Lathe parting rpm slowdown at adjustable diameter

[tisler]

When one is parting off, almost every single time, you have to slow down rpm unless you want your part to fly and damage itself, lathe or worse...we have to manually adjust the g-code; then you go and adjust program in fusion and forget to manually adjust g-code  again, and BOOM!

Bigger the  parts, bigger the problems and risks.

Just adding an option (when programming part off) to set max rpm when certain diameter is reached, and lathe guys would be jumping in joy.

Simple update, but very important. This should ld be implemented from the beginning....

Please, this feature is really needed.

We already have an option to reduce the parting feedrate at a certain diameter. Would the spindle speed also be reduced at the same diameter or would it be a separate diameter?

@akash.kamoolkar  You need to slow both, just slowing the feed is really useless. The whole point is to slow down the spindle to reduce the kinetic energy in the part just before it's detached.

I understand they both need to be slowed. My question is, do they need to be slowed at the same diameter or different diameters?

It could be at the same diameter, no problem.

Correct, at the same diameter is fine
