General Mach Discussion / Lathe Screwcutting problem

« on: November 14, 2008, 03:15:58 PM »

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of Mach 3, V3.042.18 and I have a lathe threading problem.
On the first pass of the tool I get a different feed to the one programmed in the G76 canned cycle, the same when using G32.
For example if I set a pitch of 1.411mm (18tpi) the first pass of the tool shows a feed of 1.8mm,as shown by the DRO, then all the rest of the passes are correct at 1.411.

I know it's me but I can't see what I'm doing wrong.

Jim.

Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Final touches

« on: May 05, 2008, 04:34:48 PM »

I'm finding the milling Wizards a great help, but would it be possible to make a few small changes,

 in the Keyway Wizard could the toolpath be "climb milling" ,  and in Rectangular Pocket on the final pass could "rounding" on and off be added, finally please please please  can a hole with a flat be added to the Electrical Shapes.

Many thanks,


Jim

General Mach Discussion / Auto oiler

« on: December 19, 2007, 02:49:48 PM »

Hi,

On my lathe, an Emco 220, I have an automatic oiler that should come on every 20meters of travel,  can I set up Mach to give me an output for a second or so to set the relay?

Thanks.
