Greetings all; I need to setup a starting point, a preliminary turn operation, ahead of the thread carving just to get that over with before the finer work of actually carving the thread, with a .25" LOC 1/16th" round nosed tool.
This will involve cutting a 2x2", probably a few oversized, so a caliper will measure it as 51.5x51.5mm square. My question seems like there ought to be a tan involved since the answer is over unity, but I can't get sensible answers out of my ti-36x pro using the tan function. The max radius the corners of that stick, as its turned, ought to be some figure plus the 26 starting point when the square has been turned 45 degrees, bringing its largest offset under the tool/probe. So assuming I have it touched off at 25.75mm, what is the max circle radius the tips of the square will describe as it turns? 8th grade algebra was for me both 74 years ago and taught by a male teacher who was far more interested in getting into the girls panties than he was in teaching algebra. After I quit school and went to work fixing them new-fangled things called tv's, he got caught and was invited to leave town forever by one of the girls fathers who was carrying a loaded 12 ga at the time the invite was issued. He was AH enough to leave another older girl behind already pg with his child. My bitching about it beforehand to the super because I felt I was being cheated out of an education was ignored. Kharma has a way of coming to roost. Apparently schools only go downhill from there. But I still need to know how to calculate that answer... Thanks all.
