How in the world is the tool lining up every time with no encoders? Does it just rely on the timing it naturally has between passes? I have 2 taig mills and I want to get a lathe. The mills are excellent machines; I run mine 3-4 hours a day for production work and never had a problem
I'm thinking of purchasing a lathe for a project the big part of it is internal threads on some plastic rods OD 1/2 or 3/4 with 5/16 threads 3/4 deep Wondering if I could use a single point cutter for a mill to cut these on the lathe.
6:45 metric version Major dia(nominal) - 0-65*pitch*2 =minor dia and its match if tool measured correct. with inch size i havent never get it correct. allways need measure. in metric i know its in midle of tolerance LOL
Look at this video, ua-cam.com/video/x-c2qdIEsrg/v-deo.html At 2:27 you can see the steel button in the aluminum ring the signal processor uses to time the thread cuts. Contact microproto.com for processor info. I don't know why the other video is not available, but I'm looking in to it.
7:45 you dont know pitch haha. use metric its pitch you not need calculate it 0.04166666666666666666666666666667 its so inacurite. metric if have 2 pitch then its 2mm EXACT LOL so 3/8-24 allmost equal 10x1 and G1/8
Nice video and great explanation!
Thank you very much :)

It uses a Digital Index Signal Processor

Amazing
I'm interested in the threading tool used in this video. How are you holding the threading indexable insert?
See if this helps..... ua-cam.com/video/fm-zLWRJPKw/v-deo.html
Awesome!
Thank you :)

Any internal threading tool will work. ua-cam.com/video/2UxPecvZ7E0/v-deo.html

The material you are mecanis is steel or iron?
Steel
Would you use the same speed to cut 16TPI?
I would go half as fast.
After some thought..... If your machine is set for 180 rpm (inches per minute) The same speed would be fine.
@@jjjherzog I have same machine as you. I think my lowest pulley is ~450 RPM
Encoder? This video you posted link is broken.
