You might ask for the *SLDPRT file for the same

part.

That can be opened in MC9 if you have the updated translaters for Solidworks.

I have had quite a bit of success plunge milling

P20 for roughing mold base pockets.

I used a 2.0 Carbaloy plunge mill with about .2

radial engagement check with your REP for speeds

and feeds, they were near spot on for me.

usually they will come out and assist you testing your cutter or provide a show and tell so that they can sell it to you.

The toughest issue was to get a start hole going

we used an extended holder to cover a 5" deep hole

I started with an ISCAR 1.625 coolant fed Drill

using a chip break cycle on a Hass VF3

I then had to interp out to clear the cutter for the first plunge, it took a bit of time to set up but was worth it in the long run.

I used a c-hook= Gridpocket to set up either offset points along a countor or line, and I have also used it to fill an area with points or arcs for plunge-milling as well,,

V-9 is much easier though

Good luck

Do you think you have a Spyware issue?

Has your PC ever been used to surf or download anything especially freware, pics or games on the net?

Get a copy of Counterspy IMHO it is reccomended by Dell and has worked wonders for my systems at home and at work,

If you have a new system you might have a hardware issue,

Good luck
