To touch the tool off I am physically cutting an OD, measuring that diameter and touching off the tool using that mic’d measurement, so the “actual tip” as you say. So, yes, we are cutting a tiny bit deeper. However, what we were seeing (and have seen multiple times now but cannot yet

Ok, I set up simulated home switches, It will home all of the axis without setting any alarms, and after homing I can jog the W axis. But I still can't jog the W when I first open Linuxcnc using the on screen jog buttons. But I can jog it before homing using the [ ] keys on the keyboard. If

2017-06-02 Thread John Kasunich
How are you touching off (or otherwise determining the X tool offset for the insert)? For example, if you calculate the offset assuming a sharp-V geometry (the simplest case), but touch off with the actual tip of the insert (not sharp), the insert will be in deeper than LCNC thinks it is when

2017-06-02 Thread tom-emc
Ok, thanks for the responses. I found some thread gauge wires and with them have determined that we are cutting too deep. This would cause the pointy peaks and root, so the next question is why are we cutting too deep…? We believe we are entering the correct value for K (thread depth) but I

If this is a 3/8 x 24 then I assume it is a UNF thread. As I understand it, UNF (and UNC) threads are part of the UTC system, but the specification for UNF and UNC threads is that UN threads typically have a flat root, with the option of a rounded root. The rounded root simply gives more

As that one has a range then you turn to final diameter ans dont go too deep with the insert, that leaves a flat on top. Measure on the job with thread wires etc to check depth. Dave Caroline -- Check out the vibrant

There is a custom adjusting screw that I buy commercially and when I get them the threads have a text-book geometry to them. That is, they have a small flat top on the major diameter and small flat bottom at the minor diameter or root. They are made to class 2 or perhaps even class 3. I know
