G & M Code - How To Manually Program A Thread Mill - Vlog #57

[@TITANSofCNC]

At 2:21 there's a graphic error of ".2325", which is wrong. It was supposed to display ".257" for the drill size. Sorry for the mix up!

[@Lepp004]

Hi Titan how can I use this technique for a single point thread mill?

[@CNCVMCTECHNOLOGY]

Hello Titan, please explain about external thread milling 1/2"-14 NPT , X and Y starting position.

[@cdquintin3635]

I was going to point that out lol

[@cdquintin3635]

@@Lepp004 no there are many more lines needed for a single point thread mill. I was hoping this video was for a single point treadmill normally programming a single point takes me close to an hour without CAM. I was hoping he had a cool trick like the last 3D roughing video.

[@cdquintin3635]

@@CNCVMCTECHNOLOGY it's the same principle only you're comping in not out, but if you're approaching a hub with clearance room personally I would use a lead in.

[@keathpolyak6469]

Titan, learning manual programming is the best. Thank you for your very generous contribution to an industry that has treated me very well. I am a certified general machinist, working on CNC since the beginning for over 30 yrs. A simple trick or saying I learned for using I&J in G02/G03 is, (remember it as you are the cutter) "Where is arc center to me"? This number is the actual distance (incremental) from where you the cutter are, to the center of the arc that you are programming. Titan, I noticed a safety area that I always use to this day (which has saved me more than you know) is on the G43 line, [ G43 H12 Z5. ] the "Z5." used in conjunction with single block, gives a safe position to stop that a tape measure or gage block can tell you if you are at 5.0" or something is already wrong. Even Z2.0" is better than running in rapid to Z0.10" of within the part. I even have the posts for cam programs changed to output this as a master start point! With the speeds of the machines these days, we all need habits in programming that build in safety to help reduce hitting the parts or worse crashing the machines.

[@frankr608]

I do the same but with a 1." above part or fixture, clamp which ever is the tallest.

[@keathpolyak6469]

@@frankr608 excellent, I remember programming 1.0" or 2.0"...easy to check with gage, or 1x2x3 blocks. I have migrated to 5" or 10", as I am on large format horizontal boring mills now. This as you suggested, is safe to clear a number of obsticals. Programming manually or with cam packages, I feel there must be safety built in to the programs until fully proven.

[@gangleweed]

Never having been exposed to any CNC expertise in my working life and being a retired fitter and turner now for last 20+ years it never ceases to amaze me that a threaded hole can be milled this way.........10 years back I indulged myself and bought a CNC mill from over the pond just to experience the G code moves for fun and get a big kick out of learning to write G code to make the machine do what I want......no cutting anything it's just for the fun of watching the wheels go around.....I don't have parts to make as all my bits and pieces or one offs..

[@johntunnard7328]

Titan, these g & m code vlogs are excellent. Banking all this valuable information. Moving shops next week, to a company who have the largest number of haas machines in the uk. Been using cam and conversational last 5 years, so these videos are really giving me a way back in. Thank you so much Titan, love you man!

[@nathanhood4800]

How about programming a counterbore?

[@Vytor01]

How about starting with the basics since you are teaching CNC. Every student should understand what all of the basic G&M codes do so they can read a program. Although you can get a list and read it, actually seeing it in a program and understand how it is used is a good thing. Tie the codes together and make a part that uses them so a new student can read, understand and see the codes in action line by line.

[@wethenorth3695]

Should teach this with single point thread mills. And have a tutorial on G02 and G03 with I' s and J' s. Leading in and out with a arc

[@Daniel-lq5rg]

From experience, it's usually best to arc into and out of the cut instead of going straight G01 into the part for an improved tool life.

[@shawn01707]

That is correct but for the purpose of training via KZbin it will likely confuse people and add to the complexity of the program. For a Beginner program it is perfect.

[@veeramanik5089]

my best teacher for ever

[@neilmcdonald3473]

This example is basically the same as my technique but i was taught to roll on,roll off with an 1/8 pitch movement in z instead of of a g01 linear movement and also i noticed no cancellation of cutter comp,but hey if it aint broke dont fix it,love the vids,keep it going Titan.

[@johnlarock4486]

When the D value is zero it wouldn't matter, I wonder if the comp would move the cutter off the centerline and leave a line in the thread, I guess it depends on how the HAAS handles that back and forth movement between passes. I noticed he had some code covered up maybe it was the G40s and he cut them out to simplify things.

[@adamdolga6485]

Awesome video, like how you explain each part of the g code. Quick question, what diameter did you put in the tool offset?

[@kelly63C10]

Great Video Titan. Can you go over why you choose to thread mill vs. rigid tapping with an M29?

[@martinconnelly1473]

Since you have not had an answer I will give you a few reasons that may help. One is that when tapping blind holes you can get a fully formed thread nearly to the bottom of the hole. If you were rigid tapping you would normally start with a taper tap then use a bottoming tap which requires two tools so adds time to the operation since the tool has to be changed. Another reason is that using rigid tapping for blind holes it can be hard to get all the debris out and the tool can jam and then snap off. This is usually a major problem if it happens as the broken tool will be stuck in a hole and can be hard to remove, a thread milling tool is a smaller diameter than the drilled hole so is unlikely to snap and is also a lot easier to remove if it does. A third reason is that a thread milling tool can be used for different sizes of thread, This tool, for 18 threads per inch (0.555" pitch so why wasn't that used in the demo instead of 0.55" as it will produce a loose and badly formed thread that will pass the go/no go test) can be used for any thread diameter with this pitch, a standard tap can only be used for one size. If you had a single point tool it can be used for a range of TPI/pitches and diameters. This means that if you have a tool changer with limited spaces you can use a single threading tool for many different thread sizes where standard taps would take up many stations. Fourth reason, you can produce left and right hand threads with a single thread milling tool. The final reason I can think of at the moment is for large diameter threads. There are two problems with these, one is the torque required goes up to the point where it may move the workpiece or stall the spindle on some machines and the other is the cost of large standard taps is usually high compared to a thread mill. Hope this helps

[@neilmcdonald3473]

How about plunge milling to remove alot of material with an incremental stepover,similar to your recent video with the large 45deg angle.

[@skimanization]

Good video lesson, as a novice, like a child, I'm learning a lot, I'm not an engineer as a production line worker I'm always exposed to these machines and engineers. I want to know how their doing what they are doing on a daily bases. Thanks.

[@caploader111]

Why no G40 to cancel cutter comp? Is there a parameter to avoid an alarm? Im thinking that if theres no value for D4 there will not be an alarm but if there was a value in tool geometry the machine would have alarmed out.

[@smgjb]

very nice video. we don't need to put a G40 going back to the center of the hole?

[@raider1628]

love the manual programming videos!! could you do a video on how you guys go about aligning the tail stock to the 4th axis in the mill. alignment is crucial to making perfect parts!

[@brianheath4884]

Just use round stock with center drill . Or just find center of index head. Then take half the diameter of tail stock . Now just tap to distance of half the diameter using a indicator. Then indicate tail stock straight. It's not to hard after doing this a few times you will get fast at doing it.

[@davemcclue6226]

Hey Titan, thanks for all the videos. I’ve tried using this exact code on my haas at my work, but I get a compensation alarm. I have the correct information in my offsets page, is there a setting I need to change to get round this. Also no G40 either, how does that work. Relatively new to this, so any help would be appreciated. One last thing, I thought you have to comp on at least half the radius of the tool. Sorry this is such a long comment. Boom!!

[@timdavis5707]

Dave, you can use as little as a .0001 comp value when using the (hole dia. minus tool dia.) / 2 formula as long as you set your dia. to zero in the offset page. Hope this helps.

[@davemcclue6226]

Hi Tim thanks for the reply. I didn’t know that was a thing you could do. I always thought you needed correct tool info in geometry page. What about not needing a g40?

[@chasen4l]

I just barely saw this trying to figure out how to do thread milling.. The way titan explained it was as if you are programming without tool compensation.. that is why there is a tool compensation error.. take out the g41 and try the same code

[@woodwindfixer]

Re: cutter comp. the ancient machines at my school (fadal) require a 90 degree x or y move to the first cutting plane (larger than the radius of the tool) to engage cutter comp. it doesn’t look like you needed to do that with your controller. Am I seeing/understanding this correctly? I know all machine controllers have their own ways of using/requiring the input to some extent.

@titan Which programming is much effective manul or CAM

[@mactec98]

Titan, If you could go over manually programming a 82 degree countersink. A lot of haas guys have told be it can’t be done. I don’t believe that. I’m thinking setting up a sub program would be the place to start and knowing the change in the radius for each change in z. Not sure how to format it. Thanks for your dedication to the trade

[@Secondscapes]

the problem is that the radius changes constantly as you move in the z. You can't program a radius that shifts constantly. What you can do is make tiny tiny tiny radial and Z moves and at each step recalculate your next radius. I'm talking a tenth in Z at a time. In reality it won't be a smooth chamfer but in practical terms it's probably close enough.

[@Factory400]

When I first started learning this stuff, there was no G-Code. We just had chisels, hammers, and small dreams. Seriously though, these fundamentals videos are great for those hoping to move up to programming and the coveted title 'MACHINIST'. See definition below.....

If you don't use .000 on the tool diameter offset, You get 369 Cutter comp alarms. I think the fact that the offset is .000 means you don't need to cancel the G41 since it's technically 0 He would have done well to include that bit regarding the actual offset he used and why.

[@manmachinemake3708]

Set your Cutter offset to .000 and the rest of the numbers as calculated, then run the tool .200 above the hole and see if it works before dropping it in and crashing a $250 thread mill. He fails to mention the offset needs to be .000 to start

[@anupm3048]

How to do the helical engaging instead of direct engaging which is similar like cam software output.

[@chananielwizman2401]

If spindle speed is imperfect, can this still be done with single tooth cutter? I know for fact my 30 yr old cnc will not synch S and F perfectly..

[@CJ-ty8sv]

Unlike Rigid Tapping, Spindle speed error is irrelevant with thread milling, single or multi tooth. This is because with thread mills, particularly multi-tooth like what Titan is using in this vid, there is no helix to the teeth, so all that spindle speed error is going to cause is chip load than expected. Now with that said, yes, this type of incremental programming can be done with a single tooth cutter but you have to repeat the helical move (i.e., the G03 I0.040 Z0.055) enough times that the mill comes all the way up and out of the hole before moving back to center. Example, if you were doing the 5/16-18 thread like Titan and using an identical size thread mill, just single tooth cutter and were starting from 1/2" depth as he did (i.e., recreating the exact hole specs he did, you would need to do the Helical move at least 9 times (10 or even 11 would be preferred to ensure that you were truly out of the hole before moving back to center and back down to repeat passes.

[@Okko001]

Hey Thanks for the videos, Can someone tell me what the G72 code stand for ? Thanks again 😉

[@Dhandhangururamdasgur]

Umbre001 G72 in turning is rough facing cycle. In this you define material size and finishing pass, doc, stock to keep and machine do the roughing for you

[@TomGasior]

I keep getting Alarm 369 Tool Too Big on my VF-4. I’m using the same tool and followed your program line by line. I also made sure to input .2325 on the Tool Offset Page, in the D(Dia) box under Geometry. Is there a setting or parameter that needs to be changed?

[@manmachinemake3708]

I as well. What he failed to mention is.... you have to set the tool offset @ .000 for this to work, at least on my older VF-1. These are great videos, but there still needs greater depth of explanation on the why's, how's and for's.

[@andreascarnato]

Hi, but the G40 ?? For return in the center of the hole??

[@mirzoni5331]

U can use r as well but u need write two passes with r ;)

[@joshuathibodeaux9092]

What is being blurred out after the x-0.04?

[@josecastro4143]

perhaps a feed like F50. but if you don't put a feed there the machine will use the last feed that was input, in this case F20.

[@lukaszgorzala6717]

Hi Titan why G01 x0.04 not G3 x0.04 r0.02?

[@mirzoni5331]

R is half with r u need to make one pass more.

[@lukaszgorzala6717]

Mirzoni With r it will use arc instead straight line extra pass will not be needed as end point will be same as with G01

[@ElevatedEdge]

Correct me if I’m wrong so if you use a r value it would be half of .04 and he is useing .04 to be half of .08 so that is why he is using .04 and not r.02??????

[@lukaszgorzala6717]

J0nzi3 USA He is using (half of 0.08 ) from center of a hole in as straight line (G01 x0.04) but if you use (G3 x0.04 r0.02) instead threadmill moving in a straight line will make arc movement (semi circle in this case) ,to make that arc it will need radius (r0.02 - half of 0.04) hope it is clear enough

[@timdavis5707]

Either way will produce the same results unless a very minor step in the bottom thread will be a problem for your process. It's just a G01 will reach the cut quicker than a G03. Remember, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

[@jordanmunoz6223]

So with a single point thread mill is it the same math just with more passes?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Yes, just add a L value with number of rotations

[@jordanmunoz6223]

Thank you so much but I've never used a L value? I've been learning so much from your videos and made me such a better operator could you use an example?

When and when not to use tap or thread mill?

I believe that you missed z-.055 end of the pass. finish pass started at .165 above the started depth....

[@CJ-ty8sv]

There was nothing missed. All 3 passes start from Z-0.5 (absolute). Remember, at the end of each pass (after tool moved back to center while still in G91 (Incremental) ), he put it back into G90 (Abs) and then the next line is Dropping the tool back down to the Z-0.5 absolute (i.e., the G01 Z-0.5 F50. ; line) and then the next pass starts and then it does the same thing, back in to Abs, moves back down to Z-0.5 and then back into G91 (Inc) and does last pass.
