    Look at the Bench mark link I posted above for the CPU's. The newer 13 generation CPU's are producing better times on the Mastercam Benchmark tests as well.
  2. #Rekd™
    Look for CPU with single thread performance, these are the ones that give the best numbers on the Benchmark test. Xeon's have never performed well in Mastercam going by past reviews. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

    Just for a double check run the task manager when you have the file open and look at the performance to see that the Nvidia GPU is listed. Failing that you might try a re-install of 2023.
  4. #Rekd™
    Sounds like a graphics card problem. Are you running a system with two graphics cards (on board and a high performance GPU)?

    He is puttering around these days!!!!!

    You can use “Tabs”, this will allow you to leave some thin support areas so the part doesn’t separate from the stock.

    Since the radius does not match the end mill radius I used a Swept 2D toolpath. See the link to a video I created. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/su7grywgxavpgu39e8657/Swept.mp4?rlkey=wxjbc417jh5nc3n6izj5lzvco&dl=0

    Assuming your radius on the end mill matches the corner radius. Chain above the radius where the radius meets the wall. Then set the depth to the bottom of the radius where it meets the floor. If you link a Mastercam file I can make a video for you.

    See the video I created for you. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/w7c30jp8ocuxn311oth33/Chaining.mp4?rlkey=x1gon1hvmoebqqplv2kwjpxee&dl=0

    Post a Mastercam file (Link a file in your response).
  11. #Rekd™
    Did you save the file? Then rename the NC file and see if that helps.

    If the solid has no history you can add history then suppress these features. I would do this on a copy of the original on a new level.

    Are you using a OneDrive?

    See this video. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pw1yj29yj2jp6eapmtnse/Machine-Definition.mp4?rlkey=xyc6uyfas8fvmnp792nwd7rzl&dl=0

    You should likely set the Control Definition for Inverse Time feed rates for the rotary movements. You will need to increase the min inverse feed rate in the Machine Definition as well. Your file has it set set to degrees/min for the 4th axis rotary feed.

    You can try using a barrier cream. It might help prevent the reaction.
  18. #Rekd™
    In your Control Definition under Tool there is a check box "Enable Staged Routines". This is to turn on or off staging the next tool.
  19. #Rekd™
    Without a file it is hard to make suggestions.
  20. #Rekd™
    Have you tried just drilling one hole and doing a transform rotate operation for the remaining holes?
  21. #Rekd™
    IMHO you will never hit that tolerance with hardened D2 over that large of an area. Deboer isn't listing any end mills for hardened steels that I can see.
  22. #Rekd™
    What material is it? Like @Jobnt said this is a tall task for a part of that size!!!!!! What machine and what kind of holders are you using? What end mill brand are you using? Union Tool makes specific tools for machining hardened materials.
  23. #Rekd™
    There is no simulation for lathe.
  24. #Rekd™
    I created a video for you showing how to create a cavity from a solid model. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hk066mbfanw9r8e3fx53a/CreateMoldCavity.mp4?rlkey=bfu7st9uro7iveufb543cvsfw&dl=0

    We have a Snagit license here at work, that is Techsmith.
