I've been using the Starrett for the past 11 years with zero issues, but I'm told to pick a new one so I'm torn between the Starrett and the Interapid. Does the Interapid require less stylus pressure? Especially for dialing in spindle probes? Is the Interapid stem removable?
TIA
Hey Guys, I've been threadmilling a lot of parts and in my thread data printouts I have a wire size, say Ø.036 and a MOW of 4.3984 to 4.3925. Since my wires are the "gauge", would it be better to stay in the mean of the range, away from the "no-go" low end?
I do a higbee on the mill all the time in 4-16 threads as well as 10tpi Buttress. I draw a single helix and dynamically rotate it to align the start with the threadmill start point.
Thanks Reko, Ijust saw that .05 in Y, that would've sucked. In regards tot he outputted cod I have my Z set at COR so I could work with 1 offset. Looks like I programmed it wrong and have to go back and pick heights with everything set at Top/Top/Top. If I do this, how will MC know to post A rotations? Or, to save time, just leave it as is and set each face with it's own work offset?
Yea Ron, I want 1 offset to run at COR. When I changed everything to TOP, the code looks good relative to COR. In what instance would I use TOP=TOP T/C= named plane? Is the point of creating a plane at each face to get the rotation code?
