This is a new part for me. 1-1/4" OD with 1/2-20 ID threads. I'm running from bar feed in CNC turning center.
Photo is before and after chamfering in drill press.
When I cut the part off with a parting tool, it gets tossed around inside the machine because it is literally still "hanging on by a thread". Ideally, I would love this to fall gently into the parts catcher.
Secondary operation is to chamfer the ID in a drill press.
There's got to be a better solution.....a small groove tool to cut an ID groove at the parting spot? Groove before tapping?
Thoughts?
Thanks!!!
