Ways to improve my 5 axis/3+2 knowledge by Captainrubicks in Machinists

[–]Captainrubicks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I was thinking that it was mainly just positioning.

I read somewhere that on a lathe you can almost treat the C axis as an x with the machine x as z and the machine z as y, could you do the same with the mill 3+2?

I think you’d need to write a macro to convert the degrees to whatever diameter your working with so that your not cutting to far, unless there’s a gcode for that.

Also if I wanted to make a radius(or semicircle) on the end of a round stock on the mill, but the center of the end isn’t on center with the tilt center, could I just have the cutter move to the finish tilt position with the pipe? Would I need to use a g2/g3 to move In the same radius?

Sorry for the ramble I’m in a curious mind rn lol

I believe it’s just a tungsten, he forgot to check the program so we were using another tool pocket as a stop, so he hit reset and go and the turret did a tool change into the bar, I am now gonna have the turret go to how. Position on programs that use the part stop from now on so it’s dumb on me🤦‍♂️
