get the hand book and look up thermal expansion. a 16 inch piece of steel will change .001 inch with 10 degrees of temp change. i can hardly detect 10 degrees of change with my hand.
can you slow down and use hss? carbide face mill can add a lot of stress. The boss is steaming if the machine aint screaming. Tell him to go sit on the fire hydrant.
Got x3 today and looked in help menu for helix bore. Mastercam says to use felix mills from Dapra corp. I looked at them and they start at .5 inch dia. Looks like smaller holes will be done with relieved end mills.
We are interested in helix boring for bushing holes and dowel holes from 3mm to 50mm or so. Is there a place to buy "peckerhead" mills? I am afraid to look for them on internet because i may get my pp slapped for it. Is there another name for them or a company? I reread the post above and see you are making them, relieving them yourself.
