Re: Thread picture uploaded
I did thread in 3/4 drill rod at 1500 RPM The pitch was 10 so they
were some deep threads ;) I would say yes to the to slow breaking
inserts because the steel will not shear the same at low speed.

Screen Designer questions
Art,
Is it possible to have vertically aligned text on buttons? It would be nice
in some instances to be able to have vertically aligned text if a person
needed a tall skinny button to make the

Re: Threading??
Steve:
Currently, running a G32 with no spindle feedback will stop the code. If
you want to dry run, you need to have the index pulse coming in. I will
change that soon, but it was only a test. It

Threading??
Art - Just tried dry running a file but it's stopping on the line
before a G32 even though "use spindle feedback" is turned off? Makes
life a bit difficult for checking code.

Very close. I am simply trying to come to grips on the best avenue for it.
For example, I could program in an index pulse when the X axis has moved a

Re: Thread picture uploaded
Brian,
Before I used the HSS bit, I tried carbide threading inserts and
chipped two of them, the tiniest piece broke off the end. I had to
use a magnifier to see it but I heard when it happened. In

Excellon import was Re: Just an update - DXF layers and elements
Hello Art,
Hopefully you can squeak it in... Excellon drill files are pretty
basic; your hpgl import could likely be tweaked to allow for their
format...
BTW, I too think control is control, and

Re: Thread picture uploaded
Wow
I think I may be a bit out there but I run about 2000 RPM for a
thread that small..
That is only about 325 FPM. That is SLOW for Carbide and you will get
a better finish at that speed. We run

Re: Thread picture uploaded
A little bit slow maybe, for a 1/2"x20 UNF my old post processor would
have done it at 500rpm, with 3 passes at 10 thou, one at 4 thou and
one spring pass. (Total thread depth of 34thou)
That's with

Maybe a few things made this less than a perfect test:
The extrenely light cuts kept the machine going at a constant speed,

Macro execution order
Hi,
Is there a way to make a line of the macro execute before starting
the next line? It seems like the macros execute by type of call not
the order the lines are entered.
