error messages ++++

[Michael Reynolds]

I'm still working on my dog and pony show, and I (first of all), can't figger out why the run times are so high. I tried doing a set up sheet on Trevor's head (so to speak), and still come up with about 78 hours of run time. I tried several different posts, including the fadal 2 post. I'm IN NO WAY saying that Trevor's run time is incorect, just that I'm coming up with this excessive run time on MY machine. I'm also starting to get a "shut down" message that says "mill 8 has caused an error (msvcrt.dll) and will be shut down".

I tried unistalling mcam and reinstalling it, to no avail.

On a related note, I downloaded the "car" .mc8, and couldn't do better than 3 hours of run time. I KNOW that this part wouldn't take that long to run.

Any ideas what my problem could be? (the mastercam problem, not my other one. My therapist is workin' on THAT one...

Thanks all!

Michael,

I have a nice file of a Boy Scout Derby Car that I made for my son. If you want I can email it to you. It takes about an hour to finish of the top side. The car looks kind of like the Mach 5 speed racer car.

What machining strategy are you using! Its a simple face to machine. If your machining aluminum use turbo Hog EM,s to rough down . That will down cut your cycle time
