I'm trying to burn a convex radiused lathe tool bit in my Agie 100. So basically I am trying to put end and side relief (5 degrees) in the cutter.
My problem is on one side and the end I get the 5 degree angle. Then on the other side it turns into about 8 degrees. This is one continuos cut.
It does it on rough and trim cuts.
I programed the part using:
P01 S01 D01 T01
P01 S02 D02 T02
P01 S03 D03 T03
P01=05.00 in the job file.
The part starts in -x direction = 5 deg
turns in +y = 5 deg
180 deg ccw end = 5 deg
goes -y = 8 deg
turns -x = 5 deg
As you can see, one place it goes to an 8 degree taper
Any ideas why???
I'm totally new to this, and the manuals are worthless asfar as I'm concerened.
How should I actually program tapers.
PS: I did check my wire alignment, and it is aligned in the U and V axis.
