Cool. I guess the change at point isnt just for drills anymore.

Change it to a ramp instead of a contour. If you have to use a contour add a higher Fx.x at the begining of the first arc. (You said you were cutting a slot right), You would have to change this after you post it I dont know of any settings in MCam.

I move them to a different level.

Did he think it was freeware?

Always more than one way to skin the cat.

Do you have .020 in your Z stock to leave?

Ive always wondered how to do this too. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, our post is missing about half of the stuff you showed me how to change. Thats the only reason I started with a fresh one. Apparently our post isnt supporting any of the funtions available,(The stuff you just showed me how to do). I think Ill send it in to FastTech to "doctor it up". I think it was somewhat of a generic thrown together several years ago, and it hasnt really ever been updated as our needs changed. Maybe if I start with all of it, Ill have a better understanding of what to change, and also be on the same page as everyone else! Thanks again.

No John, its the version I had with my install. Is this the wrong one to use? I followed what you had given me above, but Im not sure how to fix what Ive got. H and T still disagree. Stuck again.

All-right, I built a new machine def., with a full version of the MPMaster post. This helps, because I could never see everything available that our customized post does not contain. Im get stuck when I get to this: quote: N110 T1 M06 (11/32" DRILL HS) N120 (MAX - Z2.) N130 (MIN - Z-.75) N140 G00 G90 G54 X.375 Y.875 S556 M03 N150 G43 H0 Z2. CUSTOMIZABLE DRILL CYCLE X.375 Y.875 Z-.75 CUSTOMIZABLE DRILL CYCLE X.875 Y.375 Z-.75 N160 G80 N170 M05 N180 G91 G28 Z0. N190 G28 X0. Y0. N200 G90 N210 M30 Simple drill cycle right. How do I get the H and T numbers to agree, and how do I get it to output a G98 G81 XLOC YLOC R.1 Q.25 F0.0? I think Im closer than I was 2 hours ago. Thanks all.

Thanks guys, will have a chance to play with this later this morning. Right now, I gotta get a spindle a turnin.

Thank you to all for showing me the light with the WCS, I've been using it for several parts now and I dont see how I would have done them any other way. Goodbye to X-Form/Translate for me!

Hello!

Heres one for you guys; I would like to be abe to set my standard peck drills for .100 pecks, which I do have this set, but I would like the option of having another cycle to choose from for my reamers, which I like to peck with .250 increments. Now, I have to change the first and second pecks back and forth, not a big deal, but I just programmed a baseplate with like 137 holes in it; anything to speed up programming time would be appreciated in my book. Thanks all.

Agreed. I have a VF10 for the rough stuff.

We just used our MiniMill to do 1"-14 with a threadmill, You can use a tap, just go fast with it or it will stall out.

Could someone change the zip extension on this download and e-mail it to me. It looks cool, but the firewall wont let me get it as usuall. Thanx again,

Thanks Matt. Checking it out now.

Any way to get a different extension on the end of Hardimills Tutorial? It ends with .zip, our firewall prevents me from getting it. Could someone change the extention and e-mail it to me? Thanks.

Thanks to all for the info. Will dig in deeper tommarow.

Anyone figure out what causes this yet, having the same problem with a new seat of MCam, doesnt want to post out three ops. Posted it to the machine earlier, then added three chamfer ops to it and it wont show in the post. Open to suggestions,
