yes.....sad about Johnny Cash and Warren Zevon....shocked about John Ritter.....did anyone see the Warren Zevon special on VH1....his last recording?...it was an excellent show

It's good to hear postive stories....good luck to all of you....you're to be congratulated!

After reading all post....Did CNC Software identify this behavior as a bug?....Will it be corrected in future releases?

Thanks Rick.....and Dave I agree this would be a GREAT ADDITION to the point select options.

I have a contour chain that I need to copy to 58 different points.....these points are all on the same plane but they are ALL DIFFERENT locations.

no pattern... (like....random in space )

Right now I translate between 2 points...but this is very time consuming (click intensive)... is there a faster way...please help

lay-up mold for bomb bay doors

120" x 59" x 14"

i can't recall for which aircraft though....

.008 e mill.....machining graphite

Like rekd said...graphite is very abrasive on tooling.....cuts easy but hard on tooling.

Diamond tooling will last longer...but you'll need more rpms for it to be effective.

I would think you need to double your feedrate for roughing and up your rpms and feedrate for finishing.

hth

I have no problem with this conversion. The above advice seems correct.

Good-luck

...it's a nice feature.......never tried it on an arc though.......now I know

Happy Canada Day!

I love your music.....Kim Mitchell, Sas Jordan, Frank Marino, the Hip, Big Sugar, OLP, Santers and

a whole lot more...... ...I also love your beer.....Labatts Blue especially

thanx.....3d worked great

I'm running v9.1 mill level 3

This simple 2d swept is creating a funky move.

I placed a copy of the file on the ftp site, it's

in the MC9 directory....file name is delsweep.mc9

Do a backplot and you'll see what I mean?

I created geomerty 3x...different sync modes...I restarted MCAM...nothing worked

Please take a look.

Hide function......instead of just asking which entities to keep on screen.....it should toggle between (you can select) which entities to keep or select which entities to hide.

Same outcome but different selection process.

Tool is set to "as defined" solid tool in verify and "auto" on the define tool page.

The tool displays correctly during backplot and is displayed correctly on the tool define page.

hth you help me

I'm running v9.1 mill level 3.

During verify I can't get a 1" dia. x .25 corner radius x 1" flute length x .5" shank (3" oal)to display corectly.

It displays as a straight shank bull nose tool, which is no good....I am trying to verify undercuts with this tool.

I've tried everything, tapered cutters display fine.

This is a simple tool,I shouldn't have to create a custom tool profile for this ...should I?

What am I missing?

I used to run WinNT...now I run Win2k.....Win2k is more stable but I defrag often just out of habit from WinNT.

rekd explained very nicely....i defrag at least once a week.

Thanks again all!!!!

Thanks again all!!!!

thanks for the quick response....unfortunatly I only have the MH 24TH edition (soon to be 25th)

I keep looking in the 24th edition...but I can't find.....I'll keep looking.

I never used them personally......I've seen them in use......been told very accurate but very exspensive.

Can the cost be justified for the job(s)?

How long does present setup take? Is scrap rate high? Is tool life shorter than expected due to runout?

Can someone explain to me please?

M12 X 1 5g (external thread)

I know that the 5g indicates the tolerance class for the pitch diameter.

But......is there any numbers to this tolerance?

ex: 5g pitch diameter tolerance = +.1mm / +.15mm

What is the difference in size or tolerance between 4g 5g & 6g?

I searched mach. handbook and internet, I could not find any hard numbers for tolerance.

....more time

These aren't prints that we produce. These are prints that we recieve from our customers.
