my spindle RPM IS 300 FEED IS 70 MM HOLE DEPTH IS 50 MM DRILL DIA IS 15 PLEASE HELP IN CALCULATING TIME TAKEN FOR DRILLING THIS HOLE I.E., PECK DRILLING
In Mastercam X, how would I dill a radial set of holes in a disk mounted in a rotary table rotating around the z axis? I can't find the correct drilling command that will allow the rotary table to rotate around the z axis.

To be more specific I am wanting to create a CAM based program to drill the holes in an indexing plate I plan to use on my spindexer. My preference is to use the rotary table capability rotating around the z axis rather than moving to the x-y- locations. I also plan to use a similar concept to machine slots in the plate by rotating the rotary table and holding the spindle in a same x/y location.
Have you tried rotary axis substitution, it is the last section under the parameters tab. Just make sure to put your rotary diameter in the area where it asks for a value.
if you ar rotating about z, that would be considered a c axis.
and a radial hole would not be in the xy plane.
?????
if you want to drill holes in the face you might have quicker success using a live tool lathe post and do some minor editing.
if you want perfect code out of the mill/router side it will required custom post mods
What is your reason for using a rotary instead of using point to point x-y locations?
I would just hand write it.
#500=0
#501=(NUMBER OF HOLES)
#502=360/#501(DEGREES)
x---- y----a0.
while[#500 LT #501]DO1
G90G81z---- r------f------
G91 A=#502
x0.y0.
#500=#500+1
END1
G90
BUT THE X/Y POSITIONING SHOULD BE MORE ACCURATE DUE TO THE POSSIBLE ROUNDING IN THE RADIAL COMPUTATIONS(IE: 360/5=51.42857 DEGREES )THE CONTROL WILL ROUND IT UP OR DOWN INCURRING AND ERROR
