Thanks Rick I try that

Clearing the chip is what I need to do The code Tim has posted is what I would get inc. or abs.

Thanks just tried That(smooth and steps) no difference.

Thanks for writing back Yes I have tried both depth cuts and Peck groove Retact moves abs. and inc. but the code will not post as I want. to rapid until .015 from where it left off. Imagine a peck drilling cycle. Thanks

Hello everyone, Not familiar with the lathe in MC v9 I have a simple groove tool and I peck in the OD for a groove. When it does, it rapids out like I want but then it feeds all the way back into groove. I would like it to rapid back in within a set amount like .015 or so then begin to feed once more, deeper and so on. Is this a setting within the dialog parameters or in the post to get what I need.

Thanks for all your responses more than I anticipated. This will help us. Yes we figured it may be a throw away machine in about 8-10 years if we are lucky. Then again that may be all we need for now. Thanks again. always a great forum.

Hey Gang, How are the Fadal's now a days. They have a new series I understand. Ran a few in earlier days but now I’m thinking of giving them a try again. Mostly for soft milling. Longevity, accuracy and so on. What do you think. Also I believe we may be finally moving to MCX. MC-X2...

Yes Mac's are more money. And you are also buying the name. (They are a nice well built machine these days, then so are Dell’s which can be expensive too.) More bang for the Buck can be had on the PC side by far. Especially if you build your own clone. More configurations also. But doesn’t everyone see that they are slowly coming together. Mac’s are becoming cheaper and more useful towards the PC side, still retaining what people like in a mac. PC’s are becoming more creative and media minded like the Mac use to dominate. The only or one of the only other technology’s is for the OS’s to run each others apps. Wow! That’s cool. Go to a store. Buy some software. And it runs without the “For a Mac” or “For Windows”. Apps will be just Compiled. Not for any particular OS? A universal Compiler. Ah go figure. Software developers could just post and sell their stuff. Never have to worry about the market share. More Apps are created and sold into the windows market because of its market share, no brainer. The Mac people could finally enjoy the wonderful apps on the win side and vise aversa. I know I know, Its not that easy. Someday Maybe someday….. Oh well dream on. True Hasps will probably not work now but if that was the way developers went? The hasps would follow too. Ahh its just talk for now. A what if I guess. Its all just what I think MAY happen in the future by what I read and see in the market. Bla, Bla Bla. just good discusion. Thanks for it Hey, Iskander teh Owl Nice pic you create it does it have a meaning?

Jeff, Yes currently that is the case. Parallels, Boot Camp and so on. You are right. But I still believe it’s only a matter of time before things change to running WinApps on the MacOS natively. I too would like to see more links from anyone that has them for running our favorite apps from windows in alternative OS’s. Here is one link, not much. http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/06/20060630170338.shtml Ill post more If I find any. Don’t get me wrong I do like the windows environment. I did start on the Mac for about 10 years or so, way back. Used both for a while then just windows. I just really find it interesting. Don’t you?

From what I understand windows apps will run in the native Mac OSX soon(?). No emulators and no special software. You will really have a choice. PC or Mac. Mac’s are UNIX driven now and intel based. If you choose Mac Hardware, then Mac and Windows software will all be available to you. Now... How long is soon? Who knows. It may be a few more versions of the OS, (lately 1 version a year) but possible. That seems to be the direction they are taking. If it’s the software app you really like and could not really care if it were Mac, Linux or Win. Who cares what the OS is as long as you like it. If it’s correct about the direction Mac’s are going then the consumer will have the best of both worlds (on mac hardware) and it will not matter what the app is written in. I enjoy both Mac OS and Windows. Both have their drawbacks. The Gap is closing. For now I stick with the PC. Interesting though, huh.

Someday maybe but not anytime soon? Possibly sooner than we all may think...

Yes Kannon, A bit of a commute for ya. I understand. Hardmill, wish I was there then. would have be good.

You Got it James! Heard great things about you too! Our current Programmer is leaving for a wonderful opportunity he just cannot pass up. Gonna miss the guy. It would be nice to fill the position though asap. Maybe someone you know might be able to help. Let me know. Tanks
