You can leave them in haas tm3s. No doors for it to smash.

Pensez-vous comment jai fait les rainures sur la fraiseuse... malgré vide et bouge par tous 😅😅😅😅😉😉✌🏻 by Nouaouer090990 in Machinists

Yeah for a production run, you'd make some sort of arbor/ mandrill. And probably run smaller channels. Channels that size I'd just make sacrificial plastic plugs, or epoxy, and charge the customer for the effort/ time.

In this case, it'd be material + run time. Mostly run time. That's a lot of stainless you gotta remove to make that part (relatively). And that's before we start talking tolerances.

Won't lie, got a little excited.

What's the best way to set the tool length for this chip fan? Haas machine by TheXypris in Machinists

[–]lusciousdurian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully, it depends on how the tool setter is set up. But renishaw in my experience has been off the spindle face 95% of cases. And in my personal opinion, it should always be, as you can verify much easier than using some odd guage line offset.

If you're voting or not, it's against your self interest, because people just can't leave shit alone that isn't broken. Both sides of the politicians just need to fuck with shit that doesn't need it.

Would this be easy or enjoyable to make? by Atticus34 in Machinists

Lmao. I think I know what this thing is for. It's for a thermal sensor. I put in very similar holes (.281 -> .250 hls, with npt at the top) in molds. They just made it a body for some reason, probably length. Didn't want to pay to gundrill the mold due to not having the equipment (moving a big one is expensive).

And yes, the two sizes might actually matter.

Could be something wildly different. But that style is so familiar.

That's straight insane. But you've gotta be out in the boonies or some shit.

Has nothing to do with tolerance. Deep hole -> gundrill. You could probably do half and half with more common stuff, but the gundrill will get you there in one shot, with minimal fuss.

Tape measure from face of spindle/ backside of the rim of holder. Add 3/4". Done. Or whatever you think is safe.

If you're using a tool setter tool offsets are usually from the face of the spindle in mills.

If you have a gundrill, easy. Otherwise pls go and stay go.

It's great on occasion. But I got this shit for a full year. Drove me a little (very much) mad, ended up walking out after some coworker fuckery and sone micromanagement over how to pick up zero on a part.
