Just wondering if anyone knows a good place in the Greater Toronto Area that buys scrap carbide at a good price I got quoted $6 a pound at one place that seems low to me.
Hey there have you used them on 4140 or a-2 tool steel and what kind of speeds ans feeds are you running them at ?
Looking for a good endmill to run some Dynamic tool paths for roughing .
Thanks
Hi there we just got mastercam x9 at our shop and ive been interested in using dynamic milling for a while . I don't know where to start with speeds and feeds for high speed machining. We cut mostly tool steels 4140, a-2, d-2 any help with speeds and feeds would be appreciated. We use YG-1 V7 variable helix endmills at the moment .
Thanks
Hi there im trying to get the tool to stay down when pocketing on mastercam but it keeps retracting even though i checked the keep tool down in the depthcuts section. Any help would be appreciated.
How do I change the post in mastercam to turn on AICC and NANO machining? G05 p10000 and G05.1 Q1?
Can someone post a screenshot of where and how to change it please. Control is a fanuc 18i-mb
Is it possible to add on thru spindle coolant to a machine that didnt come with it from the factory?
We have an Awea BM-1600 VMC with fanuc control . Are there any aftermarket companys that make them.
Also im wondering if its really necessary to have it because we are drilling plates that are no more then 2" thick and i was wondering to use carbide drills do you even need thru spindle coolant.
Im new to 2d high speed machining and I was playing around with 2d dynamic area milling . My problem is for some reason when i make the toolpath and I helix entry into the part it enters counterclockwise in the ramp entry then switches to climb when its doing the trochoidial moves is this right?
Im trying to figure out why the machine is so slow when it goes into corners. I was wondering if theres a way to turn off this feature. I cant even helical machine anything it wont feed more than 10 inches a minute even if i put the feed at 100ipm.
