RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: EMC and lathes?

Tim:

I am happy to actually answer a question for you, since you are one of the people who was most helpful to me when I first got into CNC, first at the shoptask group, and then here at CCED.

CSS is constant surface speed, and involves the machine controller changing the spindle speed to maintain a constant speed at the material surface/tool interface, as the diameter of the workpiece changes.

Jon or others,

OK, what is a CSS operation?

I never understood diameter approach until I got the Haas lathe. Now it makes so much sense that I have no clue how I did lathe work before. Glad to see that is there.

So how far along is live tooling. That is another of those features that until you use it, you don't realize the value. Now I could not imagine machining without.

Does the lathe mode support threading? If so what about multi start threads? Looking at doing some small parts where I would prefer to set up a small lathe. But it will require multi start threading.

Thanks,
