OT: Best steel toe shoes for everyday
For the last 40 years I have sworn by Red Wing boots. They mold to your feet. I have worn the latest pair for 2 years and they are still comfortable. And the sales guy won't tell you unless you ask that they still have a lifetime warranty. Need new insoles? Done. New soles? Done. Takes about two... -
Variable macro / Tool life management seeing each other
There is a variable that stores the current tool in the spindle. You can increment, say #501, to add 1 each time the tool is called. Give it a limit such as 20. When #501 reaches 20, then #500 gets reset to "0". Also, you don't need to use tool life for this if you don't want to. You can use...- LockNut

Doosan DNM 400 Macro Alarm MC3091 Help
Let's move this off of here. Email me at [email protected]. I have been on the phone with Renishaw. He needs to confirm but he thinks that maybe you entered the wrong activation code. If activated correctly, that activation screen you should never see again.- LockNut

Does the GUI work? You just can't call the macros with M165?- LockNut

Doosan DNM 400 Macro Alarm MC3091 Help
Has this been resolved? I don't know how I missed this. This is not related to the GUI itself. It is related to the ability to use M165 itself. The GUI works fine but users can't call with M165 because M165 has not been activated. The attached document should work in your situation. Sorry for...- LockNut

Making a large hole in aluminum
I would pop a 1.5" to 2" hole in the center, then rough the hole to +.030 with a 3/4" endmill, 2" deep at a time. High speed circular tool path, 2" deep at a time. Should take about 20 minutes total per part.- LockNut

I have a 2023 DNM5700. Is the coolant/chip management really supposed to be this terrible?
This is just a misapplication of the conveyor. Agreed the sales person should have and maybe did suggest a better conveyor to fit this application. I can't tell you how many times I heard "I can't afford that" or "you're just trying to upsell me" or "I'll be just fine" until your not just fine...- LockNut

Way OT: Earthquake here in NJ.
Sitting at work today and felt the whole building start to shake, almost fell out of my chair. Lasted about 10-15 seconds. First time for me actually. -
Tool Recommendations wanted for small high feed mill in 316
No 30 taper machine will be happy with high feed cutters. Fixturing is everything as is the proper tool holder. A 3/4" cutter will be the best probably. All of our machines have dual contact spindles and I use a hydraulic chuck. Some cutters are better than others in this regard so I would stay...- LockNut

Tool Recommendations wanted for small high feed mill in 316
What happens with these high feed cutters is you have to push them. If you don't, you will get immense chatter. That is not good for the machine. When you feed them at manufacturers numbers, all forces go up in to the spindle taper. You barely hear it. The only thing you hear is the chips...- LockNut

You can do step downs too although that gives a longer cycle time. These have about .200" flat for stepover. But, these things love feed. Don't baby them, they will chatter.- LockNut

I use these. I have used these at .060" DOC and up to 400IPM. https://www.sandvik.coromant.com/en-us/product-details?c=316-25HM450-25030P%20%201730&m=7611801 You should have decent workholding though.- LockNut
