You blow up a cutter and its the end of the world.Well, I would beg to differ with you. I would think with the experience you claim you have you would catch the cutter before it blows up. quote: Yes, me just like the bosses can feel and stop cranking the f'ing handle on a bridgeport if the cutter goes to hell. People in unrelated (management) type work have no clue what is involved in making something and maiking it work. And I bet you have no clue what is involved in making sure you have a job. All I can say is this. If you think its that easy you should invest your lifes worth into starting a shop and getting about 10 employees just like yourself. I will bet the picture changes. Its amazing that when something goes wrong its always MANAGEMENT that screwed it up.

geeeeeez John your slippin.

Well we could have the post to only post code that says "PLEASE CALL YOUR RESELLER FOR A POST". That way you dont ruin someones machine.

David, You may have to put the URL in the allow list for nortons. I cant remember where it is off the top of my head. But, there should be a list of allowed sites you OK with nortons.

James, Just what I was thinking. I dont have time at work but would like to take them home and watch.

SO what kind of help do yo u need?

quote: OK. Me = pissed off at apparant MCX suckiness. So does that mean your going to apologize to MC and say your suckiness?

Hmmmmmm......an imposter.

I would say Plug Gage, or Go NoGo Gage. HTH

If you dont have version 9 how do you have version X for MR1? Just curious, cause I dont understand what your asking.

You should be somewhere around 2500 rpm and about 30 ipm on feed. That steel cuts like butter with the lead in it. Open her up and let her cut.

Just a shot in the dark, Do you have it doing comp above the part? Could that be why you gettin the Z move. Just a thought.

Its a doooooooozy of a download too. But I have it now.

MCX Wire is now available

Maybe this week when MR1 is released. What I been told.

But, thats the easy way. Some find it a way of life to try and get something for nothing instead of like most of us here trying to tweak ours and learing how the post works. I have found once you start messing around with the post its not that complicated. I have hit a few walls but usually it was me trying to make it harder than it really was.
