DEAR FRIENDS,

WE DO HAVE ONE POLYGIM M20 MACHINE WITH MELDAS M60 CONTROL.AND FEDEX BAR FEEDER.

OUR PROBLEM IS WHEN WE WANT TO TURN STEEL COMPONENTS IF WE GIVE A DEPTH OF CUT OF 2.5 MM THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE PARTS ARE VARYING FROM ONE PIECE TO ANOTHER.

HOW MUCH IS THE MAXIMUM DEPTH OF CUT WE CAN GIVE IN THAT MACHINE,

THANKS AND REGARDS,
CHANDRU

with some experience on sliding head machines you can take quite a meaty cut but it all depends on material, so sppeds and feeds to suit are crucial, normally with a heavy cut the feed would be a minimum F.03 MM/REV lets say, far quicker to take rapid 1mm cuts so its less stress on the machine and remember were machining holding on a guide bush which is only supporting the bar not clamping it like a chuck so material type is important on all aspects of speed feed and depth of cut, hope this helps
