Knurling

[Go Navy]

I am trying to knurl on our Haas SL20 and having fare success. I currently have our knurling tool programed as an outside grooving tool programed for the width of the knurling head as the tool. I have very limited movement left or right and need the tool to dwell just a little to get a good full knurl. Any ideas an how to get this toolpath to dwell would help.

 

Thanks for all the help

The King has entered the building. G04 worked like a champ I was stuck in the Mastercam mind and couldn't see the forest for the trees.

On our Haas SL 20 its G04 P1000. It will dwell 1000 seconds or if you leave off the decimal point it will dwell 1000 milisecods. You can use any number after the P do have it dwell as long as you like.

 

Have fun
