Hey guys, Im in a little bind, I am making this part for a 3.5hp briggs intake, It basicly attaches the breather tube back to the intake and I thought I mite as well make it like its ported, put a nice radious on it. The problem is that I need someone to program it for me.
I dont have the software or the knowledge.


I will be using a 1/8" ball end mill and .01" steps, thats about the maximum depth I can take. This is 6061 aluminum.(I still have to set up new pullies for the machine for more torque)
I would cut the hole and the contour and drill the holes myself, all I need is some G-code to make that radious with the 1/8 ball mill

Help me please!:)
Heres the drawing, autocad 2000 format dxf

Give me a few mins.

Gary :D

sweet! thanx!


Wait a second, I totally forgot to put my stock around it and zero it in the drawing.

heres the new one I need it in 2x1.5" stock.

I can do it but not tonight. How soon do you need it.
Gary

uh, at the latest, this weekend.


Thanks a ton man:)



Jon

Will your machime cut in XYZ at the same time? We should take this to e-mail. decoy@infionline.net

Gary :D

I found a little time is this what it should look like?

Gary :D

sweet! I have the holes covered,

Did you have it do the center? that wont be there because I plan on milling it out of there before I do the radious.


Thanx dude!
Jon

oh, is there a chance we can mill around the holes so I don't have to counterboar them or something?

If its too much work for ya, dont worry about it, maybe I could just draw that up.

Jon

Got yah. I cut the center hole so the rest would cut right. I'll just cut that part of the code out. I'll send you a first run and we may have play with it.

Gary :D

:D maybe something like this?

btw, does this take you long? hope your not going out of your way for me.

thanx a ton dude, I really apreciate it. What prog are you using?

Just a quick addition to this thread, I hope the code I wrote for Jon will run for him. His request came at a time when I needed something to do while I was running a long program. I consider it a training exercise. As much as I would like to I won’t always have time to do this. I also don’t want to take work away from others. So please don’t be disappointed if I turn down future requests.

Gary

Gary now is a fine time to tell us. I already have my list ready:D .

I think it is a fine thing you did and I would hope that we could all help like that at some time or maybe at another time!:D

You have been very helpful to many here and I hope Paul lets you stay!!

Mike

ps I'm still trying to get my trim application to work.

A little better?

Gary

...and I hope Paul lets you stay!!

We've been considering it, but he sure is a trouble-maker, and never does anything for anyone. :D

Maybe if he performs some kind of good deed we'll reconsider.. ;)

j/k, Gary is a great guy, as you have seen. We woudn't let him leave even if he wanted to leave!

Picture smiley face with big red cheeks blushing with embarrassment.

Gary :D

Looks awesome Gary! thanx!
I will have it done by the weekend.

Jon

Your icon reminds me of John Goodman the actor in roseanne

well I got the peice made, I ended up turning a type of a radius on my lathe, kinda a stepped radious but its still good, not the same but itll do;)

Is that a machined finish?? If it is I have the wrong machine even for wood!:D That is beautiful.

Mike

Hi all, great post.
I was just wondering if someone could help me out here. I was wondering how to program a part like this in Mastercam. What settings would I use? Parallal, Contour?
Thanks.
P.S. Do I have you permission to use your carbintake on another post, like the Mastercam Forum JFettig?
Thanks. :):):):):):):rainfro:

First I’m on the run and will make this short and add to it later, maybe Sun.

You all will now have to picture a smiley face all deflated and flat. I should know better than to do things in a rush. Despite my best efforts to side track Jon he found a way to complete his part.

I made a few mistakes and will share them here when I get the time. The good news is I always learn something from my mistakes and maybe I can save a few of you from the same misstep.

Gary

turmite: The outside contour of the part has been flapwheeled, it had some stuff on it that I probably could have cleaned up by using a finishing pass that I didnt:p


Sanghera: you mean basicly to try to program it? or to actually make it? well I guess I dont really care, just give me credit for the drawing and link me:)

-edit- Ill get completed pics of the part, I went about using a drill press to drill the holes because I still needed to familiarize myself with the G83 code and my machine:p

Jon

What do ya mean link me?
Thanks.

link me to the thread,


Jon

Is this what you meant?
