I can add the parameters in one of too ways either -Z & -X or as a cone ratio. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

Can’t understand why the pictures are so big. |

I believe that, according to the manual, these are the correct numbers: Entering ZP (length of taper) & XP ((D-d)/2) you should have ZP = 7.800 and XP = 2.090 Entering Cone Ratio (L/(D-d)) L=7.8, D-d = 4.18 therefore Cone Ratio = 1.866 Good luck! Ideally you'd resize your images to 800 x 600 pixels. Phil. |

Thanks phil That was a mistake on my part I quickly input the figures to take the picture, the overall length is 7.8 mm. Thanks for the advice on picture sizing I will look for an app to put on my iPad to resize pictures. Dell |

Okay now I have a perfect taper so I thought I would cut another piece including a bit of shaft ( second picture) but as can be seen before the taper is finished it starts cutting into the shaft , what I did was turn a short 10mm down to simulate the main shank to 9.7mm then proceeded to cut the taper but stopped with 3 cuts left there should be a slight step between shaft and start of taper.
