Metric tapping

Thanks Jack

 

I will now sob and cry like a little baby. I thought it was my flash of brilliance a few years ago that caused me to put an OD turning tool into a vise and put the workpiece (an electrode on a 3R holder) into the spindle of a mill. It worked like a charm, and was a lot faster than trying to put a 3D toolpath on it to create a conical shape.

 

So much for my visions of supremacy....it seems it's been done before.

 

I am 3 years too old to be in Club 75, but too young to remember cheap gas prices and Frankie Avalon movies..... I sob quietly and all alone.

yes jack i to have done the lathe out of a mill idea too!!! but i made two arbors and put then in two toolholders and when one was turning i was loading and unloading the other like a pallet changing lathe worked great!!!oh yea this seems to be hijacked again

Another Hi-Jacked thread - when will the insanity end.

 

So did the tapping issue ever get resolved??

[Mark H]

Ok, I wanna play the number game...

 

So you know what the .0183" means, but what does 0.01746" relate to?

My degree?

[chris m]

98% feed for a 2-56 tap?

 

Probability that a word will be correctly spelled on our forum?

 

My high school GPA?

 

I dunno

 

What's the context?

I started out with a big chief tablet and a sr-10 calculator. Thought I had gone big time! Remember F0 as rapid, but don't recall now if it was the GE 7542 lathe control or the AB hardwired control for the K&T 1500! Think it was the K&T. Clear back in '75.

It has everything to do with your degree.

Please tell me that you have never clamped an OD turning tool in a vice and programmed the machining center as if it was a cnc lathe.

Been there done that. Dangerous as hell but it got the job done and I got a sliver of respect from the old guys.

 

My trig is only slightly better than Jay and Scott's spelling!

I'll need to grind 1/16th off of the pedestal I've got you picture on

It's been soooooo long since I've actually had to do trig I'm not sure I'd know where to start. I know how to draw it though.

0.01746 deals with draft (taper), specifically the distance 1 degree is over 1 inch. (sine of 1)
