  1. Heat is your enemy. SFPM can be too high, or the chip is not flowing up the flute of the drill. peck of 50% or even less depending on the drill. Carbide might work better for a smaller drill. Some coolants can cause Polycarb to craze so use caution there as well. Maybe air blast instead.
  2. This assumes that you have the 5 axis license.
  3. I think I played with this in the past. What it does is change at point but, from there forward. You have to change the next point back to the feedrate if you only want one or a selection of segments to be altered. In addition, changing the feedrate in the OP or tool does not reset the feedrate in those subsequent OPs. There is room for improvement here. Not sure how the "lock feedrates" setting would affect this.
  4. You can combine MESH into one unit regardless of connectivity. If it a clamp, shouldn't be an issue with what kind of entity it is.
  5. You can go here: Forums – myMastercam The developers are in this location and you can ask them directly. You can also email [email protected] and ask your question directly. You may or may not get a developer here.
  6. A very wise man once told me, seek first to understand, then to be understood. Many Americans view the traditional Chinese/oriental philosophers with admiration. Still, the petulant nature of youth transcends all nationalities.
  7. Possible option. Click drag the parameters to another OP. Downside is you get a lot of changes. Not even sure what all does change I just know not everything.
  8. I recently experienced this. My computer went south and i am currently using an out of the box computer. The video card is causing a crash on exit. Buy a computer that meets or exceeds the minimum recommendations.
  9. This would also be convenient when drag drop or copying within the same file. I do this a lot. My habit it to rename the nc file and prog number every time before I post otherwise I wonder why it asks to post the same file twice.
  10. I love dynamic paths. For sure many times staying down is "better, faster, more able to leap small buildings" As neurosis points out, and is my point, the given example is not one of the best. Most times I'm happy when the program fits in the control and doesn't make the control processor go crazy.
  11. Who cares if it retracts? Modern machinery is very fast and likely faster to retract over a distance as in the example than to go at a high feedrate at the same level. Agin, who really cares. this guy is a troll
  12. Anyone have recent experience with these machines???
  13. yEAH, search noob... So, I did. I remember seeing some screenshots from you awesome horizontal guys but can't find them now. I'm trying to refine my sequences for operations based on both center programming and part datum programming on the horizontal. What I'm running into is when I create a setup sheet (Active reports) the fixture rotations do not output to the field I have for it on the page. I.E. G54.1 P1 P2 P3 Etc. I output the full XML file from setup sheets and it's not in there. I see the first G54.1 p1 then nothing. The post outputs correctly but I can't get the setup sheet to reflect the rotations. So, 2 questions really 1. Setup Sheet fixture offsets? Ask my reseller? 2. How do you organize your toolpaths for multiples?? subgroups for each tool? Got a screenshot of a toolpath manager list? BTW, not a noob by decades
