    Anyone have the simulator forget the stock configuration when it is open with the part? I have seen this a few random occasions. Mostly when I have a stock cylinder and it reverts to a block. Also the simulator seems to not remember whether a solid is selected for stock on re-open of a file. That's pretty consistent.

    Not much discussion on the actual poll here. I found that tool life in spotting with a HSS SD is related to chip load more than anything. I like to have the hole chamfer there prior to drilling so use a spot more often just for that rather than location.

    Change the direction to follow the longer edge. If you start from the bottom, you don't have to do as much roughing or none at all depending on the size of the cut, tool, part etc.etc. Arc filtering is on the 3rd page under the "total tolerance" button That, and stepover are your only facet controls.

    I'm not usually as aggressive in copper as aluminum but start as Ron said and you may end up with a little less SFPM and sticking with the higher chip load. This is where machining becomes the art that it really is. There are good artists and not as good. I was sending copper chips 30-40 feet across the room back in the bridgeport days.

    That's a great drawing with a couple of issues. Seems like normal everyday stuff to me. I remember the cocktail napkin (literally! a cocktail napkin) days back in the 80s...

    i WOULD DO THE STRAIGHT STUFF 2D THEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FINISH THE CORNERS

    Sometimes just clicking on the start button, sometimes reboot the computer. It's a bit random.

    i HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH 2021 AND 2022 NO SOLIDWORKS

    It should be fairly easy to open the file and delete the parts you don't want anymore. I always save a copy first. I haven't really deleted anything since 1989.....

    These charts are the bomb! https://www.balax.com/_files/ugd/dd22b6_06e8f9c929be4a23ae8e485f4228463f.pdf

    I am curious how many libraries people are using and maintaining. With the versatility built in, there are many ways to skin the cat when it comes to keeping track of tools and operations. There would have to be a specific tag identifier for the tool to be tracked across parts or part families. Or just within a file to see without having to do something extra like a setup sheet

    Check the control definition NC output page. Set the Max character in NC comment to a big number. 500 - 1000

    Shops need more old school guys yelling to just hurry up. Necessity is the mother of invention.

    i got a 3fl em to do it in 1:30 dynamic milling. If its alum and that holder is that long it may vibrate. Stub it all up and you could bump the SFM a lot.

    Way back, surfacing was z oriented in many (all?) softwares. Containment and boundaries all had to be manually setup or it would crash the processor. I was taught the water theory then but software could not see the "backside of the surface like it can now.

    Imagine pouring water over the part. That's projection. now turn the part as you pour. That's wrap

    In this case, I would pray or let the machine cut air. The way you are going about it seems like the best for what you have explained.

    I like the back radius tool on a 3d contour. It may not be a complete radius in places but should give the customer what they want.

    Using work offsets uses absolute based on the position of the work offset as a new datum location. I don't get what you are trying to accomplish
  20. cruzila
    There are plenty of ways to manipulate a process. Try "adjust the start of contour" when starting on a corner to allow the tool to lead in on the cut. Add in a smal external radius and you make a beautiful part.

    YES, that's the workaround.

    Do you use the checkbox? Tried to post a poll but it error

    Got the info from the Doosan site I.E. 0021 All bits on #5109 are 0 Controller Alarm Guide | Doosan Machine Tools Have not had a problem with helical before, we've done lot's of full 4th axis work on this machine, just not with MC. In one of the ops it is doing G83 but there is no helical in that one. The rest is all milling 2d at rotations. Couldn't be more basic. This would be nice to solve, but we have a workaround that is simple and easy.

    Hey, Thanks for the reply It's a Mill actually. 2016 DNM5700 i control .. Not sure how much gcode will help, it's the first move callout after tool change. not sure removing the plane callout from 4th axis post is a good idea. This works fine on our HMC another older Doosan and HAAS G91 G28 Z0. A0. M01 N16 T16 ( T16 | 1/8 STUBBY DRILL ) M6 ( DRILL ) G0 G90 G17 G54 X-1.0169 Y0. A0.

    I read on the internet that threading and a "K" value can conflict with G17. But our issue is the first position line after the safety line has G17 and "A" value which causes 0021 alarm. We have other machines this runs just fine. (Move the "A" to the next line and it runs fine) I guess my question is has anyone had this issue and resolved it with a parameter change? It"s a Doosan and I see 5109#0 is referenced on their website but I'm not the best FANUC guy.
