That option is only in the 3D surface toolpath, the problem is in the 2D function. I will get in touch with CNCsoftware and see if this is a known issue. Thanks for the help

Is a guy with the screen name hardmill still around, he gave me some great advice in the past and I have some new issues I need help with.

NO! We have 15deg dew point air. This realy sucks! And it sounds like were not the only one!

Its a gearbox with a belt, its the bearings in the cartrage itself. Haas took apart the first one and said it had lube and the upper bearings had a catostrfic failure. There is no warning, goes in an instant!

We got a 50taper Vf7 two months ago and have lost 4 spindles already. Anyone else having issues. First one went about 200hr #2 went 60hr or so #3 less than 40hr #4 less than 10hr! We run lights out and this is killen us. Hass is given us the standered run around! I would apricate any advice.

I say to hell with it till monday!!! Kannon I will shoot you an email asap. Thanks for the input. Zip

I am trying to drill aprox. 40 holes of sevral different sizes in cyldrical tube parts. I have 60 parts all very different. I got solids from the customer after I drew a few and tested the solid drill, all worked like a dream. Now I have two big probs!! First off half of the time Mcam says the solid has no holes. Is there some hole tollerance setting that Im missing? Second ,and most irritating, anytime I have holes 180deg apart it trys to drill both from one side. When I tryed to extrude a boss to close the hole in the center of the tube once again it says the solid has No Holes Detected. I fear I am in deep POO Please help! Zippy

CMS went under and had alot of Moris. They had an add in one of magizines not to long ago.

It depends on what type of cut ie; slot or profile, and the cutter/machine como plays an important role in chosing depth of cut and raidial cut. My rule of thumb for A2 D2 and whaten is 50%-75% of dia when sloting and 150% and up when profiling. It depends on what you can get away with. I fing it is always better to go deeper when you can so you wear out the whole end mill and not just the end. Just my .02 Aaron

Im with the above, if you want to get it done fast, contor and deal with the sulgs. On the other hand I find that I have more importent things to do, you know... BS on the forum, chat with the sexatery yada yada, so alot of times I pocket just so I dont have to babysit slugs. Hit the big green one and walk away!!

Mark, What Mits cutter did you use? Tom from Tandem is a weekly viseter here I will see what he has next thursday. Thanks Aaron

Thank to all, the Solidedge veiwer did the trick. Aaron
