VIDEO of cutting a thread on 4th axis of my Bridgeport Interact CNCmill with LinuxCNC
My guy asked me to cut a 1mm pitch thread on a custom shaft.
I could not do it on my lathe, so I finally bit the bullet and wrote a subroutine to do threading with my 4th axis rotary table. I use a 60 degree chamfering end mill. Now I can cut any thread, any pitch, right or left handed, and if the thread is very coarse, the subroutine does it in several passes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMENnIJrl9Y I am afraid that it does not create a 100% correct thread geometry, but I hope that I can do enough things with it to be useful with some adjustments to diameter. i |
