Does anyone know how to draw these in 3D.These products are machined using 4-axis OKUMA OSP in my workshop.Thanks

I do not own MC,
BUT
I can build models of these types of forms and e-mail them to you in several formats: STEP(AP203/AP214, IGS, SLDPRT(SolidWorks), ACIS (SAT), XMT (parasolild), etc,
You can then program them with MC,
OR
I can furnish you with code for your machine.

Do you got a drawing of them??
I could probably draw them.

If one has a drawing why does one need to draw them?
If a drawing is available it should already have data such as minor dia, major dia, pitch (variable or constant) root radii, crest radii, form cross section, etc,
With this type of data a solid model could be created.
A full solid model would allow the data to be generated to cut the parts.

You need a drawing or sketch to create a solid model.
Do i just make it 100in. in dia??

If you can e-mail me a drawing of a part.
It can be a scanned drawing, autocad file, etc.
A dimensioned drawing in lmost any format will work.
A scale digital drawing without dimentions in almost any format will also work.
I need a mathematical description of the curves required to generate the parts.
I also need the make and control type of the CNC lathe you are going to cut them on.
There are hundreds upon hundreds of different CNC lathes and each one programs a little different.
I am not pulling your leg.
I can help you if you can give me enough information to work with.
My qualifications are as follows:
I am a certified manufacturing engineer with over 50 years of shop floor experience. I have a backbround in metallurgy, heat treating, fabrication, metal-cutting, grinding, EDM, mold making, tool making and machine tool building and repair. I have owned, programmed and operated almost any type of CNC machine built. (as well as pre-digital age manual machines)

A Drawing is a picture of the part. Hardmill wants to help you mke a "model" which is more like a "real" part in real 3D space. I have a video somewhere. Do you have solids? It can be done in 4 minutes with solids.

Check the web site below tomorrow. Look in Products, Mastercam, Free Videos, Large Videos. Look for "Screw Auger". It will be about 11 mb, but it will show you exactly how to do it with solids.

And this is the one which my collegue machined it using the OKUMA OSP 4-axis. l just wonder how l draw this in 3D form and to determine the axis of machining.
