Very much an outsider on this subject, but i recall recently a link here or on another forum in which someone was using a lathe as the C axis with a milling head on the X axis instead of traditional lathe tooling. The X axis was very fast and would follow a programmed profile coordinated with the C axis allowing lobe to nearly polygonal shapes. THere was supposedly improved tooling life associated with the scheme as well.
I could be all wet as well on this.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
