I machine a lot of these forgings as shown in the picture (See Attachment).
I use a G72 to machine the face down to size and a G71 to rough the shaft and put the front angle on. But we have to dig the profile out long-hand and it's line after line after sodding line of programming which is tedious to write aswell as time consuming.
Does anyone know of a canned cycle to cut a profile into a long shaft. I know there's a grooving cycle but it will only do straight line whereas we need a profile with a few radii in.
