Looking for people running these grinders to swap ideas and/or solve problems. Software or hardware issues. Machine issues. Anything related to these grinders.

The machine we use most is a Power R. It is a very good machine, also. Is your 'R' machine windows or DOS driven? I would like to hear more about your machines.

[Jake]

My machine is Win NT CD 11, i work mainly in P1,P2,P3,P6,P32
for the moment, i also use cybergrinding.

Our Woodtronic cnc5 loader is a machine for grinding tct sawblades , we can put 60 sawblades in the loader.
i now have 2 years with the machines .

Sounds like we are running about the same things. You don't use pkg 4? I've had 2 years on them too. Maybe we can help each other out with any problems.

No i dont use P4 for the moment , its easier and faster to use
P32 and you also have more power for grinding complex profiles
i think you have a limitation in P4 that the steptool only can get bigger in diameter and that limits me , the dxf loading is a nice thing since all drawings comes in dwg or dxf files , so its just to cut out you profile from the drawing and load it into P32 and your
almost done.

on the other hand in P4 you can gash the inside rake angle on the differnt steps so you dont get negative rake angle on the smaller steps in diameter, but there is for sure more nice things in P4 that i dont know about .

if you have any problems just tell me , and i would do the same.

We have a Walter Power-R. Also a Walter Woodtronic 3 and 5. The second 2 are saw grinders.

I think all of our Walters are in the 500 series. We have the mimi, powers and loader.
I sure hope they make the sofware more user friendly.

been using these machines for 7 years now.........one mini production....one power-r and one power-r with disc loader.......use pkg's 1,2,3,4 and beginning to use pkg 32.....we mfg alot of high performance drills and step drills using pkg 3......and use pkg 4 for our form tools.....I've manufactured 2-flute ballnose tools on pkg-4 holding a .0394 dia. +.0000/-.0001 and a length of .0669 with the same tolerance intersecting into a 59 degree 34 minute +/- 5 minutes(included) in lots of about 50 at a time......using our mini production (with glass scales) and very nice univel metal bonded diamond wheels.......I'd really like to get more in depth into pkg 32..........

I have a few questions about pkg #1. I've been running this package mostly the past several weeks. When hired in the took me back and said here it is... make it run.

Have been running a lot of 3 and 4 fluted corner radius ( anywhere from .009 radius +/- .002 to .050 radius +/- .002) the machine will hold this once its dialed in. But whatg is the best way to adjust for the misblends on the diameter and ends? (tangent points of the radius)
