Hello I hear that there is a c-hook for creating chain sprockets about? Hoping somebody here might have it and be kind enough to share? My head is starting to hurt Thank you Eric
-
So when you backplot the operations does it look right?

Hi A quick fix if you are going to run lots would be just to edit the program. Find A358.5 and replace with A-1.5. At least it would be running ok until the post get worked out

Thanks Phil I should have visited my Neighbour first! hehe See Below for answer

I a use depth cuts to get the correct thickness of slot. It is wider than my slitting saw so I need 2 depth cut passes at .0694". Then I need to drop down .315" and repeat it.

Hello What I have is a slitting saw cutting some heating fins on a part (2 passes per fin). I am hoping there is a way to transform the toolpath in the z direction for the rest of them? As far as I can tell transform only has X+Y options. It is going to suck to have to create a separate opperation for each fin. Eric

Thanks for the explanation
-
I tried it here and it looked ok You have mail
-
Are you disabling theposting in the transform parameters or Right clicking on the opperation and selecting it manualy.
-
Now that I am thining about this some more I am wondering why you can't just post the filtered toolpath and use it?
-
Cool tip Bob I'll have to remember that one
-
I think there might be an easyer way to trim the swept solid with boolean remove but that is over my head.

It is not prety but I think it worked ftp solids folder NOSECONE WITH WEDGE.MC9

Leon those gray boxes will become available when you are using splines for geometry. have found the cranking up the Linearization tolerance to 0.0001 works the best. If this is not an option you might want to try and create flat goemetry and use Axis substition but be ready for alot of winding and unwinding.

An easy way to conect entites is to use modify, Trim, 2 entities. This will extend as well as trim back any entites that do not touch.
-
you could try and scale it by a factor of .0375 this should bring it down to 2.5"
-
You could use a circle mill toolpath?
-
What version of mastercam are you using?
-
also if uou add entry and exit points to your geometry. In Lead in/out window you can tell it to use these points to start and end your operation.
-
Using the cutter comp type wear works well in tight areas. You can have a much smaller lead in and out.
-
If you play around with the Entry Helix Parameter numbers you can get the tools to ramp into the part. If the X+Y clearances are too large or your helix radius the tools will plunge mill.

New PointCloud chook for Mastercam

Thanks Ernie! Can't wait to give it a try -
MR fixed the issue! Now everything seems to be working the way it should. Thank you very much for your help!

Could this be a maintenance issue maybe? Our tech guy is a little backed up
