  1. Today
  2. I have asked the price of Vericut and they told me that it costs 30k. It seems excessive to me, at least for a freelancer. I had the idea that the price would be around 10k
  3. Thank you, I have created some more stock model in half so that the load is not so much
  4. I have to make a thread that I have never made before. This is a left hand acme thread 3 threads per inch. Must have 3 entries Can anyone help or teach me? Regards https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rqz57ac68vegfbinuwxjs/Acme_Thread.mcam?rlkey=m65bsp5fjkre4tgm9k04qzwju&st=rc4hw7bq&dl=0
  5. Morph between 2 curves with no extra geometry created in a 3 Axis output and call it a day? Not exactly the same, but would get it done. Sorry out of room to post a screen shot here is a link to the Dropbox file. I did try sweeping a surface and no luck. Ajmer has a good solution. Link
  6. I am starting on C++/Cli. I have referenced the system windows form, but I dont know how to show a specific winform that I have created. Can you help me please?. I have open the template that create a line. But I dont konw where and how to call it. Thanks for your help.
  7. If they are optional then you will need to get a hold of Mazak and pay for them. They will then send you codes to unlock them or send someone out to do it. It is all about $$$$ with any builder today.
  8. Yes Ernie you might as well add it to the collection. Thanks For All You Do Regards CadCam
  9. When you switch it to Y output it wants to gouge the part and doesn't follow the chain.
  10. so you can cwich change for Y out pu on this settings
  11. The C would work but it is too jumpy/leaves a bad surface finish. That is why I want to lock the C and use the Y to cut it.
  12. In lathe settings you have option for axis combination Y and C ,you need to marck C
  13. I have a haas st30y and am trying to put a radial pocket on the side of the part as pictured. It looks good on mastercam but wants to gouge into the part on the machine. I need to use the y axis to put the feature in. I tried c axis contour with y axis also tried mill countour with y axis output. Both want to gouge into the part. Any ideas of what’s going on here?
  14. take a look at this file i created a silhouette boundary from the front added a 0.001" rad in the corner to make the spline, next step, a little nicer then created a spline from that draft surface then trimmed it from the top with the boundary i created ajmer_ihs_Flowline.mcam
  15. Yesterday
  16. Attached is an operation from a file I made last year. I was able to make a single surface from the 3 solid faces and use a flowline operation that has worked really well and gives me the exact motion I want. Another part with the same type of feature has come through and I can't for the life of me remember or replicate how I did it the first time. When I use Loft, it creates 3 separate surfaces, just as if they were the solid faces. I've tried everything I can think of with surface, solid, and mesh tools and I'm stumped. I can tell I extended the surface because of some "wave" going on, but I can't derive anything else from it. Flowline.mcam
  17. Hello, I hope someone sees this and can help me. I have been given the task of adding 2 new M-Codes to some of our machines. CNC machines aren't my strong suite. I generally program PLC's and robots. Mazak shows several M-Codes that aren't assigned a function. We would like to use M66 and M67. I have looked through the PLC program of a machine that someone started this process on and I can see the M66 and M67 used in several locations. If M66 and M67 are located in the correct locations inside the PLC to perform the function we need will they work when called from the CNC controller or do they need to be enabled somehow?
  18. https://www.elliott-tool.com/metal-finishing/burnishing-tools/id-multi-roll/ https://mollart.com/featured/id-roller-burnishing-tool http://www.brightbright.com/id_burnishing_tools.html Here are a few others
  19. That's what I'm wondering, if the post can be changed to read the length offset instead of the diameter. Then I should be able to make the change on the fly.
  20. I have not. I will give them a call. Thanks for the recomenndation!
  21. Is anyone using the Verisurf 2024 free tools? Are you ready for Verisurf 2025 free tools? New web page for the Verisurf tools? https://www.verisurf.com/verisurf-tools-for-mastercam/
  22. Have you tried Sugino? https://www.sugino.com/site/roller-burnishing-tool-e/
  23. Last week
  24. Disregard..... After opening the license activation wizard and looking around, I saw the license "deactivation" option and deactivated the HLE license. Probably should have tried that before emailing my reseller or making this new topic Maybe this will help someone in the future with the same issue.
  25. Purchased MasterCAM after using the HLE version for a month or so. I completely uninstalled the HLE version and installed the 2024 Industrial version with update 6. Received my License number and activation code. Ran those through the license activation wizard successfully. When I launch MasterCAM it launches the HLE version and pulls my old HLE license and I cannot figure out how to launch the industrial version and new license, I have emailed my reseller and I'm sure he can help me with it but in case he doesn't get back to me in a timely manner I wanted to reach out here. Thanks guys
  26. Does anyone have a recommendation for an ID roller burnishing tool for a 14.5mm blind bore roughly 3" deep? I have tried Cogsdill and they are giving me a 4-6 week lead time. Cogsdill is the only roller burnishing tools I have used, just cannot wait on their lead time this go around. Thanks.
