Using right han tooling you don't have to reverse the spindle to drill, tap or thread. Depends on who you're talking to as to whether the transfer of the cut load down on the bed matters. Long...

Absolutely! This is the exact thread I referred to when I made up my custom codes. Which parameters call which programs was definitely something I copied. I've never seen that list anywhere else.

Hey Tracy, Is that cold rolled? You're not using G96 surface feed?

I'd run it about 500 600 sfm feed at .012 see if that doesn't help?

If this is better you could up the DOC but it's not...

Gloves on the table saw was sketchy. I don't know, to me it didn't look tapered on the end like a tap typically is. Hard to tell really.

Sounds like you know what to do. Drill, taper team, then tap. Spin and feed the tap at the rate of downwards twist the thread is, then have at it. Might do a couple practice shots in something soft...

Give it a try. You can push motion hold anywhere in a G71 canned cycle. Move it wherever you want, index the turret, change tool or whatever, move back to where you stopped it and let it take off...

Hit motion hold, stop spindle, origin the U and W relative positions, move away, change tool, move back to U0 W0 relative position, start spindle, return to automatic mode, hit the green button. If...

lmao.....!

Now what? :scratchchin: Punt? I for one am interested in how this shakes out. If one of them Hurco boys comes in to get this thing squared away go out and bird dog him then it'd be sweet if you come...

I just stopped by to see how long it took for someone to comment on the "mill bits" but now I'm here, Sniff Sniff Sniff catching a whiff of spam.

First sentence btw. Lol

Hello Sinha,

I appreciate the time it took to write how to set this up! Explained it so even I could understand. That is a wonderful thing! Thanks a million! :cheers:

Brent

Look alright to me. Push harder should bust them up a little more. But makes for easy clean up. Will you have a look and tell me what you think? I've developed some spots on my bag?

I did "watch Wes work" on the turret but I don't remember that machine having this plane outta whack issue.

If I remember correctly he mentioned this problem and kinda glossed over it quickly but...

I'm all in on this ^^ is the root of problem.

My guess is post crash the casting isn't setting in the same place on the X axis slide. Can you visually see separation or shift of the machined...

Since it apparently don't matter what these are made from I'd see if I could go back to the junk yard and find another chunk. Especially if I couldn't cut it with a saw.

Brent

None of our stuff has this. Curious how long of a delay they think is sufficient?

I'd think they'd be on you to add more exhaust suck, help the whole building.

Ain't no wonder why everyone is...

At first I thought this was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen but then it occured to me the slit in the holder might work as a spring allowing the tool to flex downwards instead of plunging in to the...

This would drive me nuts! Lol That string just dangling there by spinning work would seem wrong and make me nervous.

This Michael Wright dude said he made his replicas of the Antikythera Mechanism with hand tools he could carry in the pockets of his lab coat.

Secrets of the Antikythera Mechanism:...

Take the G42 from the N12 line and put on G70 P12 Q25 line?

Brent

Try putting the G42 down on the G70 line. You may have to start the spindle again after the M0. It's odd you want to measure before the finish runs, most times you measure afterwards then tweak size,...

Curious if you created a G code or did you replace the G84, G80 blocks with what he posted.

G04
#3003=3 (Single Block Disabled)
#3004=3 ( Feed Hold - Feedrate Override Disabled - Exact Stop...

The way oil lines should head off around back to a aluminum manifold with one way metering valves. I'd get a handful of them valves and replace all of them 10 or 12 maybe? Don't remember how many.

Hi sinha,

I don't know how to test this? Why would one want buffering to stop at a optional stop if the option to keep running was selected?

The switch in the off position I think the control...

Cool! My guess is it's got left handed X +/- directions. Pictures?
