* Doing Vertical Milling Select stock material, dimension Select workholding usually vice or strap clamps Select tools create toolpath FeatureCAM, Pro/E or hand-edited G-code for CNC, by hand for manual Set work and tool offsets (for CNC) Determine feeds, speeds, and cutting depth FeatureCAM helps with this for CNC Vertical Milling Coordinate System Work Offsets Work Offsets G54-G59 G54 X Y aligned with vice jaw left front Set G54 Z to height of top of work (type number, press F1) Offsets Setting Work Offset Tool Offsets Select tool # Jog until touch Press “Tool Offset Measure” Subtract 2.000” (-2.0 Enter) Process Rigidity: use shortest tool and tool holder deflection of tool or work causes form error keep workpiece firmly clamped and supported avoid speed/feed/depth combos that chatter Heat: use carbide tools when heat is a problem keep chips cleared (liquid or air coolant) hard chips get harder soft chips stick to tool don’t go too fast OR too slow Chip load: keep volume removed constant! especially watch tool entry, exit, corners Setting Feeds Speeds /calculator/milling-speed-and-feed Vibration (chatter) Vibration Vibration For Max Material Removal Rate: Choose highest spindle RPM Tune tool length to stay in a stable lobe at top spindle RPM Vibration CNC Programming for Mill Example CNC program – drills four holes Haas manual at: k:\class\engr\480\haas\usermanual.pdf or at /engr480/docs/Haas G-Codes for Milling G00 Rapid positioning G01 Linear interpolation (feeding) G02 CW Circular interpolation G03 CCW Circular interpolation G04 Dwell G20 Inch system G21 Metric system G28 Return to reference point G43 Tool Length Compensation G-Codes for Milling G54-G59 Select work coord system G65 Macro call G70 Bolt circle cycle G81 Drill canned cycle G83 Peck drill canned cycle G84 Tapping canned cycle G90 Absolute coordinates G91 Incremental coordinates G98 Initial point return M-Codes for Milling M00 Program Stop M01 Opt.
