Nice stuff, cant wait to throw myself into it.

Ok folks how many of you bothered to look at this????

 

In my opinion you are not using a 10th of the new more powerful stuff of Mastercam if you do not look at this video. I will bump this everyday so that hopefully more of you get the point to look at these videos. Alot of people bitched about what are they doing what are they offering well folks this alone pays for maintence in my book. We have 12 seats here and I with 100% certainity will push all be on maintence that are not now. I have a good example of a part. It was done in MR105 V9. We are doing the roughing with surface rough pocket in about 1-1/4 hours a part. We have had to do alot of editing to get to it that good. With this new Core roughing toolpath and the steep and shallow setting along with the transitions page I cut the toolpath in half. We are doing this on a 3 spindle machine doing 18 parts per strip. That is a savings of 13-1/2 hours per run. I will have 2 runs a month for the next 5 years. That is just one toolpath. I can not wait to explore how it is going to help in the finishing of this part. That has saved our company $65,000 this year alone. More than pays for having 12 seats on maintence 5 fold on one part. So cheat yourself cheat your company by not looking and not learning. I will being pushing this up everyday so get use to it.

 

Oh and the 57 page PDF on Machine and Control Defintions has been printed and put in my Mastercam book for reference how about yours???

[Thad]

[Jeff the haas_guy]

Very good videos. I think it helps to play around with it first and then watch the video.

[Die Sinker]

I hear sound, but don't see the video. I'm running WinXP Pro on a 3.2P4. Do I need a patch for Windows to run the video or what? A DVX patch? Thanks.

[Steve Zirtzman]

Die Sinker,

Make sure you have the latest Macromedia Flash player installed.

[Die Sinker]

I have the latest Macromedia Flash(v8). Still no video. Maybe I need to save the file, not just open it?

[Steve Zirtzman]

Die Sinker,

Christine is hooking me up with the video files. I will let you know when I have access to them.

[Guest]

Wasn't there a codec that was available on the original X disc that allowed you to view the CNC videos if you coud not see them.

 

I remember it was accesible somewhere I just can't recall exactly where at the moment.

[crazy^millman]

My daily bump to keep these fresh in your minds.

 

Have a good day.

[DavidB]

Why can't the videos be downloaded and saved for further viewing and training?

[Jody]

David,

 

They are go here and download the MR1whatsnewvideos.zip dated 1-23-06 195 meg DL.

 

I downloaded them put them on my USB stick thingy and took them home to watch them again. They are better than the crap on the TV.
