still giving me an error even with that file

Trying to create a tool in the stand alone manager. No matter what I do, I can't get this to work. Any help would be appreciated ZSERIESHOLDER.dxf

I've got some weldments to machine. They're a bent sheet steel "u" shape, with a tube welded across. The tube is bored for a shaft to slide through, it must be done after welding so turning isn't an option. I'll have to ream about 10 inches through, to a 1.005 ID. The question is, does anyone know who would make a reamer (the replaceable tip style) capable of running to that depth? I've looked everywhere, and our local tool rep came up shorthanded as well. If not, has anybody helix bored to that depth with success? Max amount of material id be removing would be around .01, I just need the clean the ID up after welding.

yeah that's what I meant

I'm in the market for a few new tools. One I will be buying is a 1.5 inch diameter Square shoulder mill. I've only ever used the set screw type...and am curious as to others experience on the two different styles.

Yes I am

Thanks Gcode. Just out of curiosity, are there any other ways this could be done aside from what you mentioned above?

Hello all. Trying to teach myself how to draw solids and am stuck. Anywho, attached are two pics. One of my current part (incomplete),and one of what It should look like when complete. I'm trying to cut the pocket on the angled surface and the fillet and am not quite sure how to go about it. Anything helps. Sincerely, Stucker than stuck

Thank you

Hello all, noob here. Say I have a first op and second op in separate files. How would I go about pulling one into the other? that being my solid model and paths. I have a part I'm now running with both first and second op fixtures in the machine at the same time.

I've convinced the powers that be to purchase some tooling, one thing we do need is a better face mill for finishing. The Iscar IQ 845 looks promising. Any recommendations? Currently doing a lot of 50w plate work.

Everything checked out, I ran the remainder of my parts today with a solid holder and no problems at all. Thanks guys.

What are you guys using to hold your taps for rigid tapping? I've used floating for that last few years with no problems until yesterday. Crunched a brand new m6x1.0 rollform tapping 6061 T6 3/8 plate. From what I can tell, the tap caught and when the holder ran out of float it broke. I'm relatively new to CNC machining so any tips would be quite useful at this point. Thanks

Roll form of cut? and are you peck tapping the m20's?

50 taper 30 horse spindle. I will start at 24Sf and see what happens. Thanks, jeff
