I'm getting some quotes on a piece of Alca 5. I'm also considering using hot rolled steel and getting it ground. My concerns with Aluminium are ridgity and dings.
I got the ok to build a subplate for my Okuma Genos M560V. The reasons for wanting one is the spindle nose to table top distance is so large (6"). Also I do muliple setups a day and small runs. Often I machine 1/4' x 20" x 20" plate that have several pockets and very little safe clamping area. Any advice on best material to use? or any other tips and idea on making my subplate?
Here's my Cimco problem: If I have Cimco open with a posted program and I repost the same program it doesn't over write it like it has for years. This happens sporadically.
Thanks Del, I'm trying to get transform to do this for me but I've failed. I've used your method before with success, but I just tried it and its not selecting them in the right order (wire thread then contour) its jumping all over the place. I tried using "sort option" and that didn't help.
I have 2 different contours side by side each with their own wire thread point and I want multiples of them in basic array pattern. I'm trying to program this using transform and I want to leave a tab for each contour and then go back and cut the tab after ALL the contours are done. I can't get tranform to do this for me.
I'm considering thread milling . I'll will be trying this on my Okuma 560V or Cinc. Arrow2 with an 18I control. I have zero experience in threadmilling so any advice would be appreciated.( Tooling, programming, process etc.)
We've tested it in some stamping die. It's almost double our run times. I'm trying machine some parts with standard HSS drills and taps. It's a real challenge. I have some carbide coated tooling on order. I'm going to try Guhring and OSG.
I'm looking for tips on machining CPM 15V tool steel. My main issue is drilling and tapping 10-32 and 1/4-20. Does anyone have experience machining this stuff?
