Hello all, I am a total newbie when it comes to mills so I'm banging my head on the table trying to figure out how to thread on a mill.
The machine I am using is a 1994 Supermax, Max 1 Rebel with a Fanuc O-M controller. I am using Bob-Cad for programming.
I have created the program and ran it on the mill but the program does'nt have any G codes related to threading like G33, G92, or G76. It also just runs 1 pass. I have read in the books we have here at the shop and also read through posts and from what I can tell there should be one of these in the program. I'm assuming that our mill, being an older model, wont be able to us the G76.
What I'm trying to do as a test is thread an I.D. hole to 1" - 8 TPI, 1" depth.
I also would like to know how to be able to run multiple passes to get to the finish depth.
If anyone has an example of what the program should look like or have any advice for me that would be great.
Thank You.
