Hello everyone. Needing some help with drilling a .062 hole into .130 diameter material on a lathe. My current program reads as follows
G97 s1000 m13;
M98p1;
T4x0.;
Z.2 s3000;
G1 g99 z-.65 f.0005;
M98p1;
I'm running on an older hardinge lathe, with barely any stock protruding from the face of the spindle and it pulls out to part length after it drills to prevent the stock from bending. Chuck pressure is all the way down to 30psi to prevent crushing. Carbide through coolant drill.
I've managed to make 1 part and the drill broke on the second. I've tried many different speed and feed combinations with no consistent luck. Does anyone have any ideas what to do to get this thing to run consistent? Thanks in advance
