Even when I go in and edit the tool you have to manually set the tool number and the D and H offsets.
For some reason when you edit the tool in X5MU1 the speeds and feeds to not update, any ideas on what may be causing this?
Hi,
I have about 100 (1/4-20) blind holes to drill and thread in 304SS.
I have never form tapped before and would like some advise/ know how.
What speeds to you run the machine at, what type of cutting oil? What make of taps is best?
Would thread milling be a better option?
Thanks in advance.
From my experience an stl is pretty much useless for machining, you can do some things but.... I believe Verisurf has a way of converting an stl to surfaces.
I think they are growing in use and popularity from what I can tell. I think shops are moving away from Fanuc?
Just looking for somebody who has used it before.

I have to say that not fixing the existing bugs before releasing a new version is a problem IMHO. If it is an enhancement or an improvement it should be in a future or new release IMHO.
Hi,
I am looking at upgrading my system here soon.
Just wondering how many people are using MAC computers for Mastercam or Solid modeling software? If so which one is best?
How is the performance compared to a regular windows based PC?
Pros and cons?
Thanks in advance!
