I am selecting Peck Drill in Lathe and when I post the job, it reads customized drill cycle and then gives me no depth. My Peck is .2 subsequent is .2 and retract is .2 So when I run the job, it goes to the entry of the part and then returns home and does a tool change. Any suggestions? Thanks

Mold Makers Choice of Ball Nose Endmills???
Bowfisherman replied to Bowfisherman's topic in Industrial Forum
I have some Harvey tools, i use a lot of .125 ball with taper clearance they seem to be jam up but was wondering if there were any other good competitors. -
I was wondering what you guys choice of extra long reach carbide ball nose endmills are. I am fresh at the Injection Mold Making and want some input. Thanks a Bunch.
-
Are you sure it's not innconnel?
-
OK Prosin Molds, I will try that, that does make sense. Thank you very much.
-
Was wanting some of your thoughts on coolant and what you find works best for all around machining of Aluminum, Stainless, and Low Carbon steel.
-
I appreciate these tips guys. I will try each on seperate pockets and let you know the results. Leonard

That's what I have thought about doing but now you have confirmed it to me,, What the heck,, the most it can do is pop an EM. Thanks CM

I am machining an injection mold die for a small part. The part is small enough that it requires me to use an .125 EM. I am cuttin nearly 1.0 deep. The material is 6061 alum. I have MCX MR1 . Running my part on Haas VF-3 and Using High Speed machining. I used Area Clearance rough first and .01 stock t leave, then finish with raster. Stepover was .0005.. Part looks good but still not a great great finish,, any suggestions.. Thanks
-
Iowajim,,, it worked!!!!!, I done just as you said and the dog gone thing worked. This is the reason these forums are successful. Cause of guys like yourselves. Hope I have something to bring to the table when needed. Thanks

I am running the Generic Post now,,, and HMMMMM, seems to be working fine. Thanks Guys for your help. To be honest Paul, When I select my Machine type, I never noticed that right in the middle of all the posts and machine types was the INFAMOUS Generic HAAS 4th axis one. Sorry, But I am using it now and seems to be fine.
