And that a short fat container would feed more consistently than a tall skinny pop bottle because the lift needed would be less of a change as its used up and the level in the container drops.
Ok. But laying in bed, thinking my coding style may be part of the problem in generating an excess of heating. I'm drilling holes by ramping down to the target depth, which is into the spoil board by passing the final depth to a G3 along with a P number so it goes about 8 to 10 thou deeper per turn of the g3. I'm seeing in my mind, a huge heat load because the bottom of the mill is actually cutting a sub .00001 shaving" as the mill turns. Its a 3 flute mill. You could probably read the funny's thru that chip, which isn't carrying away any heat considering that mill's bottom edges can be seen to be chipped under a scope. Would I reduce this heat load by making that a loop, and stepping down 10 thou at the origin point of the circular path, then cutting a 10 thou chip in the next trip around the circle? That stop & drop might leave a mark, but it would be hidden when the connector fills the hole. What I'm seeing in my mind says that alone could get the job done and at considerably less generated heat simply because the chip is bigger instead of floating away on the passing air currents What say the experts? As much of this 400+ LOC is in subs,(and comments) the place to edit is in the sub, so it would be a relatively easy fix. Cutting the dsub would also need fixed as I am currently ramping down in the first quadrants cut, but just marching along for the other 3 runs to cut the d-shape. A single plunge cut replacing the ramp sounds like a good idea there too. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
