No taper on the insert
-
Thanks to everyone, I got it to work. Then on my drive home, had an epiphany..... If you run out of cutter comp, tell mc the tool is a smaller diameter....Doh
-
The mc file??? I got the taper issue worked out. had to decrease the size of my tool, but cant add enough cutter comp to produce the thread
-
my taper angle is set to 1.7899....still no luck
-
I have a kennametal inserted thread mill. I'm trying to create a 1"-11.5 npt thread. Now it seems to want to work backwards...i.e. bigger at the bottom of the id and shrinking towards the top.... I've tried changing the taper angle to a negative to no avail.... Somebody save me... LOL
-
Thank you sir!!!
-
So, if i say it has one tooth (insert redneck joke here..) I should get more revs??
-
I can create my thread milling tool, but upon posting the program, it only does one revolution. Is this normal? can I get more than one step?
-
Ended up using rolldie on the 4th axis instead. Thank da lord for the search function here, and all the brains. J to tha K

When, not if, I get it to work, I'll post a sample of the gcode
-
thats what I had in the book too, couldn't get it to work on one of the lathes, but it seems to on the other, Just need to figure out how to make it do what i want now.
-
I have a Fanuc O-i control on a Femco lathe. Is there a parameter to change to use the g34 code? Has anyone used this and can give me an idea where to start? I need to do a 1 inch per thread to a 1.75 inch per thread over 20". 15 turns Cant find the info on the net, so I thought I'd hit up the real geniuses here! Thanx Jer

I draw in MC exclusively. I don't know how to use solidworks, except to translate it to a format I can pull into MC. When I do use solidworks, I find that alt f1 doesnt work!!! Jer
