Title: How to work out auger flights
Post by: ozwes007 on August 11, 2013, 07:47:02 PM
Hi guys, trying to find a formula on how to generate flights for screw augers so I can cut them out and not having any luck.
Does anybody now if there is a formula? And we're I can get my hands on it. I have been looking for months and nothing, currently I am using cut and try from .8mm sheet until I get it close and have found that the distance traveled along the screw to do 1 complete turn is close to the diameter to cut the inside radius, am I on the right track?
Hope some one can help, don't need Mach code just the formula, I can do the rest.
