Cutting small indexing feature
It is a constant profile from top to bottom, however the width increases as it grows radially. I guess it is, or is similar to, a Hirth coupling as Nick Mueller suggested. Right now I'm leaning toward making a die and forming it. I'm a bit concerned about deformation, though, as the part is...- hesstool

Cutting small indexing feature
That was one of my first thoughts, but it has a trapazoidal profile at the root.- hesstool

Cutting small indexing feature
I need to cut a small face gear type feature that will be used for indexing medical implants and I'm struggling to think up an easy method. The part I'm working on is similar to the attached photo and has an ID of .290" and OD of .520". The width of the tooth root is .006" at the ID and .005"...- hesstool

Pricing your CNC work vs. Manual shop work?
When I started my business, I billed 15% more for CNC work than manual. But after my accountant found out, he made it perfectly clear the rates should be the same for both, based on the type of work I did. I raised my manual rates... :D- hesstool

Excessive noise only in x axis
It's been about 18 months or so when the spindle bearings died on my XV 710 and chatter clearly became a problem before I had it rebuilt. However, the only noise was from the spindle and not from any of the axes. So it doesn't make any noise while running the X and Y together? And is this a...- hesstool

OT: iPhone 5 CASE Project
Easier said than done as there is not much room to work with. I had a customer approach me two years ago wanting a "sexy" case made from Titanium for the iPhone4. After telling him how it was going to be stupid expensive he said money wasn't an issue and we agreed to continue the project with...- hesstool

Insert drill wich one to get?
You can't go wrong with the Sandvik 880. I use it in every material imaginable, from aluminum to superalloys. In your example, I would use my 15/16" drill to punch the hole and then rough bore. Finish it off with a boring bar. Do you have Sandvik representation or does your rep just not visit?- hesstool

Most distateful separation from employment
I can only guess which shop you're talking about, but there aren't too many Father/Son shops here in the Tri-Cities... And if you weren't born here, it's an acquired taste for sure. I wish you luck at your new job. -

Mastercam arc toolpath problems
And I think that's one of my issues. The same code will run just fine on a Haas, but will not work on our Cincinnati. Anytime the machine encounters an arc it alarms out giving a warning about arc endpoints being out of tolerance. One other thing. I can post this program to the Cincinnati... -
Mastercam arc toolpath problems
I'm sure there is an easy fix to this, but for the life of me I can't find it. I've been using OneCNC for years but I am now using MC X5. When calculating an arc for the toolpath, MC seems to take the radius and move it to the opposite side of the toolpath start point. I first thought it was a... -

FS: Volstro Rotary Milling Head
Not super positive on that Steve. Dimensionally, it's practically identical to the ER-25's I use on my CNC's. The only difference is the retaining groove. The collets with the Volstro don't have them. The collet on the right is the style that comes with the Volstro:- hesstool
