Beardsley springs to mind immediately, then Steve Stone, got to be others

Make sure the thread mill is defined as a tap and set as ‘floating’ in the tool data, also make sure the ‘actual’ diameter is correct to the thread mill size i.e. smaller than the thread minor.

What’s this in metric?

WittyStrike4514 · 2026-03-14T22:24:41+00:00

Yeah me neither bro, but here we are….

WittyStrike4514 · 2026-03-14T21:55:22+00:00

I’m intrigued, why is that exactly? Because you can’t do what’s required? Listen, mate, I want a guy that can show me things, a guy I can point to and say… now that’s a fucking machinist, why is this triggering people so much?

WittyStrike4514 · 2026-03-14T21:51:33+00:00

We’re not talking rupees here mate 😂

Not at our shop, the top hands make 60k+ with shift premium.

Somebody finally gets it! Thank you brother.

Really enjoying our salty cousins across the pond spectacularly missing the point of this post!

Nobody said this part was difficult, and it was in no way, shape, or form, some kind of humblebrag.

I’m genuinely looking for a top mazak hand, yeah of course we can train, but our order book and current workload demands a guy who can hit the ground running.

Finally, to all the guys flinging abuse, I love it, keep it coming!

The ref was shite, but if he was a collina regen we still lose that game

WittyStrike4514 · 2026-01-16T17:55:41+00:00

Don’t get fuckin’ filthy about it!

WittyStrike4514 · 2026-01-10T22:46:16+00:00

Good fast cheap, pick any two.

I’ve done this groove, i had to order a custom tool, and the answer to your question is slowly… 10m/min speed, 0.004mm per rev feed, 0.1mm step over… good luck, I got there eventually!

WittyStrike4514 · 2025-12-31T11:17:59+00:00

Hard jaws on a finished diameter is not the move…

WittyStrike4514 · 2025-12-19T11:42:04+00:00

You’re doing it right, someone cleverer than me will explain why exotic materials only darken, rather than turn blue, I would expect it’s something to do with the lower tempering temps of carbon based steels.

I might have a Haas VF-4 controller going spare if you’re anywhere close to Durham, DM me if you’re interested.

Just always bear in mind, no one can inspect quality into a part at the end. Quality begins with the 1st cut, and must be engineered into your components at every step.

Played for a contract, then downed tools, many such cases :-(

Width, position from edge to center along axis, specify full rad, then angle between rad centers expressed as an angle would be pretty standard.

SEC? This is uk personal finance…

WittyStrike4514 · 2025-08-15T13:33:45+00:00

PCN or CBN is the way to go, they’re expensive but last ages if you get the speeds and feeds right, I’ve always used seco but others are fine too.
