We just got our new Mazak 250 MY and I am programming a G83 face drill cycle but it only pecks the 1st hole and not the rest. The code looks like.

We just ordered a new machine and I am looking for suggestions on what collet chuck we should be looking at for it. We already talked with the sales man about this I and he suggested Royal or ATS. I am just looking for some alternitives to see if i can save the boss some money.
TIA

My boss is going to IMTS and one of the machines he is looking for is a mill turn. I am trying to point him in the right direction as to what we need. Something like an Okuma Multis or Mazak intergrex. He keeps looking at machine with live tool holders on the turret which in my opinion for doing alot of 1 offs dont make since when i can load a magazine with the common tools we use.
wish i was. 2 owners are going to look at mill turns and have no clue of what they are even looking at. I have to tell them what booths to go to and what to ask.
We are looking at getting our first mill turn. I have programmed and ran 5 axis (like the mazak Intergrex) and the turret style machines. We do alot of short order work. 1 to 5 pieces. I know the style machine I think we should get but I am looking for more opinions. Along with make of machine. The powers to be are treading lightly on this since I am the only one here with any experience on these machines.
Hi All,
I am milling a contour in M3 using a 3/4 cermet endmill and it is taking forever. I am looking for speed, feed, and cutter suggestions.
TIA

Goldorak,
I am new to the milling world but been living in the lathe world since 1987. do you have any recomendations on tooling, depth of cut, feeds and speeds?
Hi All,
I am milling a square 1.530 X 1.500 deep with 3/32 rad in the corners. And the parts already have a 1.500 hole in them. I usually just deal with the lahte dept but have been given the chance to do this. I feel my cycle time is way to long (apprex. 20 min) and my tool life is not good. we have x6 mill level 2. I am looking for tooling and tool path suggestions. I have tryed many different things and this part shouldn't be that big of a deal in my mind.
Thanks in advance
Dan
Wes i don't have the capability to do it that way. i was hoping for a simple 2d contour op with some sort of stock recognition like the lathe uses. i hope that makes sense
