inconel and 4130 more interested in the inconel parts. But all ears.

So I get thrown into the fire for these inconel parts. the shop has no insert cutters. Using coated 5 flute roughers and finishing with 1/2 in 5 fl. They got me running this rougher at 220 rpm and 2 inches a minute. .1 depth of cut. OMG . Then had to drill 8 .099 holes. with screwed up drills. Finally found a carbide and ran it at 1500 rpm and feed 1.5. did good for remaining holes. If any of you steel guys got any tips Im all ears. Here you have a shop who had promised this job the 18th. Its late and I am just starting it. 22 parts. If they had the right insert cutters I could have eliminated 1 operation and the machine time would be way less.

This mill has no floopy or memory stick. wire direct

Its all good. Np problem. Boss said aint the first guy. They have files saved on network. You should never store programs on a haas mini mill. you store your files/pgms proved out on a computer and network. I think they tweaked the pgms and never sent back to resave them. We always only had one finished program. Not 3 or 4 on all the machines. It causes way to many problems. I had to debug 2 more programs that came into the mini mill after it was empty. Owner says no ground wire on mill causing sending probs... oh boy......

hey guys, New place stored allot of pgms on a mimi mill. they have back up. Memeory was full. All week long have to delete program top load one. Well this morning. I deleted allright all 499 on the mini mill by accident. Must have hil delete all.. Anyone know if haas can recover them. They do have back up of files. The machine was loading prgms with errors all week. Only 8 percernt free on memory.. Any help would be appreciated.

I cant remember where to find to preset and save settings say for a contour parameters and save them so they r set when you do a contour thanks

thanks guys

now if its not a on board I guess we still have to change out the video card

when I want to do a contour it shows up in the grahic area but has soon has I click to name the op it goes by by again

yes

I think this is the video card intel ® Q965/Q963 express chipset

changed the background color and still did not show trying to find video card data. where is it??? looked in device manager

running X5

called the MC dealer. They said it is the graphics card. any help would be appreciated

Called haas could be 1 week before I can get it fixed. Tech support says maybe chip caught in y axis switch. He said if i can blow it out with air it may work. Anyone know where the y switch is? Looks like I have to take 1 cover off. Damn thanks

I went to verify and inside there clicked on mcx file saved on desktop has stock file. clicked the green check mark and mastercam has been crashing every time.

After clicking the arrow next to solid it says select an entity?? don't get it

Its a part with geo like a pistol with cut outs. I save converted iges to level 10. stuck on defining it has stock at this point.

can I use a file say another iges converted into mastercam. i save an mcx into data folder then changed .mcx to stl no worky ;o(

Can anyone of u hot shots give me the quick rundown on making the stock look like your part. i don't have time to read and mess around. Plus I am mentally impaired ;o) I know I should know this after 100 years . But I never really thought about using it in verify. You know 1. do this - file or solid 2 do this 3 do this 4. ??? Thanks

I changed my check surfaces and it works okay. Seems like if you have to many check surfaces it don't work.

I set the surfaces to the same color. the tool keeps jumping up at the created surface area. It surface machines it but after the fact. I want a smooth surface machining. Using scallop I guess I could use a containment boundary and see it that works.

i use to use this all the time with 9 without a entry point. How do you start the cutter in the center without using a entry point.

figured it out

when selecting tools I noticed all my saved tools r gone. I did find what i think might be them in the tools folder. just gotta know how to point to the Saved tools when I press select tool. Is this done in config area. thanks
