Actually, it isn't. :-) With an automatic facing boring head your procedure will work just fine for boring tapers. You use a G33 move to move the toolpost the right amount per rev to cut a taper based on the fixed infeed of the boring head. That is how I cut the taper for the tightening/measuring fixture built in to the end-bracket of my milling machine: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3GMXIgdhcQp82QOr1 But, really, I was meaning that one might buy: http://www.createtool.com/article.asp?id=63 or http://www.rotagriponline.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=1027&Itemid=29 or even http://www.edgetechnologyproducts.com/tool-post-drill-chuck/ -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
