i tried high feed cutters on the parts we do and no dice setup not rigid enough and tool was hanging out to far to get the depth i needed plus they dont like to break thru on thru pockets i wish we had more parts that i could apply that tool too but oh well

it was a 5 X 6 inch pocket with 2.0 rads in the corners 3/4 solid carbide varimill with air blast took about 7-8 min to rough it out kitamura 4XiF VMC 50 taper 25HP spindle with side milling you get great tool life/wear so with a small stepover you can apply chip thinning to the cut and get more feed out of the tool i only had 1 tool at the time so i didnt push it but it could of taken more feed you could do it in 2 depth cuts of 1.5 or the full 3 if the tool/spindle will take it i think it might be faster have you programmed it in dynamic mill just to get a time of how long it will take vs what time you have now

i have done it in a 2in deep pocket that was thru in D2 i was using a varimill coated 500 SFM .03 stepover @ 83 IPM with air blast seem to cut very well how big of a tool are you going to be using? how much HP does the machine have? rigid setup tool/part? tight machine?

i see this once in awhile too in X4 fresh file and the surface finish contour op sometimes will go dirty cant get it to re-produce over and over to send it in i have also noticed that sometimes when that happens to an op you regen when you open that file again it has "repaired nci" tag and is locked maybe something to look into mark HTH

contact todd r at shopware inc for a quote on the solids add on this is his email [email protected] shopwares phone # 888-222-7126 HTH

create a view for how you want the model to be then edit common parameters change the planes regen and you should be all good if i understand you right to move a solid you need to have solids is Nate K. still there? he should remember how to do this

yes the tree needs some help ( i like the artwork cnc apps guy) but please PLEASE get rid of the SCROLLING thru it what a waste of time have it all visible on the left there is plenty of room, like resize the window a bit or something JM2C

its ok but could use some improvements i HATE having to scroll thru the tree what a PIA i like that it gives you an overview of how things are set tools, coolant (x style dont stick) etc if the window was bigger might help quote: Just seems to take a lot longer when programming. yes

quote: I removed the pfcout and the protretinc and it works great. ok so if you didnt remove them how did you get it to work? sorry to hear about the 3nailz thing i was just "joshin" wit ya good luck and hope it all works out for you

quote: I still don't understand why the MD doesn't work? look for this in the post pbld,n$,where is my 3 nailz CD i think the post is still driving some of this "pfcout" force c out glad you got it working

+100 on dynamic mill

ok its been awhile since i have played with a haas but i had 2 posts setup 1 for index and one for just 3 axis to get the A out remove this from the post at tool change, null tool change, start of non zero tool # pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout, pfcout,<<<<<<<< take pfcout out of the line

where is it putting the A moves in the program?

how do you have the axis combo set all checked but the A axis? maybe try setting it like this just with x y axis and table not the whole group without A axis

josh t dumb question but did you reload the MD and to a regen of the toolpaths with the new MD?

quote: till the patch is available LMAO

peon you got mail

when was the last time you rebooted the puter

i want MC to do everything for me! all i want to do is just stare at my monitor and watch it go but please add a TAB for this in the ops manager

+1 rickster
