Well, I'm not sure if I get your problem, but this is what it sounds like to me. If you are at Z0 and you tell it Z-.100 measure, you are telling the machine that Z0 is -.100 from where you currently are, and you are currently at .100

We have 6 ITS-bore's from Iscar.

What is it?

35K, How do the CVD endmills hold up in aluminum castings?

Why do you have to go with SECO instead of choosing the best tool? Sounds like someone is getting a cut of that action

When I installed the new drivers for the Microsoft mouse and then set it as an arc mouse, it fixed my scrolling/zoom issues in Mastercam.

How is your customer going to check it? I would check it like they will. .003 over 52"... I think just about any material will grow and shrink that much based on temperature.

I want to send in a file to see if you have the same problems I do with it. Can you post up here or email me? Thanks,
-
I have the same problem with some files and not others. I don't know what the deal is.

When I go to verify my lathe part, it does not flip the stock at the stock flip. It just runs the 2nd sides tool paths on the top of the tool paths that were ran for the first side. It works properly in backplot, but not verify. Is this another bug?

What kind of shape are the chucks in? Don't say round.

I don't know if they worked on it, but I installed MU1 and drew a bunch of lines & arcs and trimmed them every which way and didn't get a single error.

Thanks, that helped. I got that taken care of now. Now I have another question. I have it posting like this: code: N16 T32 M6 ( .501 BORING HEAD) T6 G00 G90 G59 S4000 M03 X5.375 Y-.681 <======= G43 H32 Z.25 M08 G98 M60 G76 X5.375 Y-.681 Z-.3875 R-.09 Q.002 F8. M60 X6. Y-2.056 G80 M09 G91 G28 Z0. M05 M01 Is there an easy was to get a G60 on the arrowed line, but only when its going to be a certain cycle? Thanks David

Just to update this, I got it to work. The problem was that the position amount was set to 0 in the parameters from the factory. After I added a value it now positions from the same direction every time now that I use a G60.

I would like my post to output an "G60" when I use my fine bore cycle for single direction positioning. I need the G60 in every position line after the drill cycle call. For example, from this: code: G98 G76 X5.375 Y-.681 Z-.3875 R-.09 Q.002 F8. X6. Y-2.056 G80 M09 To this code: G98 G76 G60 X5.375 Y-.681 Z-.3875 R-.09 Q.002 F8. G60 X6. Y-2.056 G80 M09 I can just add an M60 to the drill block from my fine bore, but I don't know how to make it on every block after until the G80. Can someone help me?

Colin, we want to have our cake and eat it too... That and we want undo on the trim function. I mean ****, if it ****s up 1/2 the time, then at least give me the ability to undo it and try it again, Without having to exit the function to undo it, relaunch the function and try it again!

I'm glad to see that my post out of frustration has led to 50 replies!

You have to have more than mill level 1 to do it.

Question about the mouse pad, I answered Other. Then I wrote in the box, "The mouse pad is the whole reason to upgrade!"

I just hate it because if I have a complex model that I am doing wireframe with, and I am trying to trim 2 lines, it will keep giving me a pop up that interrupts the process because it can't preview what I am not trying to do. Then I have to try again and again, reposition the model, so that I can click the proper lines without getting too close to the lines I don't want. Argh! Its just a pain in the xxxx and I wish there was an option to turn it off. Give me the alarm after I click or something....
-
Is there any way to turn off the damn trim preview?
-
We would use a rubber mallet and hook it under the part and pull. We did about 15 shafts here a few years ago, but a much smaller thread, like 1 1/2 - 12 by about 20" long or something like that. We wore out 2 hammers and 2 operators, but got the chatter out.

I have a 'bar puller program' After I post the program, I just copy it to the end of the program. and change the numbers.

So I have set my coolant as 'on' in my control definition file. Then when I go to my Op Manager and click on Group -> Properties -> Files and check my Operations Library and Operations Defaults settings, and they both show the coolant as on In my tool settings "use tools step peck coolant" is not checked. For some reason that I must be missing, the coolant is still off every time I start an operation. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks David
