  1. Re: How do you use a test dial indicator to find a center

    Agreed.
  2. Re: How do you use a test dial indicator to find a center

    NO! I will back way off now. NO troll intended. I simply have no one else to talk to about this subject.
  3. Re: How do you use a test dial indicator to find a center

    FoxCNC1 "Just an update, my edge finder broke at 8K rpms" LOL! Toss whats left in the box. Hope you won't need a bigger box in 6 mouths.
  4. Re: How do you use a test dial indicator to find a center

    I use solid probes as I work in tool steel and setups need to be quick and reliable. Winding up edge finding probes result in a box of broken parts.

    underthetire, lol. 10k gets real exciting! Toss...

    Re: Two sided part

    Oh! of course! You answered your own question. Absolutely, adjust for the "flipped" OP. Your fine, go to it! Use the tolerances you know to be true on the first OP. Compensate for the "flip". I wish...

    Re: looking for 1/8 end mill with 1"cel

    Yeah, one inch deep assuming 1/8 dia. Rough. Make (relieve the shank) one then step down the passes in increments carefully as you now have a "weak" endmill, If it was steel this would be a no...

    Re: Two sided part

    I'm with louieatienza here. Use a stop on the vise. There is something i'm not seeing here. For you to get to this point and not be able to "flip" the part with continuity. Something is missing. I do...

  11. Re: How do you use a test dial indicator to find a center

    Its a par 29, the mine fields are out of bounds on the right and chinese communists are out of bounds on the left. M*A*S*H reference.
  12. Re: How do you use a test dial indicator to find a center

    "edge finder at those speeds" WHAT! No no, no. We are on a different page here, No, edge finder does not spin in this case. Please be careful, I don't understand and that's ok. I have been wrong...

  14. Re: Lurker cautiously emerges! Just ordered a Chinese machine HOLDING BREATH!!

    "a cute blonde imported me" lol, I love it! I knew it. Thank you for the return post. I'm still thinking about it! Can I borrow the blond? The fact you have "big mac's" and "pints" is only adding to...
  15. Re: Long tools(10+ Dia) and calculating speeds/feeds

    So, I'm seeing a .0025 out if square relative to the table, machine or fixture. .0005 is acceptable as far as rapid repeatability. Is this an acceptable tolerance? Again, now that I see it better,...
  16. Re: Lurker cautiously emerges! Just ordered a Chinese machine HOLDING BREATH!!

    Collective wisdom of the ZONE! I depend on this and I offer NO advice on your post, however! I WANT TO GO TO NORWAY! Is it all I read it is? Clean, quiet, beautiful, natural amazing environment that...
  17. Re: Long tools(10+ Dia) and calculating speeds/feeds

    Get the pressure off the secondary oblong machining. It will produce better/reliable results. Period. Your "elbow deep", on the edge. Free cuts. Find what works for you and i'm guessing here (not...
  18. Re: Looking for help machining my first CNC part!

    Exactly! BTW, you will crash, put it out of your mind, it's going to happen. RESET! Back it up, GO AGAIN! that's it, that's that. Worrying about it will hurt you. lol

    Your on to something here,...

    Re: g41 error ?

    Well, code "groups" can be nested (do a bunch of crap on one line), never combine the same group in the same block. It's a bit much to comprehend all at once however the rules hold true. I (me and...
  20. Re: Looking for help machining my first CNC part!

    I should explain. I machine only tool steels so I am biased to heavy, rugged situations. I have seen things happen that would make you cringe. It's not a rule but a good practice in my realm. Crash...

    Well, that worked itself out, didn't it? LOL nice.
  22. Re: How do you use a test dial indicator to find a center

    Get an indicOL.(cheap) your way too rigid there. After throw a dowel in it, tram the OD, easier to see, easier to use. However, what your attempting is "doable".

    Your on the right track! Keep it...

  25. Re: Long tools(10+ Dia) and calculating speeds/feeds

    After rereading this post, is flipping the part and hitting it from the back an option? I admit I am tired right now and don't completely see it. We're boring a larger hole through a smaller hole...

    Re: g41 error ?

    Messy code, that aside. I don't see any radius register offset call. To say G41 and not tell the machine where the radial sizes are located is like telling it nothing related to G41.

  27. Re: Long tools(10+ Dia) and calculating speeds/feeds

    Drill it a 64th under and ream it? Quick, easy, cheap. Downside, depending on speeds and feeds it may wander from perpendicularity. Boring is best however you may not need this accuracy compared to...
  28. Re: Long tools(10+ Dia) and calculating speeds/feeds

    Well, old tired threading inserts I have plenty. Grind them into something usable. Make the the reach or size work in your favor. I wasn't thinking boring head but ok that gets the pressure off the...

    Re: Mastercam X8 printing issues

    I have no idea, never had any issues. Quick thought, screen shot, print? Alt - print screen (top, active window only). Paste to an editor (paint or the like. lol). PRINT!
  30. Re: Long tools(10+ Dia) and calculating speeds/feeds

    wow, get it close then send in a finishing bore canned cycle. I use a lathe thread bar with modified inserts in my VMC's. Get the pressure off the finishing pass. I'm amazed at the results your now...
