sphinx drills come on 1mm shanks very good drills

how do you use the VBS files?

Multi DNC with rocket ports solid and good support

It is the rapid moves the picture shows it following the roughed contour and it verifys fine but stuffs in the machine if I change it to absalute clearance it is fine

It is on a Matsuura fanuc 18i but it has done it once before on our okuma to.

Has anyone had problems with core roughing using minimum part clearance it verifys fine but crashes in machine!

what am I doing wrong?

Altek, I have not met you but I did know many people there. Is Jim still working there on the Mazak Cell and is it true you guys are moving to Everett?

thanks, I think I have everything the way I want it and would like to keep it!

how do you save your toolbar settings and config with mcamx

Solidworks is great makes nice setup sheets to

A good option to buying a HAAS is try out YCM a little more money but at least twice the machine we bought a 50 taper 10000 rpm it is really an amazing machine for the money.

I opened your file you can pick the top 3 surfaces together then the bottom one in a seperate op click single row may not be perfect with the flat endmill but close

did you try using the single flow check box. they are right if the two surfaces cant align you will not be able to use flowline unless you seperate them

I would think it is how you setup your work coordinates, -1 = G54 or sometimes 54 = G54

play with the values in your MCX file

I beleive they run on a diffrent language but I have seen people post for them might want to check with steve kidd at www.multiaxis.com

H and D's could be handled easier by using the machines system variable

Spindle tool is generaly a 5000 variable so you could just tool change and have H=5020 D=5020

that way wich ever tool is in the spindle both comps are active for it

Mitee Bites are great use them all the time.

Hey anyone try inverta-bolts great for certain applications

Roger, thank you very much. Guess I was just use to hitting entity from version 9

I am an Idiot but I still cant figure this out!

first if you use solids for drilling you can not get the change at point to work. So I create points at the desired locations which work for change at point. So when I pick them to drill it does not do it in the order I picked, But you are right it is the order I created. Is there no way around this except to create them in the order you want to drill them?

does it print faster if you go to print preview then print from there?

Is that going through a network printer? the printer on my computer prints fast no matter what but the network printer is slower between wire and shading. Maybe it is printer settings?

I know many people like the haas for entry level but I mean come on he should have been arrested just for making them

there is also a glass car like fuse that could be blown.

Mop tool does 3 things

Air cut reduction

load monitoring

adaptive feed control

You run several no load programs for each axis prior to setting up your cutting data

each tool has multiple setting pages

for pocketing, contouring, diffrent types of cutting applications. Then you can group it in material types also. It will prevent chip thinning, insert life increases and run time increases. I have set it up at customers several times on average tool life has increased 15 to 30 percent, and run time decreased on average 26 percent. They have AE sensors on machines sold in japan Acustic emissions it listens to the cut instead of monitoring the load they took it from there cnc grinder balance technology I beleive. Great option may not be field retrofitable.

Scientific cutting tools and micro 100 make great small single and multi threadmills.
