Hello JoshC. Thank you for the link and modify the plans setting up. I forgot to note that we use Top/Top way for programming because we use to switch program from Horizontal / Vertical due to schedule conflict and we don't need post out B degree with angles (like B0., B90, B180...). The B angle always post out B0. then machinist input those angle provided to machine when setting up. Best regards. Metric

Good morning all, Recently our company switch back to Mastercam -They use Gibbscam for years- Please take a look the file included here to see if i make any wrong plane selected for horizontal programming?- The Top/Right/Left way is choose because similar with Gibbscam has been using. Thank you in advance. Metric. Horizontal work offset.mcam

Hi all, Thank you a lot. Regards

Hello Friends, Please give some help about milling 4330 M material. I have a forging part to mill out a lot of extra stock. I plan to use 3/4 diameter 4 flutes Kennametal end mill to rough out. Thanks in advance. Metric

Hello All, Thank you for the help. I also though about perpendicular because drill holes go through 2 sides of tube. Look like customer wants the drill not walk from top & bottom. Again thank you a lot. Metric. P.S Ron don't worry about the "Metric" thing. I'm not seeing any problem on that...

Hello Del., Thank you a lots. I got it now. Best regards. Metric.

Hello all, This may be an LOL question but please give me some help. I got confused how to read this drawing. Is this .0035" perpendicular with datum A on the 2 of .375/.3785 diameter holes? Thanks. Metric. GT&D.xls

Good morning all, Thank you for inputs. The picture is top side that i plan to remove all material & finish top face and outer periphery included the boss. The 2 inner bores will rough out for last op to bore them, because to tight tolerance & squareness(+/-.0005"). Yes Colin the second op will finish back side (which is identical shape like top side) with soft jaw & plugs to prevent the collapse. (Customer wanted anneal not "haft - hard") Hi Colin, With 3/4 end mill can i go one shot full depth of cut ? (8% step over). Can i use coolant instead of air cool?(We don't have air blow system on our shop). Thank you very much for help. MDT

Hello Bro's, I have a part 1.00" thick (4.0" X 3.0" X 1.0"- 4140 annealed) need to mill out a lot of excessive stock on 40 tapper vertical machine. Please give me some advise on feed & speed. I plan to use 3/4" diameter, 7/8" LOC solid carbide from Kennametal for it. Thanks.

At my company we use : M5; G94; F(per minus). I think you need to use G1 instead of G71 cannel cycle. Hope this is work for you. MDT

Good morning Alex, I just sent to you the posts. Please help to add the logic. Thanks a lots. Metric.

Hello Leon82, I will try tomorrow, Thank you very much for helping, Regards. Metric

Hi Leon82, Thank you for advise. I did put it to yes but look like it doesn't work "tap_ipr : yes$ #Do G84 tapping using IPR (G95) feed mode?" (is this line what do you mean?). Regards. Metric

Hello Friends, Please give some help. My dealer guy said i have to contact Inhousesolution to get help!!!. "For any post modifications you will need to contact In House Solution at [email protected]". Regards. Metric. P.S Alex please lend me a hand...

Hi C^Millman, I got the post from MC 2018 installation disc. I will call them to get some help. Thanks. Metric

Hello Alex, I don't see the Misc Integer #6 indicate Unit/rev on my post . We have Okuma on our shop and use the Okuma OSP5020M 4X Mill.post for. Any idea? Best regards. Metric.

Hi Alex. Thank you. Happy thanksgiving Metric

Hi C^Millman, I was on 3D mode, the line is .83" up from the Z zero. Metric. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hello friends, Is there switch on the post to post out feed rate per revolutions? My company just switch to Mastercam from Gibbscam last week. So I have to learn to minor modify post to have some program to to test run in the mean time waiting to order all posts. Best regards. Metric

Hi every body, Just had 2018 installed with update 2 on it. Look like the line parallel on 3D mode did not work. It always laid on Z zero level. Metric.

Thank Ron & RiderX. I will cal PCT to see if the drill can hold the size good for this depth. Regards.

Hi all' Thank you for replied. The hole location is +/-.005" and it's blind hole, they don't give me the extra deep at bottom for reamer goes. that is why i can not use reamer. Regards.

Hello all, Please give me some advise to drill a .1255" +/-.0005" hole at 2.5" deep on aluminum. A Sanvik rep. introduce me the CorroDrill solid carbide coolant fed will do the job. Any body using it? Thank you MDT
