Ran one for over10 years doing close tolerance mold plates and pockets. Loved it so much I bought one of my own.. You get what you pay for.
don't know by memory but I follow the steps in the mcx documentation folder. There is apdf file that tells you exactly how to have mutiple post added to your def.
I drink beer thats why I can't spell !!!!
I'v been thinking that since the first of the year it has been a little slow around here..Not for long.....Welcome back (i think )
these are breakfast beers!!!!!
I always pilot a 1.7 inch deep hole (1/4" dia)
and then feed my gun drill in 1.5 deep and guide the end in the hole by hand then 500 rpm and feed 15 ipm to .2 above previous drill then 2500 rpm and 1.3 feed to depth. My 36" and 48" long drills droop about 2 inches so you have to guide them in by hand not spinning. It's quite a reach to have left hand on drill end and right hand on feed override...
John,
If I start my spindle with the drill not in the hole it becomes a fan blade just prior to shooting across the shop.. don't think this code would work for me !
Happy Friday
Jeff I would appreciate any info you can get for me. I say the link cascadeclimber linked but don't have time to send away for anything and they are right hand. Also I was born and raised in Quincy MI (south central)
come on guys I just got done telling the head of the assembly dept. what a big help you guys are. I know its a little off the mastercam topic but any help finding the standards would help.. I'v tried to google, dogpile no help not in machinery handbook ....
we build them all day every day...Lots of internal plumbing (1/4" dia gundrilled holes)
