What's the diameter of the O-Ring groove you have to cut? With the 64K Spindle a Helix at a high feed rate would be my choice if it's a decent size diameter. If it's smaller you're better off plunging to depth (assuming they're center cutting) and doing it in one shot at a slower feed but...

Evening everyone, Was killing some time and decided to scroll thru the Haas website and came across this machine. At first when I saw the picture I thought to myself, why is the rotary axis on the left side of the table? Come to find out that it's in fact a lathe head stock with a rotating...

Not sure what your budget is or if you're into shrink fit holder's but Haimer makes what you are looking for. I've used them in the past and they are useful being able to get air/coolant directly at the cut. Not exactly the cheapest but they are what you're describing Tool cooling system Cool...

What is this, 2002??? I didn't even know hotmail was still a thing?

@dsj Great question and one I asked myself when I first started here. There are college's that offer degree's in optical engineering, University of Colorado Boulder for one has a range of courses in Optics. The issue I'm seeing is that anyone graduating from a program like that end's up in...

Working on a newer Tilting head DMG that has a Siemens control with Celos. We know where to find and save the alarm log's if a situation calls for it. What I'm looking for is the same kind of log that show's date and time of when Program's were changed. Not necessarily when a program was...

Done. Was thinking about posting the same over on PM. Not sure yet

Doesn't surprise me, ASML has been growing ridiculously fast and scooping up anyone they can. They have very deep pockets from what I hear. To your last point, that is another reason ASML is having such a hard time. It's such a niche industry that anyone qualified already has a well paying...

Hey all, So I'm sure you've all heard of how there is a shortage of Semi-Conductor's all around the world. Well the company I've been working for, ASML, is leading the charge on trying to solve this shortage. Big issue they are having is finding able and willing employees because the job...

I was mis-reading your title before reading your post. Was really looking forward to a thread of someone being followed by a Private Investigator 😂

Semi Conductor shortage as seen with the auto makers

I've had a good experience across the board with Chamfer/Drill Mill's for profile edge break's as well as hole chamfer's. The only struggle I had was chatter on larger holes. I found that lowering the speed and upping the feed stabilized the tool to prevent the "floppier" experience. With the...

Also, those big 45 deg microscopes scare me. I'm terrified someone is gonna fat finger a code and turn the spindle on to 18K and send that thing out of the spindle and thru a wall, or me...

This is basically the product I'm looking to find or make. We have a centering microscope like referenced in post #2 above. It's just a pain in the nuts moving it in and out of the machine manually. There's a giant power supply for the light and a USB/HDMI setup that goes to a computer monitor...

Always loved watching an endmill make it rain chips like that, even better that you can run without coolant. Question tho... Any reason your part isn't centered in the vice?

What kind of cornering do you trust the machine to do at that speed? 1575 ipm in a straight line I can see. But when you're running a dynamic toolpath like you are. Does it beat the machine up in those tiny cornering moves? I was programming a Mazak using GibbsCAM Volumill toolpath's and tried...

Now that's how you make money!

I haven't used MCam since X9 ages ago but will be getting into the 2021 version starting in a few weeks. Going to a few training sessions which should be helpful. From what I've heard about interface changes, I'm going into this expecting to start like I've never used MCam before. Looking...

I was always under the impression that single point boring was more accurate in a mill than a reamer. I see you ream after finish boring. Have I been lied to all my career???

Ooof, I got a headache just thinking about how to approach that part. Good luck to the brave soul that take's on that job.
