I need a little help- I am just learning basic programming. I can do quite well with my HAAS tl-1, but when it comes to writing my own programs I still get stuck easily.
I currently need to machine this simple feature on the OD of a 1-1/4" round bar - a concave groove, 1/2" wide and 3/16" deep, or the diameter reduced to 7/8". The shape is rounded with a 1/4" radius specified. How would you write this program? I was going to round off a 1/8" grooving tool to make the cut. In the same area- I once tried to cut the same type of groove for a tube bending die. I'm sure this is obvious to many of you- but after hours of frustration- show me the light!
Many Thanks!!
