't have a load of experience with the toggles on the sub side. Do you have any...

I figured out the problem this afternoon... I'm doing boring and drilling on the back end. I thought my "thru spindle coolant" was enough, but apparently the chips were building up too much. The...

Hello All,

I'm having a problem with my Tsugami SS32. I'm running a detailed aluminum job with 11/16 6061 aluminum. The machining on the main and sub sides are running properly, but I'm having...

Roughing and finishing on 303 in one pass, huh? I was turning a bar of 1.25" down to .517" over a length of 2.7". The material was 303SS. There's no way any tool out there would rough and finish in...

Coming from someone who has operated, programmed and set up both Citizen and Tsugami, Tsugami is a better machin and more user friendly for anyone familiar with G code and any Fanuc brain. I have...

Our job shop is looking for a sales rep/salesperson/consultant to help us bring in some new work. We need this person to be knowledgeable in the field of manufacturing. We are an established job shop...

Our job shop is looking for an experienced CNC programmer/set-up person. We are in the Naperville, IL area. Please PM me if interested. We are a growing job shop with Miyano, Mori Seiki, Citizen,...

I have a job running right now where I mill some deep, long slots and I use Niagara six flute solid carbide center cutting. They are great!

Good Luck!:cheers:

Hello All,

I'm having a problem implementing G41 and G42 when programming. I've always programmed without radius comp and lately I've been playing around with it.

When is the proper time to...

Please be more specific. I program/set up Tsugami 20MM's and 32MM's. The way I touch off front turning tools is as follows:
