Once you have created tool paths on a part, Mill or Lathe, and they behave as we need them too, is this the end of the process NOPE! Smoke signals are required! Only a small amount of additional refinement is required in terms of speeds, feeds, and tooling to machine the part. Yep! You\'re done! Have Coke and Smile! (Or Dr. Pepper if you so inclined) A good amount of additional refinement of Speeds, Feeds, Tooling, Machining order, Origin(s) is required to be properly setup and correctly machine the part None of the above (or maybe it\'s \"C\" after all You never really know!) Once all machining operations have been defined for a part and all the details have been set, is it possible to have this part machined on machines other than the machine it was originally programmed for In other words, if we programmed the part to be run on a particular milling machine, the HAAS for example, could this same part be produced on some other vertical milling machine Yes, it\'s possible to have this part machined on other similar machines by simply exchanging the post processor for the one that works with the desired machine and then re-posting the CNC Code for that particular machine. No, once you have chosen a particular machine it can never be changed. Yes, but only once All the above When Milling, Is it always necessary to place your PRZ (X, Y, Z coordinates) at one corner of a part in order to program it Can you envision a part who\'s PRZ would be in some other location than at the four corners Briefly (a sentence or two -) describe what this part would look like. Along with your description, please draw a simple sketch of the part and note the location of the PRZ on the sketch.

Solution

7 d. A good amount of additional refinement of Speeds Feeds Tooling Machining order , Origin(s) is required to be properly setup and correctly machine the part.

8 a. Yes, its possible to have this part machined on other similar machines by simply exchanging the post processor for the one that works with the desired machine and then reposting the CNC code for that particular machine.

9 No its is not necessary to place your coordinate system at one corner for programming.

    A circular part for example has no corners therefore the coordinate system has to be placed at its center.
