Do you have thru tool coolant? If not make sure you retract you drill far enough to clear out the chips and put coolant into the bottom of the hole if possible. I would check out WALTERS TITEX drills. I have also used OSG drills both live very well in titanium. What surface footage are you running? I'd start at 80 and work my way up from there (should get around 135 sfm if all works well).
Ha ha ha I get the Bueller reference . I know you can do this on HAAS but I don't think it is possible with FADAL. Try typing in DI from command mode then DE and see if it gives you tool changer options if not try DI then DD.
Bwahahaha, sorry about that Tim. Just seems strange how some guys just want to keep arguing with knowledge. I mean how in the world would hand edited code ever repopulate values in side of any cam software.
Tyler just checked, you can get 300 ipm out of it for your rapid moves and 75 ipm on G1 - G3. If you have more G1's than G2 or G3's you could swap the rapid moves for the latter and see if that gets you were you want to be.
Check in the graphics portion and see if there is a dry run option. I believe it goes 300 ipm. As soon as I'm over by my 6030 I'll look and make sure that is were it is at. If not I'll let you know where I found it.
I've used "o" ring material before and it also works very well. You can cut a groove with a ball endmill about 60% depth for the diameter your using. Just buy a roll and cut it to the desired length and glue together.
At 1.26 IPM you'd have less than .0003" CPR. if your drill point was a little dull and your coolant was less than 6% you probably had a galling issue. If it was me I would go with a peck of .100 for depth and start at 3.8 IPM if the coolant mix looks good.
