General Mach Discussion / worm shaft milling with mach3?
« on: November 27, 2018, 02:33:20 PM »
Would it be possible to cut a worm shaft on a mill with mach? ?
For this very slow spindle speed is required. From 1 - 10 rpm. and synhronized movement ( like threating ) .
example: if worm shaft is 20mm diameter, then we have 3.141592 x20 = 62,83mm
2 flute module 1.5 end mill cutter speed 1000 rpm. 0.1mm cut / flute we get 1000 x 0.2 =200 mm.
that means 200 / 62,83 would be 3,18 rpm worm shaft speed.
Could mach count and calculate this?
