Good morning all. Thanks for your help guy's! Christian Raebild, the number of decimals in the NCI file was the problem! That one has been bugging me for a long time now, it'll be so nice to have it proper. Hope you have a good weekend! I'll be here working Thanks again.

Ok Bucket I put an example of my problem on the FTP site in the mc9 file named "60 DEG ROTARY.MC9" This it how my mpmaster posted the A move: N14 G00 G90 G54 X-.3125 Y-.875 A-59.999 S15000 M03 Thanks for your time Eric

Eric braces for a verbal lashing...hehe First off I am a registered user so please do not bite me . I am getting a little picky here but I am using the mpmaster post on my haas VF2 with the 4th axis. It is working well but for some reason it adds .001 deg to all of the A moves? eg. A-60. posts as A-59.999 This is not a big problem I know but I am wondering if someone may know how to fix this? Thank you Eric [ 10-24-2003, 04:08 PM: Message edited by: Eric Salsman ]

hi guys I have been trying to modify my mpmaster post for the same thing. I would like the default value for "lock on first WCS" set to 1 in the post's misc. values? This way I could turn it off without editing my post each time. If I try Dave's way of: sav_mi9 = mi9 in psof and change to sav_mi9 = 1 The misc. value in the parameters still shows 0 but when I post it is locked and I have no way of turning it off? What might I be doing wrong? Thanks Eric

hmm...gold plated eh? Maybe I should make some gold plated cribbage boards. LOL ...naa. I think I'll send them out for anodizing then engrave the cards on them should look cool. I might have to learn how to play! Eric

Hi all Scary but true it's comming soon already . I thought I might try and make some crib boards for x-mas gifts this year. If I can find the time to squeeze them in. I am wondering if someone might have a mc file of one they would not mind sharing? Beggers can't be choosers I know...but I was hoping to make one that is in the shape of "29". Any other ideas of things that you might have made for gifts in the past? Thank you. Eric [ 10-14-2003, 10:17 AM: Message edited by: Eric Salsman ]

If you part is smaller than your face mill you can use a contour toolpath and ramp it. Check the plunge option and the face mill will cut one way then feed down and cut back the oposite direction. Hope this might help.

I know I am hijacking but it is related to the coolant subject. I am interesred in what kind of skimmers you guys use as well? We had one that was flat disk that turned in the coolant then a wiper removed the oil from it. But it removed more coolant than oil. I use Valcool VNT 650 and it has worked well for the miling I do. As long as we keep on top of the trap oil it does not go rancid.

Well thanks. I guess it is out of my hands. You are right would have been nice to make it a switchabe option. Oh well such is life. Only thing to do now is TGIF Have a great weekend! Eric

Thanks for the reply Millman. I have searched the old threads but have not found the answer yet. I am not sure if I follow you? If you use clearance to to jump over obstacles, the drill would come up to that height each time...no? I only want it to jump once.
-
Hello I finally have a couple of minutes to spare so I am trying to figure out some previous problems. I have found that when changing from V8 to V9 the edit jump when drilling has changed. When jumping to clear a clamp I usually had to point edit the hole before the clamp and give it a jump height. This worked well in V8 but now what happens in V9 is the tool jumps in and out of the hole I edited? This problem has forced me to make separate toolpaths when I want to clear a clamp...not what I need . Any one know of a way this can be fixed? Thank you. Eric
