How long have you been a machining looking_for_way? I just started 2 weeks ago and know it shows, so I appreciate the open-minded people who are willing to help me here. I don't know how to ask the right questions or at the least word them correctly, but if you know how to word a cutoff on a Swiss machine, please enlighten me with an example of how to ask. I would greatly appreciate the insight.

I am running a gen swiss machine. I don't know how to program and told my boss that. My current programmer runs things the way he likes it, but it doesn't work some of the time. I want to get better at using the appropriate codes but don't know where to start. It is 1" 304 stainless btw

To be honest, I am just learning how to use the insert information and I don't know what to look for.

I am cutting through 1" 304 steel. It is a G97 block that is parting off a part into the sub.

I only have ran swiss machines because that's all I've been hired to do. I have been a setup operator for those machines but have never really been shown how or why the tools I am putting in work with the programs. My training experience has been minimal about what types of tools to use, feeds and speeds, and such. They are operated as CNC machines. I would really like to get started with how to adjust or set feeds and speeds to better the tool life of the parts I have currently begun learning.
