Re: 316 stainless steel and 88 spindles to cut it with.
I am operating a Gang Drill that has 88 spindles
hi 88 ? do you have a photo/ link with that machine ?
i want to stop the insanity and figure this out, help me stop busting bits PLEASE.
before starting a program, is good to know that every alignment is within tolerances ( factory specs, etc )
i just shared a few tips in this thread : https://www.cnczone.com/forums/uncat...ml#post2278864
maybe they help for you also, just discuss them with the guys that does alignments arround there
i can't help exactly, since i don't know that machine .... if clearances are low, you may need another alignemnt technique, like the one described here : https://www.cnczone.com/forums/cnc-s...mall-tool.html
only after alignment is ok, only after that, you should start worry about tool geometry & cutting specs ( rpm doc feed, etc ); otherwise, you shot in the dark ... and guess what happens ? a dragon comes out, and a ghost, and they will align the machine for you, and also input good tools and good cutting specs
- that ghost can allign without tools and without measuring instruments, and also hit precision less then 3um, simply because, such things are not a problem for someone from the other dimensions; there are other kind of problems, and mere mortals problems are no longer a problem
- that dragon can input good specs for whatever tool and material, because he senses vibration of the tool, and also the chemestry of the material being cut, and can even use the potentiometer, to adjust specs, before an overload, simply, because, it is in his nature
think about it : find those guys, and you will never have to deal with such routines / kindly
