Jaas (spanish for Haas). Settings are for Fanuc. I understand they aren't exact, but no Fanuc control is identical. I'll run into it and post a new topic later.

Then I'm doing it wrong. I cannot, can NOT under any variation that I've tried, add a U value for taper to the defined profile. And there are times that I don't want the basic roughing profile changed, but I do want the finish pass changed. R

I don't like using G70. I don't have as much control of the Finish pass. Copy and paste the profile, then enjoy taper control, minor edits, etc. I keep the taper pins after I remove them from EVERY slant, for quick close counts stuff. But dialing it back in isn't huge thing. Couple hours or...

Hope your access to this site holds up after 10,000 miles of talking shit to people. If you've got a contribution, by all means let's hear it. But contributions have a specific definition, just adding dissent doesn't fall within that definition. Sincerely, Robert

It would fit....assuming I interpreted the description correctly. The inside corner would need to reach 2.26"+width of the tool. It'll fit in a 3/4" hole.

I don't see a part number on this, but it's an Iscar product. The shank of the bar is carbide. I like it, but it's I$car.

I figured it would be something stupid like that.

If you visit CNCZone.com I'd send a PM to Broby or Superman they're both OSP guys that are really helpful

Forgive my memory. It's been a few years. Cancel everything modal. There's probably a conflict between G96 and SB speeds. That's an example of something that should be defaulted or intuitive or redundant. But the 5000 is 40 years old now. They hadn't worked all the bugs out before they...

It may be do to the length of the drills I like to use. But I find exactly the opposite to be true. It may be due to the split point or the length, generally all Screw Machine or Stub length drills are 135° split point. But it's one of the things I like about that type of drill, rarely spot...

It IS easier to split 135°. The result of a split pount is a drill that centers itself better. A smaller chisel, as it were. And as Ramsey said, "it's stronger". A 118° point is a general purpose thing-supposedly, but that doesn't lend itself to the stronger theory. General purpose might mean...

This got me thinking. It's been a while since I did tons of this type of work, but when I did....I cut a million miles of O&G threads. And I made a ton of gages. I'll try and be coherent. If you bought two different AWJ Pins, different sizes I mean. You could do a comparison of the 6 basic...

Hard gages for Oil and Gas connections gets really pricey. There's a company out of Houston named Gage-maker, Houston precision (super creative name). They build a device that uses thread specific attachments and a machine to qualify them. It does internal and external threads. I couldn't swear...

I've had some luck threading soft jaws. Trick is a power chuck for one, and when the jaws are open the theoretical minor diameter of the jaws should be only open enough to thread the part into the jaws. Not super quick, but there's a time and place. Usually I just use copper sheet rolled up...

Interesting...the TL3 I'm obligated to operate for a paycheck allows it. I want to say it's a 2013. There are a few Haas VMC's of a similar vintage. I'll see if it works when I get back. Makes me wonder if it's a setting. TL3 process; Feed hold Press letter on key pad of axis you wish to jog...
