Thanks for the suggestions. They have eliminated several hours of internet searches.

Here's the scenario. The machine is an Okuma Genos L2000-e with live tools. I have a part that needs to have some grooves and back side counterbores turned. The easy part is the front c-bore is 1.180" diameter .65" deep. Then the through hole is 1.0" diameter. After going .2" deeper the back...

Lyndex markings are worse than Hardinge for visibility.

I've never used one, but these guys can get you up to 3,000 psi. https://www.atssystems.us/cooljet-high-pressure

Okuma has it. Spindle Speed Variation Control. You set variables for speed variation cycle (0 to 25.5 seconds), amplitude percentage and interval timer (0-12.5 seconds), and you activate or deactivate with M-codes.

I want to thank everyone for their input. The short coolant nozzles (like the QPM products) I have on hand are doing want I need in that regard. It's the longer coolant lines I need to create a solution for. I suspected it would boil down to getting some copper or stainless tubing and bending up...

I'm looking for something better than Loc-Line to direct coolant where I need it to be. I need high pressure directed in just the right spot for chip control when turning plastic, and fitting a small orifice nozzle on Loc-Line causes it to move around like a loose firehose. An application...

I think there are 12-step programs to help you figure out how to deal with friends like that.

Air bubbles to kill the anaerobic bacteria.

Isn't that what she said? ;)

I forgot to post a follow up. I did have to add a G95 to the program, and i discovered it couldn't be on the same line as the canned cycle code. I also followed the recommendation of the application engineer at Gosiger and changed the G178 to a G184, along with going into the machine's Multiple...

I'm programming and running the machine mentioned above, and I'm having an issue with X-axis live tool tapping. The issue is when feeding into or out of the hole the machine seems to be feeding in inches per minute mode instead of inches per revolution. Here's a copy of the code the machine...

Can't say TMI here. What's the material? Is there a drawing with finish and tolerance callouts? If it's just "blast 'em out fast so the weld shop can attach 'em to the ends of pipes", make a set of vise soft jaws to hold round blanks. Face one side, flip, face, drill and threadmill side two...

Hello, we're from the government Autodesk, and we're here to help.

I didn't study...

Send me a message with your name and mailing address and we can work out getting them to you. Just to be completely transparent, it is not my intent to spend my own money to ship guide bushings without a plan for me to get my money back.

I don't know for sure. They are marked S&M 0166, if that helps. Thay all seem to be sourced from Southwick & Meister.

We have a Tsugami SX26 Swissturn that has reached its end-of-life status and is being replaced. This leaves us with a couple of drawers full of collets and guide bushings that we will give to whoever wants them. We have main spindle and sub-spindle collets, and main spindle guide bushings...

Tuna salad is okay, but I much prefer smoked salmon salad. See if you can talk them into that.
