Hard milling

[HevyMetl]

Are you posting a file with the highfeed options in MC? What version? I always post with maximum allowable feedrate for the endmill, and allow the machine to slow it down as necessary to maitain a defined accuarcy. I have never used the highfeed options.

[DG]

No, I didn't have the high feed on but I did have the adjust feed on arc moves switched on in the setup sheet. And I had the percentage turned off on the material and F/P/T fields in the tool definitions. All set now, thanks. Just got to keep kicking down doors till you find it...

[HevyMetl]

Yep. You'll get it and your edm will start collecting dust more and more.

[DG]

Yup, Yup,yup.. hope so. I have used the high feed though, that's pretty cool on soft steel and alum or brass.

Hey John, I'd like to see those spreadsheets from Makino if you can email em to me without them taking away your decoder ring

[HevyMetl]

Greg,

 

You got mail.

[Jody]

Thank you

 

Jody

It'll take more than that Jody. Surely you're not at work still?

[DG]

Hey John, Thanks again..It looks like your spread sheets are a hit..Thank you Hardmill and Carl.. I also liked Carl's link to Robb-Jacks spread sheets as those were the tools I had on hand. Everything went smoothly on my test parts and now I want to see how much I can push the envelopes. Should I base everything on incresed SFM's? Or depts and stepovers? So many questions..And then there's high speed machining in hardened steels with the new axial angle of contact(Ae) formulars. I feel like a mad scientist! It's alive!

Thanks in advance.

You got Mail

[Chipmakr]

Thanks John and David.

 

I have some other excel sheets I got from Eric over at Tesco and a PDF of the 2006 catalog which is much more user freindly than the old catalog.

 

 

The Makino sheet looks pretty cool.

[HevyMetl]

With what I spend with Eric every month I should have one of those new catalogs. I thinks I will call him and give him what for.

[Jeff the haas_guy]

John. I could use those spreadsheets too if you don't mind.
