Wouldn't tapping this small of hole be just as
good?

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] 5-axis thread
milling help
Hi All,
I'm using Production
Milling v11.5, and I need to program thread
milling for a 5-axis Hitachi
Seiki Super Hi-Cell 250 lathe using the
B-axis. The problems I'm having are
that I've never programmed thread
milling, I don't think I could do it with
PMill for a 5-axis even if I had
experience, and nobody has a code
generator for this machine. I called
Vardex for the tooling and they also
gave me programs for a Fanuc control
on a standard 3-axis machining center,
but they can't give me any for the
Hi-Cell. The threads I need are 1/2-13
(.627 deep), and M12 x 1.5 (5.50mm
deep). Is there anyone that can help me
with the code for these? I'm not a
"lathe guy", I'm trying to help out
another programmer with a new job on a
new machine.
Thanks in
advance,
Bob.
