Hi all. I have been working 2 Biglia lathes for the last year now.
I started this job after a few years of planning and estimating roles but I am at last back being productive.
I was used to 2 axis cnc's which I found frustrating as more often than not a part could not be finished and required another operation or two.

Now at last I have 8 axis to play with and a nice Fanuc 18i control.

Are there any other members using Biglia's. I'm learning from the book and my imagination at the moment. I have posted a video of one of my recent jobs.

I have tried running a macro that I wrote for chmfering a port but it was too much for the control to process.

Hope to find some ideas.

Thanks for the info.
I looked at their web site and watched some of the videos. There are some nice tools shown.
I will drop them a line.
Imagination is the key I think.

I work in Kent at a firm called ADEngineering. We specialise in complex mill turn parts, mostly using stainless steel.
What sort of machines do you operate? We have a 470YSM and a 658YS. Both with bar feeds. The 470 has a part collecting arm as well.
