Hi Guys,
Im getting my feet wet with 4 axis work. Im starting simple with a haas indexer.
I want to make a part with a helical cutout along a circumference of a tube. simple : .250 slot rotating 90deg around the circumference and traveliing 1.0 along the X axis.
What are hte formulas to figure the feedrates for both X and the Indexer. I plan to do this in one shot to avoid repeating the operation/movements.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
