Guys,
I'm quoting these Ti parts. Pretty simple round deals, except that the flange face and backside are not flat. Consistent wall thickness.
Just wondering if there was a way to program a lathe tool using the z axis to move in and out to interpolate the wobble.
I figure there's probably a way to program a ball end mill equivalent to a lathe nose radius. Two problems i see are; a milling program on C axis would turn really slow for a turning tool and the machine might not be able to be tricked into running a mill program on the lathe side.
I've seen youtube videos of turning crank journals on okuma, just don't know how myself.....
