sorry about that

HI GUYS IS THERE A WAY I CAN IMPORT A TOOL FROM THE SANDVIK CATALOGUE WITHOUT HAVING TO ACTUALLY DRAW UP THE TOOL AND ITS DATA

Thanks guys as you can see we are still learning and appreciate your help on relatively simple questions.

I have a number of very similar parts to make with small variations on o ring grooves etc. How do you copy or export the existing Drawing/Program save it as a new part and then modify. Regard Ray.

Hi greg I am in melbourne victoria. I am running a Fanuc 10T The machine itself ia a Nakamura Slant 6 Hope this a help>

THE PROGRAM IS TURNING AN UNDERCUT ON A STRAIGHT DIAMETER OF 6 INCHES. THE UNDERCUT DIAMETER IS 5.5 INCHES THE LENGHT APPROX 5 INCHES. THE PROGRAM INDICATES 1/16 DEEP CUTS, AND WHEN BACK PLOTTED ON MASTERCAM THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS DOING. HOWEVER APON TRANSFER TO THE LATHE IT ATTEMPTS TO DO TWO 1/4 INCH CUTS.
