Hi Crazy Millman, Thank you for your information. It will help me alot!!!. The material will arrive next week. I will let you know after machinning it. I just wonder this kind of thread belongs to ACME's family? Thanks again. Lamlinh

Hello All !! The customer provides me material A36 32" OD X 14" ID X 8.5 Long and they want me to machine a thread (15.500-2SAM2-2G. MINOR 15.25-15.275. Major 15.52-15.565. Picth 15.375-15.42). I have not done this thread before and what kind of thread is it?. Can someone gives me a direction how to machine it. I mean CSS, Feedrate and depth of cut etc. Thanks. Lamlinh

your part is one 4 aix setup therefore you can not run fast. That is reason which we have to slow down the feed rate.

Try this 1/2 cabide coated emill - .1doc, rpm 800, 10-15 ipm with 10% dynamic toolpath (ramp it to the depth).

Thank Allan

Thank your inputs. I want to make my statement more clear. I have .1 diamond drill tub already. .1 dia hole at the center of material is through and I use Haas machine without coolant through spindle. Thank.

I totally agree with Goldorak.

Hi All, My customer provides me material: Soda Lime Glass- 2" Dia x .05 thick. He wants me to make .1 hole at center of material by next week, however I have not machined this material before. Could someone points me a direction how to hold the material, Feed rate and RPm. Any input will be appriciated. Thanks.

Hi All, Keith A-1. I selected retract of .1 above the part as absolute. Chris.Thank alot!!!. Everything goes smoothly now.

Hello Chris, Thank for the post and it works now. There is a problem with drill canned cycle. I set clearance .25 above the part and retract .1 obove the part, the post come out as following. G83 Z-1. R-.15 Q2500 F.01 (R-.14 should be .1) G80 and also my longhand drill is the same as above. G83 Z-1. R-.15 Q2500 F.01 G80 For the longhand drill, subsequent peck, peck clearance and retract amount in the operation are grey out. can you help me to modify the post. Thank.
