2d mill contour tool path questions

[Cuda84]

John I was thinking this was going the same way from the very first post (Graphical toolpath editor).

If I could split an existing chain into two chains then I would like to create different entry and exit points.

---

You can use the same chain in 2 different toolpaths.. with different start and endpoints

right click a chain and check out

"Start Point"

 

also

Shorten and Lengthen on the Leadin/Out page

are very uselfull for using a chain in multiple toolpaths

[NeilJ]

"also Shorten and Lengthen on the Leadin/Out page

I haven't experimented with Shorten and Lengthen yet. I'll play around with them and see if I can make use of these options.

[Mike S @ S4A]

it sounds like you need either:

 

1- some good training

 

2- time to experiment so you know the software better

[NeilJ]

I think I need both, Mike.

 

I can't comment on training or value added resellers as that's not allowed here.

 

I do have a new series of questions that I will be posting based on experiments I did today with chaining.

Sometimes parts that I have programmed get changed and have a very tight tolerance applied to just a section of an existing contour tool path.

Well if your using the same tool for different tolerances hold the tight one and everything else that has a looser tolerance will be in. No need for different D numbers. Otherwise you should add another op anyways with a different tool. Always like to use a separate tool for tight finishing.

Rechaining takes what, about 15 seconds? Including the sip of coffee.

A reason to gripe for failure/inability to do

ones assigned job.

[NeilJ]

I got it. "Jes" is a reason to gripe for failure to learn how to spell.

Got it. You use software that is as perfect as your spelling.

HERE WE GO AGAIN

When I first saw "NeilJ" post, I knew something was fishy, but I didn't say anything. So I just let the evidence develop... to see if my hunch was right. For a bit though, just a bit, I thought my initial hunch was wrong, then the WCS topic came up.... BAM! I was right.

 

As far as I am concerned, NOBODY should help this guy out, EVER. He want to talk smack about this forum in the NG's and on his blog, and he even goes so far as to name names and lie about people. Since this place sucks so bad, he certainly shoudl not be a beneficiary of any of the information here as far as I'm concerned.

What Jon, errrrrr NeilJ thinks of the Mastercam Forum

 

Not that it matters what he thinks because really in the grand scheme of things, it does not matter one iota... BUT, what does matter is that he says what he says and comes in here expecting help. That's what matters and it's TOTAL

[Eeyore-nonhuman forum member]

Who is an idiot to help the person like JB to have fun here ?

JB , How do you feel inside a clique of idots and xxxx ?

How came you do not know basic things ?

The answer is simple - you are lazy .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I haven't experimented with Shorten and Lengthen yet. I'll play around with them and see if I can make use of these options.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The guy like you - an expert in every possible thing ,preaching in his blog ,for us ,xxxx ,not to try this stuff .

Man ,you killing me .

 

 

As my grandmother used to say :

Gule ,kapzun ,dreg ist velvul !

Hey James,

 

I thought the same thing as I started reading "Neilj" posts.

 

I guess we know where he is hidding now??

 

What is up with the fake name?

 

John

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

His original name was banned. so he's resurfaced with at least 1 alias. He's been kicked out of EVERY decent forum on the internet. The News Group folks hate him too, they just can't ban him there.

 

Dave Thomson (eMastercam founder) made some sort of deal with him and let him stay after he proved that he was a legit user. There were certain conditions he (Jon, errrr NeilJ) had to abide by to stay. Nobody knows except for Dave and Jon what the agreement was. Rumor has it he was threatening to sue eMastercam. He's lucky I', not in charge. I'd show him the finger, then the door and welcome the lawsuit. eMastercam is a privilage NOT a right.

 

The forum membership is growing tired of his antics and his trash-talking. Seems like he's off his meds again.

"eMastercam is a privilage NOT a right"

 

 

James you are darn right.

 

I have had a great deal of help when ever I have needed it.

 

I think we all know who the "idiot" (J.B or Neilj or what ever) here is!!!
