You need both. G54 is your part location and G43 is your cutter length offset.

I've almost got it! Machine is set up, job is programmed and posted. Now... how do I keep my "A" feeds from going to 300 ipm??? Is it in the post or my paramaters?

Problems pocketing small holes
Flycut replied to Tom Dorgan from American Precision's topic in Industrial Forum
The only thing I can think of is to keep your "entryexit arc sweep" under 180 degrees. or you won't get a straight line for your tool comp. I like to put mine at 112.5 HTH Good luck. -

I was thinking circle mill. You won't have to figure out what your maximum lead in will be it does it for you. -
Could you draw a box at you stock size and pocket it out?
-
Can you e:mail it to me?

TY Millman, will have to check that out at work tommorow.

Still V9 here!

Thanks Tim.

I want to do a little project of my own. I would like to make a ring with my new company name written on the O.D. with elevated letters! At one of my shops we have a VF3 with rotary table and I've done a lot of jobs on it but only where the A axis runs on one line and X,Y,Z on other lines. Are there any tutorials I can get my hands on? Can I take this level of programming in any schools? Anyone in the Ottawa or Montreal area willing to teach a quick learner?
-
I always use true solid.
-
Could do it yesterday but not today. In V9 verify unzoom by .8 or F2. I can zoom in and refit but that's it??? Is there a switch I've missed?

This thread is from 2004! You guys think he still has the same class? Anyways, if you guys know something I don't... Hello!

Same as David said for V9. Right click/ bottom of the list/ auto cursor/ click it, if the check mark goes away it should be off. [ 01-11-2006, 07:54 PM: Message edited by: flycut ]

Nice link David.
-
Have you tried entering the tool radius in your machine control? If you turn your compensation to wear then you should get a toolpath that is centered on the spindle. If you don't mind me asking, what shop do you work for in Winnipeg?
-
Very nice! I'm thinking about it.
-
Might I suggest first creating the tangent line to make sure you're selecting the right section of the arcs then dimensioning that line. Welcome to the forum!

You being sarcastic David or did he thank you by email?

I've never had 2 much trouble with any Bridgeport Hardinge machine I had to run. They might not be the best but I like em. I'd buy one if I had the chance.

Try modify>convert>plines>to arcs.

skip the (shift+8) then. Only * When I typed it down the symbol wasn't clear so I wanted to clarify.
-
What does this do in a post? * (shift+8)

Make active the level you want the geometry to go to. Translate your geometry rectangularly by 0 and turn on use constuction attributes.

Thanks Thad! But my surfacing toolpath worked well without trimming. It was just annoying not to be able to do something that I figured should be simple. Come to think of it I don't think I've ever successfully trim 2 surfaces together without using curves.
