    I'm running a .059 Diameter Gun Drill from Guhring in 6061 2.250 deep with 1000 psi Takes about 2 minutes a hole So far 500 holes on 1 drill and the holes are straight within .002. I was paying $15 a hole via hole pop edm before Drilling technology~~~

    The Lyndex shrink machine system I bought came with them. Try them... Although I'm a fan of the "sharpe" line and drop it in technique :laughing:

    Destiny Tool 6 flute would be what I'd use. I just cut a big (big for me) titanium part with them. 1/2" necked 2.250 .625 flute length .030 corner radius 100% Depth 5% stepover 300 sfm .005 IPT Cutter just mowed along. I had to cut a 3.750 bore 2.125 deep with only a pilot hole. Couldn't use a bigger tool because of wall thickness issues and since it was only 5 parts I didnt bother with using more than 1 tool to rough I'd imagine you should be able to do that cut in 17-4 pretty easily

    Yeah that sounds like a cluster xxxx. My 840D experience is on my Grob G350 and Quaser Mf400s

    Thanks to everyone for the comments. Going to take it all in and come back with some questions.... Makes me wish I could get a Siemens control in this type of machine (and budget.... and no a cublex isnt in the budget). I have 3 Siemens controls in the shop and really prefer them to Fanuc but alas.... Fanuc is what I'm buying. Something about using tool names is more elegant than random 8 digit numbers.... atleast in my opinion. Highest tool magazine in my 14 machine shop is 60 so I'm paranoid as all hell about messing this up and getting to redo my system in 6-12 months.

    Curious to see what kind of methodology people have used in dealing with large machine magazines? All of my machines to this date have max of 60 tools and I'm buying a machine with 314 now. I want to set this up so I can use resident tooling but am concerned about building a system that I will regret in a year and then have to rebuild everything. Those of you who have done this before... any advice / wisdom?

    Anyone ran a Yasda PX30i yet? I know they are limited in their sales but the machines look rock solid. I have standalone 5 axis machines (2 Quaser and 1 Grob G350) and need a lights out production machine. Tired of working my life away at 7 days a week. About a day or so away from pulling the trigger and leaning towards the Yasda because I know the local support VERY well.

    Finally had a chance to deal with this.... Parameter 2257 X was 160 X2 was 160 OOTB settings Kept running parts until I was happy and ended up with X 80 X2 80 Thanks again so much for this document. Saved me lots of headaches.

    Wow thank you so much.

    Milling a boss or a hole and getting witness marks in the x quadrants. 0 and 180* Did a ball bar test and we adjusted our backlash and motor power parameters to really shrink these but still there. Anyone have this problem and maybe have a solution?
  15. dstryr
    Rough and finish. I'd be tempted to try to "ramp" the finish shape to help keep the tool from deflecting as opposed to just using the side of it.

    Let me guess... Pin holes that are +/-.0001 through a tab thats about 1/8 to 1/4 thick on weird angles?
  17. dstryr
    I'd switch to an indexable tip drill and then use a boring bar to rough. Never had good luck trying to use an indexable drill to bore with in anything other than mild steel or aluminum.

    I do as mkd described. Every program has /M30 M99 Come into the shop in the morning, turn on the block skip and let it run for an hour. (I usually turn the spindle and rapid override to 50% for the first 1/2 hour) You want to run with coolant on as well to warm up the coolant.

    Has anyone tried a PCD ball endmill from Harvey tool for dedicated finishing in alumium? http://www.harveytool.com/prod/Browse-Our-Products/Application-Specific-Designs/Diamond-Tooling_190/PCD-Diamond-End-Mills---Ball_99.aspx

    Helical makes a 3flute ball with all 3 flutes ground to center. Works very well in the aluminum I've cut.

    I'd get an indexable cutter and take shallow doc, larger radial and up the feed. It will put a lot less tool pressure into the setup.

    Local shop I help out has a big HAAS Trunion. They are $40-50k to rebuild and right now his doesnt repeat worth a xxxx in either A or C. Its just a $40k paperweight.
