Fadal VMC 4020

[slavasp]

Hello all members,

I have a question to forum.
Our factory purchased CNC machine: FADAL VMC 4020.
If possible change on this machine milling tool orientation from vertical to horizontal. We need this for tap 1/2 NPT hole on extrusion profile which 36" long.

Thanks,

G17 maybe . not sure i understand the question?

[rodney247]

or possibly this is a format 1 or format 2 question........ Q value.. in the SETP format 1 uses the Q for the pitch for example 1/4-20 it would be Q.05 with F as the rpm..... where as with fanuc a 700 rpm would have a F35. commonly

I am going to go with neither Rodney and suggest that what they want is a right angle milling head and compression/tension tapping tool

Yes you would need a right angle milling head and floating tap holder..
But this will cost near what the machine is worth; they are very expensive. If there was a large quantity, get a flex arm tapper. If necessary you can drill/ ream on a floor model drill press.
