Recommended Tooling
Position in CNC Machine
Spindle
On a CNC Machine with only 6 Tooling Positions, we would recommend setting
up the tooling in the following positions:
These would also be setup in the same positions in EzyNest.
On a CNC Machine with 8 or more Tooling Positions, we would recommend
setting up the tooling in the following positions: (Only change from 6 tool is
80mm Surfacing cutter position)
These would also be setup in the same positions in EzyNest.
Drill Banks
Depending on the number of drills and the availability of Left / Right
hand tooling.
We would usually setup the less common drills, such as 3mm, 8mm, 10mm
& 35mm first closer to the outsides, then fill as many 5mm drills together
for gang drilling of shelf holes.
On a CNC with only 6 Drills, we would include 3 x 5mm drills together in
positions 2 – 4 to give the most efficient gang drilling options.
As the CNC gets a greater number of drills available, we continue to add
in more 5mm Drills, until we eventually get 5 x 5mm drills going in both the X
and Y directions of the Machine.
