Drilling / Tapping / Boring / Thread
Overview
I've grouped all the drilling operation under a unique machining.
I think this is particular smart, since selecting one time the geometries, you can insert multiple operations.
Example
Let say , for example, you want to do a thread mill.
Probably you need to use a
- Center drill
- Drill
- Enlarge the hole with end-mill
- Thread Mill
- Chamfer Mill
With this machining you need just to select the tool you need and insert the requested parameter.
If you edit the geometry , all the toolpath are updated consequently.
Tools Supported
The parameter needed are basic, so there no need i explain them.
This is the list of supported tools :
- Center Drill
- Drill
- Tap
- Bore
- Counter-bore
- End Mill (for enlarge holes)
- Spiral
- Helix
- Traditional
- Thread Mill
- Chamfer
- Chamfer Mill
Where applicable , in the output code will be present standard canned cycle .
Thread Table
Both in the TAPPING and THREAD MILL operation will is present the precompiled thread table.
In this way you don't have to bother searching for thread parameters.
Once you select the thread , also the predrill diameter is updated accordingly
