It really is an easy machine to use. I have done the exact thing you are trying to do with this machine. I will try to get him to set up a part in it if you like but cannot post pics untell tomorrow morning. he is 3 hours away and works during the day.
The part that the belt from the moter holds the collets (that come with the machine) the moter turns the head (variable speed) and you feed the cross table into the wheel.
I got the pics last night and put them on the FTP site. if you need them e-mailed to you let me know or if you have any questions. Grinder1.jpg, grinder2.jpg, grinder3.jpg. are the file names.
Talked to the guy this afternoon, he says he would like $2000.00 out of it but can not get pics untell tommorrow night. I can e-mail the pics if you are still interested.
We run our VF-8 with no coolent without any problems five to six thousand RPM. I would stay away from the max RPM if you can. Or you can plumb your coolent lines back into your sump so they don't spray onto the part but still runs thew the spindle.
coons. you have to use single point for two of your sides, there used to be a good example of this in the mastercam books, but I do not know if it is still in them or not.
no simple explination, mastercam, or any other program, does not like to put that big of radius on a part that small. i run into the same problems with pro-e at times. you want the radius inside and outside?
i type to slow
I know bata testers can not say much, but does it seem user friendly? Im in the process of learning Pro-e. I dont think my brain can learn a new softwareat this time
