I.D. oil groove like these? (larger id of course) Carr-lane My first thought would be to use a full rad. top-notch style insert. MSC Kennametal you would have to watch the relief angle, I think it is 7-11 deg. which may not be enough.

I just noticed that mr2 won't accept 12d5'2". mr1 will accept this without spaces, with mr2, I had to input like this: 12d 5' 2" then it worked. Anybody else notice this?

I have seen this error before, it ususally means your disk is either full or write-protected.

416F = AMS 5610, bars and forgings, Pratt book says machinabiliy is 50%. Peripheral end milling: cobalt, 107-134 SFM 1/2 dia. cutter, .0015-.0020 IPT carbide, 287-359 SFM 1/2 dia cutter .0015-.0020 IPT

25.4 is also more accurate than .03937. Believe it or not!

For simple lathe and 2-axis mill, try InPlot. Full version is only $150.00, a real bargain! Linky: www.i-logic.com

More accurately, PI = 3.141592653589..etc...etc (it is actually has no theoretical end and doesn't repeat) So, rounded off to .0001 would be 3.1416 Small difference, I know..... P.S. I think the record was 1.24 trillion places , I don't know if there is a new one.

Have you tried the c-hook FindOverlap.dll? -
No Problem.

Start by using a bar with a 55 or 35 deg. diamond then define tool and go to the boring bars tab and scroll through the styles until you find "X" that should be what you are looking for

Machinery's Handbook 25, page 628 has this info. Across the grain, you draw the growth rings. With the grain you draw V-shaped lines.
-
If you have room, you could try sticking a magnet (mag-base) to the tool as near as possible to the cutting edge.

14:30 Desktop (actually under the desk) Dell optiplex GX270 Pentium 4 @ 2.80 Ghz 512mb ram, not sure of speed Nvidia GEForce4 MX440 with AGP8X, 64mb memory Windows XP Pro Version 2002, sp2 Surprised me! With only half a gig of ram, I thought it would take longer.

The post is an x post modified from mplfan. But, the problem is not happening during posting, it appears on the toolpath parameters page in the spindle speed and max spindle speed fields. if changed within the toolpath parameters page, the spindle speed is unaffected by a change in the max spindle speed. but, when i change the max spindle speed "globally" from the edit selected operations window, the spindle speed will change.
-
When I use "Edit Common Parameters" and set "Max spindle speed" to 50, it changes the G50 "spindle clamp" to 50 rpm, but also, all CSS speeds above 50 are set to 50. I do not remember this happening in previous X revs. Has anyone else seen this? Thanking you in advance,

The only way I have been able to do it is to draw every cut and use finish passes. Maybe there is some way using the rough cycles but I have not found it.
-
It may only look greyed out. Try hitting the "radio button" anyway. This faked me out when I first saw it.

Post outputs M3 but not M4

Try this: Define Tool from tool manager or from operation Select "Setup Tool" Change Spindle Rotation -
Personally, I never trust either one. I always backplot the .nc file with inplot. This has saved me many, many times.

Double output of tool
calnet42 replied to Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial's topic in Industrial Forum
In Canned Cycles, I'm not sure but I think that to get another finish pass, you may need another rough pass also. I am not an expert though, hopefully someone with more knowledge will reply. -
I always correct people too. Dial Calipers, not Dial Verniers I also used to have a set of Helios instead.

Yes, there is. Look in the post for fs2, find the one that is labeled Decimal,absolute,4/3 place Ex: fs2 2 0.4 0.3 ___^ remember this number Then look for fmt and set to the number nedded. Ex.: fmt X 2 xabs #X position output _____^ put number here
