Center Drilling Routine

Post by Daniel.Meana »

Is there a center drilling or spot drilling routine available? Or do I just have to create another drilling routine and calculate how deep I need the center drill to go by hand.

Thanks,
Dan

On a similar note, what is the most convinent way to creat reaming routines. Is there a way to set the retract speed the same as the cut speed?

For center drill all you need to specify is the center drill diameter and the system will compute the drill depth automatically.

For the reaming cycle the retract speed to the reference point is defined by your machine. It cannot be controlled in the software.
