I need a post

[Scott Bond]

Good Morning

Thanks for all of your help!!

We are getting our first horz. mill!!

It's an excellent top of the line brand name, with speed, horsepower,pallets, and inverse timeing . I will need all of your help to find the machines threshold of pain. Speeds, feeds, what tools ,,basically what to do,, and what not to.

Scott

Scott is it a Mori Seiki?

Hi Scott,

 

I've always liked doin it horizontally versus doin it vertically

 

Have fun bro

 

What is "it" ?

ROFL!!!!!!!! Me too. Horizontal you can get to more sides without having to flip over, better evacuation, etc...

G83 cycle works best with a little dwell

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

How much dwell do you reccommend???

[specv]

well i use a deep hole macro instead... better results

[chris m]

G73 all the way, the incremental retract is the key

 

especially for tough materials

first I need to know which end of the stick your talking about

[Toolfab]

This has to be the strangest thread I have ever written.

 

Dont forget the G01, arc moves are neat!

Or the G84 for constant feed in and out

[Rat]

Scott, are they going to sink it into the

floor or do you have to Climb all over it?

either way i'm sure your just glad to have anew toy!

[mayday]

Lets not forget tooling.

I prefer to use non coated, coolant optional. back to basic stuff. no fancy inserts for me. OH and make sure the pockets are labled correctly.

dont wanna stick the tool in the wrong one

Would that be with "through the spindle" coolant?

Just remember the G98, traversing at the R point can cause tool damage

[MACHINEMASTERG]

scott first thing you should do is plug it in

[Toolfab]

I had this problem once, the darn X axis wouldn't traverse. Come to find out the ways needed some lubrication. Darn thing ran dry after a long run. Remember to only use synthetic oils, they clean up easy cuz I was so frustrated I made a mess of it. Nothing is worse than a sticky way, it skips all over and the finish is terrible.

31 1/2" pallets(only 2)

13,000 rpm cat 50 ,40 horsepower

Full 4rth axis

High speed machining

 

still working on auto tool lengths, and some store bought tomb stones.

[GREG]

A pellet change half way thru then back again.

My machine wont allow this cycle , alarms out , switchs off and takes a couple of weeks to get going again.
