I will have a trial for programming job 3

[metalworkerr]

Hello

thank you for entering in my post

I will have a trial for a programming job

I haven't been making programs for quite long time however I did download iTNC530programming station and I've been using this software for more than 1month and I find it very useful to refresh my memory

they will give me a drawing which can be anything however according to their industry sectors I think it will be more a steel rather than aluminium or any other light material 

I don' want to spend long time to make calculation for feed and speed 

I will probably have this kind of tools:

Normal twist drills which can be coated or hss, diameter 5
Normal tap which can be diameter 6 
an 80 face mill with tips
a 20 profile mill with tips
a 10 rough profile mill with 4 flutes 
a 10 finish profile mill with 4 flutes

May you please give me your parameters of this tools about feed and speed for a steal FE360? Or where could I find a table about Speed Cut for this kind of tools?

any suggestion according this matter will be very appreciative

thank you in advance for your help

But what if they give you a task to program for some other material? Then, why not make the feed/speed for the material a user input parameter?

Look at this program.

Thank you mrainey

have you never tried this software, is it free? is it safe? I don't want to get a virus, I can't find a link to download it

thank you very much in advance for your help

Thank you btrueblood for your reply

however I don't know what you are talking about "make the feed/speed for the material a user input parameter"

thank you in advance for your help

Before you become a CNC machining programmer you really need to become a machinist. You need to understand surface speed, and feedrates. That is just scratching the surface. Rigidity of the setup, coolant, clearance between tools and fixturing, finish, tap drill sizes, types of taps, thread milling, reaming, rough and finish boring. Climb and conventional milling. Cutter compensation right and left, lead in and lead out.

Good Luck,
Bill
