Sure wish I had a lathe... only thing I cant do(without buting a custom cutter) is cut the radius on the tips of the teeth.

Your "shop" thread must be on a different board eh?
Time to fix that....



I don't understand what part that you can't doo without buting a special cutter. ???

What control are you running here?
Doesn't look fluid at all.

Part looks good tho.

its a protrak mill.. MX2 control

Im think the reason it does that is because of the way my CAM posts out... the MX2 is limited on vocabulary, so the CAM tricks the machine in order the get the machine to run the paths the way you'd like. At least thats what Im seeing so far...I could be wrong

The portion id like the lathe for or the form tool is a 8.5mm rad the starts at full width of the tooth and sweeps towards the tip... so instead of the tooth being flat and parrallel it is slimmer at the tip.

Yeah I have my thread on general machining i believe. I should posted up on there... guess i wasnt thinking clearly at 5am... sorry Will!

Can you create your program using g code? I assume you created the current program using SWI's interactive programming. I haven't tried it but I am told that I could create a mathematical curve, in my case a sine wave, in a spread sheet, export it as text and feed that to the SWI controller.

This is a small program
G100 Im sure is position drill
G101 Im sure is line move
G102-103 Im sure are arc moves

Never used SWI interactive programming... what is it?

So they added a 1 to their codes to be different?

No wonder it takes it longer. Has 1/2 aggin longer G numbers to reference each time.

This is SWI's Prototrac at the machine programming.

I sent a link of this thread to Bruce Closs, our local SWI sales guru. Maybe he can help.
