probably NAFTA, but then, why mess with some thing that works really well, even if it doesn't like like UG or CATIA, aor some other stupid government stuff. heck, why can't they leave us regualr guys alone to work ?

that'll get a rise out of 'em....

hehehehehehehehehehe! geesh

V9 was the best, what happenned ? it's kind of like karate. the whole reason was to learn to kill someone with your bare hands. then came tae kwando. IT'S A FREAKIN' SPORT. not real .... kickin' someone's butt is not alowed. why did MCX get so "flowery". "it's like "WILL AND GRACE" or "BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN" .... geesh, HOLY CRAP !!!!!

i once took a 5mm cut (not on purpose) through the length of a kurt vice jaw (very hard) with an SGS 12mm ZCARB (almost 1/2") traveling at about 25 inches per minute, 3000rpm. i guess those are pretty good cutters for that ... these are metric feeds and speeds so you have to convert them if you are using english... they are also based on the SGS ZCARB tialn cutters 2.0mm ENDMILL 7800 780 3.0mm ENDMILL 9549 1146 4.0mm ZCARB 7950 1132 6.0mm ZCARB 6472 1294 8.0mm ZCARB 5053 1213 10.0mm ZCARB 4043 1294 12.0mm ZCARB 3369 1617 14.0mm ENDMILL 16.0mm ENDMILL 18.0mm endmill 2246 800 20.0mm ENDMILL 15.87mm ISCAR 3009 903 25.4mm ISCAR 1592 716 kaiser BORING HEAD 1200 125 6.35x45 7000 400 12x45 4000 400 1.0mm BALLNOSE HS 38000 1930 1.5mmBN LETT 7800 125 2.0 mmBALLNOSE 7800 800 3.0mm ballnose 7958 955 4.0 mmBALLNOSE 7800 1248 6.0mm BALLNOSE 6738 1617 8.0mm BALLNOSE 10.0mm BALLNOSE 4043 1312

i bought a spaceball off of ebay and it works god IF there is an old style serial port. my laptop does'nt have a real serial port, only USB ports and they don't recognize it when i added a serial to USB cord. someting about feedback from the spaceball not being able to happen. does anyone have any suggestions ?

okay, i give .... i got everything except extend... how do you simply extend and line ?

hey ya'll, my space ball is really jerky and slow with v9. it's just fine with X what is the problem with my settings ?

quote -------------------- IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT OVER --------------------- something i've started seeing come out of managers as oflate is this sentiment ... "DOING IT RIGHT IS NO EXCUSE FOR MISSING THE DEADLINE." ay rebuttle on this one ?

z level profile will, for on thing, "cut in between levels. you can actually cut a part with 2 operations instead of 4 or 5...

i sure like the NX operation "z level profile". i haven't been able to get MC do the same thing yet. MC is much easier to use for most stuff but 3d surfacing seems to not be as good as NX.

six sigma, the 5S system, why are all of these managers paying millions of dollars for all of this nonsense ? why don't they "just do it" ? instead what we get is a bunch of micro managing engineers who don't know what they are doing (due to NO experience) who look down their noses at us "ignorant buttheads" and run shops into the ground and then think they did something good. now that they have eliminated all of the their skilled labor, they can hire some minimum wage crack heads to run their machines... isn't that ironic ? one young Texas A&M mechanical engineer once told he could hire a whino off the street, train him for 2 weeks and have a perfectly good mold maker. imagine that. no small wonder manufacturing os going to india and mexico.

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the very people that do this for a living hold their trade with such regard that "a few classes at night" equates to the experience that a First Class Machinist has, it is no wonder why manufacturing in America is destined for outsourcing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- well put and already happening

___________________________________________ If they told you it would be like this in school, would you still have done it? ___________________________________________ the thing is, when i started this, it wasn't like it is now. a few more years, there won't be a middle class or blue collar as WE know it ... i'm goin to that liquer store... dernit

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...I have to assume that you are a machinist because if you were a toolmaker, you would know the difference... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- true. i was a moldmaker, now i machine "boat motor props". my pay scale has dropped by 5 or 6 bucks, etc. i don't really care so much anymore. one thing for sure, i will never build a mold for $16 an hour and the tooling world can kiss my grits...i'm tired now of getting beat up by texas a&m mud engineers who can't make it in their world so they come into mine and screw it all up.

what is the variable and line of code to make a "manual entry" operation output in a nc file ? i get all theo ther ops to work but that one...

they are/were more than that ... ________________________________________________ They knew metallurgy, physics, mathamatics, hydrolics, phnuematics, electrical,..."they were basiclly one up on the Engineers". from Murlin ___________________________________ most of the engineers i know these days have one thing in common... their idea about all this is "doing it right is no excuse for missing a dead line"... my opinion, well ya'll don't want to know anymore of my opinion. but i can name atleast one texas university ...

well, back in the day, moldmakers designed and built a complicated mold usually by himself, in about 10 to 14 weeks, and usually with no prints and MAYBE, a sample part. these days, industry wants it done in 5 or 6 weeks or less. that means us moldmakers need precision machinists AND button pushers to get the job done. not to mention, the designers and programmers. so we just have to learn to work together. BTW, i have seen the trade "moldmaker" actually fade away because of computerized machines. ironically, we made the molds for most computer parts. maybe ya'll should spend a little less time beatin' each other up.

with R9 and X, is there a way to lock a level so that it cannot be messed with accidentally ?
