Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: I am looking for Lathe Cutting tool parameters for CNC

Hi Glee;

You should be able to find most of the infromation you need in a catalog
from ISCAR or Stellram. If the vendor can't supply you with tool
radius info, at the very least I would avoid doing business with him in
the future for tools. These parameters are very important for CNC
usage and have to be controlled if you are to ever to expect your cnc
system to cut parts over the long term.

By the way I highly reccomend that you consider tooling that uses
inserts. On a lathe these can be very economical and the data you
need is easly obtained. Inserts are less that $4 a piece, on a
triangular insert that is three cutting surfaces for a buck and change each.

Thanks
Dave
