if it is a carbide drill with thru coolant, i would NOT peck it at all. if you catch a chip on your return your buying a new drill. like goldorak said
make sure your drill is dead streight.
yes custom ground tools. looks like the mistake was in the program in the lead section. was supposed to be 9 tpi but gave me 10, although i had 9 typed in. thanks for taking a look.

yea! i do the same thing. but this time nothing works!!! even dynamic x form does the same thing
it will, however allow me to rotate 90 180 or 270 degrees but anything in between, just wont work. the part i'm working on is a dash number part, we make families of the same shape different features. i can do it no problem in a different file. really weird. thanx
i'm trying to rotate a part 68.34 degrees. just a standard rotation i use this every day without any problems. but today it says the range is too large. any ideas what this is? like i said this is a function i use all the time, never seen this before.
i'm trying to use a canned cycle for the first time. It's a lathe program, there are a few choices in the canned text options. Any advise on witch option is gonna work the best? The machine will be an okuma crown. Thanx in advance....
