cutting an oil groove in a bushing?

Apr 06, 2016 2 Replies

Guys, I need to cut an oil groove in a bushing, 50mm long 49.7mm ID. Two crossing grooves. Any way to do this on a CNC lathe? Older Siemens control. 840C. I think I would need to use a threading cycle since that is the only cycle that syncs the chuck to the tool.



Any thoughts?

Thanks, but Siemens does not support G33. Machine has a Hitrol 840C control.
