Missing from the question is the actuals joins needed, angles and types of cut, are the pipe sizes the same etc. and then there are the moves for welding which are another problem due to welding constraints. Dave Caroline

in 1) to uncomment to stop the code at certain points while setting up and 2) to remember what I did I also use sensible names for the variables I hope. The touch off to get the cutter on the centreline in my case is a pain. Dave Caroline On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 8:29 PM, Steve st...@tgifinc.com

For certain classes of work you dont need special kinematics, I have been cutting gears for clocks on a mill with stacked A on B, I hand craft the gcode though, as it happens to suit the work I do. Dave Caroline On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 12:57 AM, Steve st...@tgifinc.com wrote: I am interested

Depends if it is a machine tap, hand taps dont have the spiral to clear the chips, worse would be tolerance of the hole bottom depth, A, dont hit it. B, leave space for chips Use a machine tap that clears chips back up the flutes. Dave Caroline On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 2:01 AM, Igor Chudov ichu
