Diamond Pin Macro

[cncchipmaker]

I hope someone out there will have a use for this. Someone at work gave me the idea. Check it out.

(PIN AT 0 DEGREES IS VERTICAL)

(ABSOLUTE MACRO)

(UNDER DEVELOPMENT)

 

(FORMAT G65/G66 ABDTMWREFS)

(A = #1 - INCLUDED ANGLE OF PIN)

(60 DEGREES IS COMMON)

(B = #2 - G68 ROTATION FROM 0 DEGREES)

(D = #7 - DIAMETER OF PIN)

(T = #20 - TOOL DIAMETER)

(M = #13 - MATERIAL SIZE)

(SQUARE OR ROUND)

(W = #23 - WIDTH OF PIN CONTACT)

(R = #18 - R PLANE)

(E = #8 - END OF EM IN Z)

(F = #9 - FEEDRATE)

(S = #19 - # OF SPRING PASSES)

(*********************************)

(LIMIT SPRING PASSES TO 3.)

It's designed to turn your vise into a diamond using nothing but peer pressure

This macro is designed to create a diamond pin of your choosing machining it right into the fixture. It's mainly for emergency use only and is not going to really substitute a real diamond pin. The G68 rotation allows you to rotated the whole pin to any angle desired. The furthest I have got with it is a dry run and have not cut any chips with it yet, but as soon as I do I will post a pic. So in a nutshell you could pull up any catalogue with diamond pins in them and copy the specs to the macro to recreate the pin desired.

Do you need to run coolant with that?

[betts]

Yes, 80 proof coolant, and lots of it.
