new lathe first time programming having issues drill tap
Ok people be easy on me. This is my first program done on a lathe. Figured it would be easy coming from 4th axis milling man was that not right haha. first time setting up a lathe too. made a precision bar that locked into the 5c collets i then locked the collets in place with loose tool holders locked the tool holders down once positioned, offset the tool then loosened the collet, and backed it off. then offset the length by touching off with a piece of paper. so i belive the tools are aligned the profile finish and center of the hole are spot-on as of now.
Anyways simple face rough finish with a spot drill a drill and a tap. having issues with the drill and tap I don't think it's my feeds and speeds but who knows? as of now, the hole is coming out at .29 with no threads. using forming taps m6 x 1 with a .2188 drill (or close to)
The machine is a thrown-together gsk PLC lathe controlled by a Fanuc motor/ servos. is post-processed with fusion 360 as I cannot get the post-processor on the inventor to output the same coding which is another issue that I could always use help with but the main issue is getting this code working for now.
