Thanks guys, the first part we did the holes walked on us using carbide drill and carbide tipped reamer. I think I'm going to try using the end mill to straighten the hole, then ream. At least I was in the ball park 120 sfm .0015 chip load for the reamer.
-
Any special tricks to reaming this material? So far the material has been aged. I need 6 holes two inches deep through @.495 dia. The blank for this material is 600 bucks so I don't want to screw this up. Thanks for any help.

I'm trying to tap 300m (modified 4340) 1/2 20, I did not see it in the library. Here comes my dumb question, what do you mean by power tap? Rigid tap?
-
I've been programming lathes for awhile, but have just recently started with mills, anyway my question is, where can i find a good guideline for tapping, speeds and feeds ect. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
-
I see now, I wasn't selecting the point icon as well as the break icon. Thanks.
-
Is there a way to pick the center of the line segment without having to do the math? Is there a switch that needs to be turned on, so when you move the cursor over it, it lights up? I'm using X lathe level 1 no solids. Thanks for your help.
-
Ok, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong..I selected all surfaces and now there are no points but some of the pofile is missing.
-
Ok, I just tried that, but now I don't have the whole profile of the part. The points however are gone.
-
I'm not sure about the wire frame, I import the part as trimmed surfaces and edge curves from solidworks and has always worked in ver. 9. I have MCX MR1 lathe level 1. Thanks for your help in advance.
-
I thought that as well until I sliced a simple tube with just a chamfer on o.d. and i.d. and there are points at the begining and end of each chamfer.
-
Sorry, it's surfaces, and I never had this problem in ver. 9.
-
It creates a point at every endpoint.
-
Is there a way to turn off the points that are created when you slice a part in X? I know you can delete all points, but it would be nice not to have to.
