  1. I used to run one. I guarantee your reseller has a descent post. It's a pretty basic and common machine. Mike
  2. You could just draw exactley what you want, comp off, leadin/out off
  3. Try looking in the machinist handbook maybe. I refer to it when ever I have questions about stuff like that. Or questions about life in general. Mike
  4. I would even say .02 Doc is a bit much. Your right, if your making qty. than a saw would be the way to go. Faster, cheaper, no chance of snaping a few $20 end mills.
  5. quote: WOW!! 240,000 RPM j/k At 240K that machine would start to lift off!
  6. http://www.harveytool.com/products/index.p...s&category_id=1 This is where we get our single flutes from. Although they dont have one under .04. A regular 2flt should work. Very light DOC as to not load up the tool. I would use all of that 24K on a 1/32 tool.
  7. Hello All, Trying to put together a list of Capto C6 suppliers now that Capto is going ISO. Right now we buy from sandvik, Big Kaiser, and seco. Do any of you know anywhere else we can get this tooling? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
  8. quote: I'm looking at a Daewoo 240SMC with under 10 hours on it. $121k Comes with an LNS barfeed and chip conveyer, yada yada. It's a repo from a father son shop where the son decided he didn't want to do this.... We have a Puma 240. Very tough machine. We also have LNS S3 bar loaders. Great results with both.
  9. Also, The forum over at www.integrexmachinist.com is very helpful for non programing integrex questions. Mike
  10. We do it all the time and actually chose XC over XY for some applications where we want consistant concentricity of the 3d features. Just go into rotary axis and choose C. Your post has to be set up right though. Mike
  11. Hello All, I'm looking for a source for a free machining 440 stainless. Parts need to be min. 55hrc and the regular 440c is too difficult to cut in a production environment. I know a 440s exists, I just can't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike
  12. For what it's worth, we've had good luck with doosan/daewoo Lynx and puma machines. tough and accurate and not too bad on the checkbook. We have some haas mills wich are nice but we got rid of our sl20 a month after we got it. Just could not get it to hold. Mike
  13. Hello All, Does anybody by chance have a source for tapered end mills in small angle increments? For example 13 Deg./ side. Trying to avoid ordering custom cutters. Figured maybe some of you mold guys might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help. Mike
  14. Same tool , different offset. We usually use them for rough/finish. For example, I'll rough w/ T101, back away U2. W2., and then call T111 useing that misc value command for the finishing op.
  15. We use them and they work really well. I program them using a misc. value in the parmeters and modified my post for it. For example, If put a 1 value in integer 4, it posts a spindle index 180 deg and lock at the ref. return before the operation. Makes it really easy.
  16. We've had good luck with Indexable spade drills even that small. Good finish and really tough. Not too expensive either. Like others have said, the 135 split isn't optimal for 304 because it grabs and that split point is really fragile. I thing point geometry is going to make a big difference in this one. Mike
  17. quote: this function allows you to read in the file as a mesh, shade it, rotate it, scale it, translate it and create a bounding box arround it and then save it as a new file. Allan, How in the world do you shade the STL. This wold be very helpful. Mike
  18. I would say use a cotour ramp toolpath and enable c axis in the rotary axis menu.
  19. I would have also tried something other than an ER32. Something with more contact. E.g. Heat shrink, hydro, power mill chuck or even a nice stub EM holder. I don't think your utilizing the ridgitity of the box ways with the ER. Although SFM and toolpath would probably make the biggest difference if your break'n tools. Mike
  20. Keith, Try changing the wcs T/C plane to Left Side. Or try going into the mill turn settings in the tool parameters and select the right spindle as the active spindle. Mike
