  1. We are cutting grade 5 titanium and the website says 4000 rpm at 19 ipm for a .177drill. I tried it at 85% of that and it didn't like it. It walked pretty bad. 1 inch deep .177dia 1200psi tsc in a hammer shrink. No peck and no spot drill. It was at 13%load on the mam 72-35v. Anyone use these in titanium before?
  2. It moves a lot. Let it sit in QC for a while to acclimate
  3. This is where the circles with lines comes in handy I believe. Use hole axis and get yourself a line
  4. we have two but one is manual guide i and the other is the new ihmi. but they do the same thing
  5. plus re machining doesn't respect internal radius
  6. It has spikes in the red when it starts to grumble. Raising the rpm usually helps
  7. in the subsequent cycles section under the drill cycles in the post
  8. I used to work with cranky Hank and he would have .499 .374 ect end mills in his programs. you should see how he adjusted his threadmills
  9. it rounds the top even with a flat endmill. if the corner were shart technically it would have more material on it than what you set. there is a setting for stock to leave not to round corners in contour. maybe something similar. or a check box in tool path fillet to make sharp
  10. in the graphics world up and down is Y and z is depth in the monitor view
  11. I'm taking relatively light cuts with a 3 flute endmill in aluminum. It starts to rumble and you can see the z load increase. Sometimes it pulls the head down into z excess error servo alarm. Its at 70% load just sitting still with no cutting. It looks like the motor is the same size as the 520
  12. You might have a license tied up . Ours doesn't even give a warning. It just lets you click on the operations with nothing happening
  13. I save a copy with the material in the name of I want it saved. Then you pick the one you want they will be relatively close to each other in the library
  14. is that the guy who was rambling about graphical control of the tool path? i need to re read this thread i missed where it went off the deep end
  15. trim tool path. supr easy make geometry half the tool bigger t least so it doesn't plunge into stockem
  16. sometimes you need to draw a custom one and depending where it overlaps you can control the tool entry area so it doesnt need to helix or ramp
  17. with rest machining you make the boundary bigger for tool entry. you only need to make one side bigger
  18. sometimes power surface can give you something good for avoiding a hole
  19. if you copy them you may need to rechain everything but all the settings will be the same so i think its a little less work
  20. there is an engraving path that should work. you could also use surface horizontal and pick the floor as drive and top of the letters as check but i would try a pocket set to zigzag with a tapered wall angle in depth cuts
  21. you would make a plane on the bottom and copy the operations and switch the plane to the bottom . then it will verify correct and you could either bost it all or just the first half. transform rotate may work with y as the axis of rotation but i would have to mess around with it to see. you mat need to make a rotation plane
