These videos are helping me at my new job I'm a state certified tool and die journeyman but never had much experience running cnc from my old job . I just made my first part on this cnc lathe after watching your video
I agree with the previous comment. You refer to the drawing and you say "you can see", as if we are looking at the drawing. Being new to machining, it would help to see the drawing. When new to programming, comparing the drawing to the finished part would clarify everything.
My apologies. We have that drawing and the video on our website, but I didn't mention that in the video description. I'll make sure to add that. www.southwesternindustries.com/videos/detail/od-threading-prototrak-slx-cnc-part-1-programming ~Patrick K.
What is the point of button tool? Ive yet to create a tool path where it says i can use the button tool. I have always used one for profiling until the SLX doesnt let me
Watch this video. th-cam.com/video/cj5WdEamfbc/w-d-xo.html When you are cutting a part that requires both left and right tools, a button tool can do both. T.P.
Thanks for helping out with that, Patrick. It's also on the page for that video on our website: www.southwesternindustries.com/videos/detail/od-threading-prototrak-slx-cnc-part-1-programming
