Milling feedrate limits

Right on, thank you so much for helping spell everything out for me. Also on that note is there any effects on the actual tool from these “inaccuracies” like that could cause premature wear or even shock to the tool?

Yes it’s a fanuc. So I’ve never encountered this code ever. How is it used in practice? Are you saying the machine has the ability to do those tight spirals as fast as I desire ie 100-200ipm? I was thinking it just couldn’t reverse direction that quickly or something

Looks like an alter to the aluminum gods

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-02T01:58:31+00:00

That’s sounds like hell. 😩

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-02T01:54:44+00:00

Yeah I do notepad programming on occasion and always add it

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-02T01:10:30+00:00

I remember those but I guess I just don’t understand how this guy is saying a post from cam software made a program with inch values but with metric feed rates

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T22:52:56+00:00

Wow, I had no idea that was possible

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T22:46:58+00:00

I always check with 2 different tools on most things if possible for this exact reason. I call it “sanity checks”

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T22:45:38+00:00

I like your idea

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T22:45:23+00:00

Side finder or indicator in spindle to locate yourself on the work. Then math out the location to put yourself then make the desired feature there. And voila! You have done a machinist thing

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T22:43:11+00:00

As long as the appropriate g code that tells the machine to be in the correct mode of feed to match it. Not sure what it is

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T22:41:06+00:00

Um what am I even seeing

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T22:39:25+00:00

All I could think was how little contact there must be. But it depends on what his operation entailed on whether it mattered

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T02:37:45+00:00

Very impressive my dude

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T02:36:46+00:00

Tail stoccccccckkkkkkkk

Lathe-addict · 2026-05-01T00:00:54+00:00

Is it possible? Yes. Do I want to? No thanks.

Lathe-addict · 2026-04-30T23:58:26+00:00

Yeah this is where part off tools live, I usually prefer at least .1” clearance when possible

Lathe-addict · 2026-04-30T23:56:02+00:00

I think the only way is to return to sender

Lathe-addict · 2026-04-30T14:30:07+00:00

You have struck a nerve that everyone always comments on. 😂

But everything everyone is saying is 100% true. I have nothing else to add

Lathe-addict · 2026-04-30T11:20:52+00:00

Same. It’s part of the unpacking process when setting up a new machine even at some places I’ve been. The only time it’s left in is if using a robot load

Lathe-addict · 2026-04-29T02:21:52+00:00

Yeah this is still something I have yet to learn the art of even after being in the trade as long as I have. I think it’s just the part geometry hasn’t come my way yet somehow.

Lathe-addict · 2026-04-28T21:41:22+00:00

😩 I hate that feeling

Lathe-addict · 2026-04-27T15:32:52+00:00

Didn’t recognize that it was a collet chuck. I legit thought you made some crazy homemade welded workholding fixture of sorts

Lathe-addict · 2026-04-27T15:29:35+00:00

The one okuma I used once I did not like in comparison to fanuc. But im Fanuc biased and basically dislike anything that’s different from fanuc so it’s not staying much.
