    yes done a little over the years, HSM is great at undercuts

    I use Bitlocker on both laptop drives, I have not had any issues with Mastercam

    You can also load subs PSELECT LT300.MIN,OP1,MS759.SUB,Q1 and folders PSELECT MD1:\TEST\NOEL.MIN and drives PSELECT HD0:\O6001.MIN

    Try something like this, N010 VSET V1=1 N020 PSELECT TETT-1.MIN N030 PSELECT PART.MIN N040 VSET V1=V1+1 N050 IF [V3 LE 10] N020 END

    Standard MAZAK stuff mate, does it have the usual G68.2 and G43,3?
  6. Greg Williams
    Okay I have to ask why would you want to do this?
  7. Greg Williams
    You can add RAH support to any 4 axis Mastercam post, there are a few videos around on how to do this

    Some run Horizontals with Front plane as B0, I use top plane as B0 https://youtu.be/8JE5X2XPJCo
  9. Greg Williams
    You need to have B0 as the top plane, if you use the C-hook importing files in very simple

    LOL

    Most 5 axis posts will be locked to a SIM by the developer. The only semi open one, is the generic 5 axis post that is installed in Mastercam, as said earlier this can be edited to output what you need, many have done this. https://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/cad-cam/anyone-have-opensource-mazak-500a-5x-post-mastercam-371488/ https://www.cnczone.com/forums/mastercam/393934-mastercam-mazak-posts.html

    Do you have code that runs?
  13. Greg Williams
    Like Ron said, it is possible to get the generic 5 axis post to output the correct code, if you are a post guy go for it, if not, do yourself and your machine a favour, buy it from one on the many post suppliers. I doubt anybody will give you this post for free as these thing take an immense amount of time to produce and test. Just my 2 cents worth. Attached is a piece of sample code to work from. PEANUT-PART-2.EIA

    I think we really need to rotate a round solid around the part to get the actual shape, maybe something like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/654gmj5y1i476y5/5TH AXIS 1166-1028-000W MOTOR FLANGE.mcam?dl=0

    30 seconds here. I have a Dell 5530 laptop
  16. Greg Williams
    Yes correct or you can use the new G605. For 4 axis there is a also a callOO88 function. If your machine has IMAP it will automatically track B axis indexes
  17. Greg Williams
    Updating codemeter will certainly help. Get the latest version 6.90 from the website

    Doug, I have a customer with Solidcam Imachining and Vericut force. He says he regularly gets around 10% savings. I would expect the same for Mastercam dynamic toolpaths although I do not have real data on this.
  19. Greg Williams
    I would not be using G605, but hey each to there own, CALL OO88 and G169 will give the best results
  20. Greg Williams
    Hi Pete, Welcome to the forum, You will have more success uploading a file. If you cant use the one you have draw something similar
  21. Greg Williams
    He may have used google translate, sounds like he is trying to save a Machine simulation presentation
  22. Greg Williams
    Oh Hello mate
  23. Greg Williams
    If you are resetting the WCS this may be the issue
  24. Greg Williams
    Yes correct with every rotation move, attached is a sample, Basically it runs a macro in the control and recalculates a new work offset based on the PP and PH numbers, the control then uses the new work offset. Selecting the original work offset will turn it off 5-AXIS-TEST.MIN

    Rich, Nice one, I haven't seen that before
