Title: Internal taper wizard
Post by: ozzie34231 on November 09, 2006, 06:43:48 PM
In a world where all of us  have zero backlash machines this wizard would be fine, but a few of us do not.
The cuts should be made from the inside out, so that the x feed is feeding into the metal, at least that should be the case with shallow number angles. The pressures on the Z axis are minimal.

What think Brian?

That is a good idea but I think that is going to have to be put off for the Lathe CAM and we hope to do... Art and I have lathes that we would like to make code for!

Cool. When you get to it.
By the way that same problem exists with many of the wizards, i.e. they do not take into account that many machines have backlash (some might say all machines) and cut in such a way that the tool can easily be pushed away from the workpiece.
