Thanks jlw.
It is a great tool, but my issue is I need to explain the difference between regular chip thinning and HEM.
Does the HEM modify the radial step over, thus increasing the IPT?
Inquiring minds want to know.
thanks
Does anyone have the math that is used to calculate this?
Example:
I'm using a 3/8 4 flute at 20% step-over, with radial chip thinning my IPM is 86.
when I use HEM, the IPM jumps to over 100 IMP, but I still have the 20% radial
cut.
Can someone give me the math behind this?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Chris,
I this matches what I found elsewhere, I just wanted to make sure because I know the damages an incorrect retension knob can make.
Thanks for the help
Normally thread mill should be run from the bottom to the top, but in hard mat'l it should run from top to bottom. Basically the first thread cuts and the others chase.
Not necessarily, most face grooveing tools will create their own clearance. The initial penetration must be within the range of the tool, but normally there is no limitation after the initial plunge.
I've looked into this also.
My nephew and niece are both dentist. I've gone to some shows and they have some pretty neat tools to do this with.
A complete setup with software and machine was about 100grand. The whole process would take around 45mins. This would include a digital scanner for the mouth.
I didn't think I would be able to compete with the setup, plus you need to have an understanding of tooth margins.
Let us know how it works out.
