  1. Yes, Joe is right. You don't need to change the type of trim! Nice one Joe!
  2. If you change the type of trim (EX: from single to corner the back to single) it will let you select another entity. Not really a "back-up-one" but, it does work..
  3. This cross-references to PWA 1447 PC I couldn't find it in the machinability chart but, it looks similar to MAR-M-200+hf (PWA 1422 DS) which has 8% machinability.
  4. I found this in a Kennametal materials list. MAR-M-247 Density: .311 Uncoated (K313,K68) SFM: 30-100 Coated (KC250,KC730) SFM: 50-150 Adv. Mat'ls (KYON 2000, 2500) SFM: 250-400
  5. Mastercam cannot do 2 different rads on one insert. The only wat I could do this was to draw the tool correctly, let mastercam set it's rads then modify the part geom to cut correctly. I could send you a file, if you need it.
  6. I get the same message. It never completes. Mosly happens when moving large #'s of entities around. Shut down, restart and it's all better. Happens in X4 MU1 also.
  7. quote: That's great! I love it when a plan comes together +1 ! It's Miller Time!
  8. According to the Iscar Catalog, For Carbon Steel: Insert Grade IC528 140-350 sfm Insert Grade IC908 200-500 sfm Feed .0012-.0048 ipr 2004 catalog, page B132.
  9. In X4, when you right-click on the tool in the library, you get a drop-down menu and toward the bottom fo this is "save geometry to level" and "save geometry to file". HTH, (Thanks for calling)
  10. Try this link, I found it on Google after a search for "H28", I cannot link to it from work. H28 thread handbook
  11. I just tried it. Be afraid, be very afraid... I was using a line extension on a groove tool of one rad to get to the bottom of the groove. The new, improved cutter comp realised this and added it's own comp to the cut. Luckily, I caught it. It was going one tool rad. (.0075/side) deeper. I turned off the new cutter comp.
  12. Waspaloy, AMS 5544 plate,sheet,strip AMS 5586 tube AMS 5706,5707 bars,forgings,rings AMS 5708,5709 bars,forgings 14 percent machinability End Milling (peripheral) Cobalt-30-37 sfm IPT for 1/4 dia .0009-.001 IPT for 1/2 dia .0015-.002 IPT for 1.0 dia .0025-.0035 IPT for over 1.5 dia .003-.004 Carbide 80-100 sfm IPT for 1/4 dia .0003-.0005 IPT for 1/2 dia .001-.0015 IPT for 1.0 dia .0018-.002 IPT for over 1.5 dia .002-.003
  13. I just un-checked disable hardware accel, and .... voila!, the colors are all back in verify!
  14. Hardware accel is diabled, still all black. This is happening on my computer (ATI RADEON) and the new computer (Quadro FX 1800).
  15. I see the same thing. And I have dual color (colour) monitors!
  16. If money was not a factor, why not get both?
  17. I've never seen it online. I Got mine from my Dad, who worked there for >20 years...
  18. I can't find Inconel 100, but I did find IN-100 in the Pratt book, it is AMS 5397. 9.5%cr,15.0%co,.17%C,4.75%ti,5.5%al,3.0%mo. machinability of 8% (inco 718 has machinability of 16%) sounds like you are in thek for feeds+speeds..
  19. There is also a spiral on newer antennas, to stop the whistling when driving. This seems to be a grind operation so, could the ball also be ground?
  20. I just found a possible answer to this problem. Here is the link... Linky Check out the posts from Bob Hendrick. I un-checked "write home position clearance moves" and all the extra z rapids are gone. You MUST use reference points to control entry and exit moves wnen this is off but, I use them anyway. See if this helps.
  21. We have 4 twin-spindle Puma V550's, one 42" Bullard, 3 52" Schiess, and 2 50" New Century w/12 station ATC. We program all with Mastercam Controls are all Fanuc I program all "horizontally" in Mastercam though I know the axes can be rotated to program in machine orientation. Just my personal preference...
  22. This is controlled in the post using lookup tables. In the postblock "pgear" there should be some lines like this: if css_actv$ = zero, gear_spd = speedrpm else, gear_spd = (conversion * g_speed) / (pi$ * abs(x_min$) * two) gear = frange(one, gear_spd) *gear If it works for G97, maybe there is something wrong with one of these lines.... Or, you could check with your reseller, they should be able to fix this easily.
  23. We just moved and re-wired 5 machines. We used Belden #8335 (5 pair, 24 AWG, Shielded) Some pretty long runs, with no comm. errors. We bought the parts and had an outside company do the actual hookups.
  24. I would like to see this problem fixed: Link It is a thread about rapid moves between operations when using the same tool. This only started happening in X3 and MU1.
  25. I didn't even notice that....
