Drilling Operations with Subspindle Tool Path in OneCNC Lathe Expert - CAM Training 12
In this training video, we will continue applying tool paths to our part geometry in OneCNC Lathe Expert. Today, we will focus on drilling a hole along the center line using OneCNC's capabilities.
Key Topics Covered:
Introduction to Drilling Options:
Explanation of two ways to perform drilling: live tooling and stationary tooling.
Overview of using the drill tap cycle for stationary drilling operations.
Hiding the Solid Model:
Using the letter 'S' for select mode and 'B' for the blank tool to temporarily hide the solid model.
Alternative access to the blank tool via the top menu.
Selecting the Horizontal Line:
Importance of selecting a horizontal line for the drill tap cycle.
Demonstration of how OneCNC extrapolates dimensions from the selected line.
Defining the Tool:
Accessing the tool library and selecting the appropriate tool.
How to create a brand new tool or clone an existing tool.
Setting tool parameters such as turret position, feed rate, and RPM.
Tool Path Parameters:
Explanation of Z clearance, entry amount, and overcut amount.
Overview of different drilling types: standard, peck, deep hole, and cycle.
Setting the Z start and Z end values for accurate drilling depth.
Previewing the Tool Path:
Bringing back the solid model and previewing the tool path.
Option to hide the solid model and view the tool path with wireframe geometry only.
