is it oxy free copper we machine that all the time it is way soft and wears out HSS cutters quick... we have had alot of luck with valenites 590 series mills......

yes the water in the X jacuzzi is nice isnt it.

How about model maker...? my coworker here at the lab is cassified as a model maker

sweet looking lap top... about how much did it cost ya....

Works for me..

me personally i have found mr1 alot faster on my slow laptop, and i havent had a crash since i installed mr1....

I have had MR1 crash on me, only when i try to do an open pocket tool path. I always save my mcx files to my hard drive and my usb drive, just in case.

cool thanks........

depth cuts you can tell mc your max depth of cut, as for the helical entry you can tell it pretty much any distance you want that is what is so great about mc you can tell it to do whatever you want it to do. the help files are very good at explaining what each option does as well, i have learned many things from them....

Oi! mastercam freeware, what do you think this is bobcad LOL........

Oi! is my cat there to she ran away

I cheat, like we got some valenite 590 face mills i just modified the face mill tool file and saved it with a new name...

so i am not the only one, i thought i was doing something wrong in the level manager....

Sweet, no more rotate for me... learn something new everyday.....

Yes, Depending on the shape of the pocket, if it is a round pocket i use true spiral, if it is a rectangular or sqaure pocket i use constant overlap spiral.... just try some of them out verify should should show if any stock is left or not.

What kind of parts do you plan on making?
