I just found this video on how to drag and drop operations!!!!
https://cimquest-inc.com/dragndrop-operations-import-mastercam-2017/
Now I'm going to try it!!!!
I had this problem yesterday when exporting/importing. The exporting part has 3 drills 5/16" diameter. One is a carbide stub drill, one is a carbide 25X drill, and one is a HSS 25X drill.
When I imported all 3 tool paths had the stub drill. As you can see from the attached .jpg's all the drills had different tool numbers/names in the exporting file, but changed in the importing file to (tool 4 stub drill). WTH??
I agree. Where can you get balls in different sizes? (I would need one between .118"-.139"). Groove depth/width control what size. I also have parts with other dimensions.
We're looking into this. We've not been able to see a price yet. (I'm the operator/programmer, so I don't have to trust anyone else.)
^^Don't have one.^^
So, when I send a part out the door to a customer, I don't like it coming back, because I didn't / couldn't measure it. I think tool pressure is also something to consider....Just saying..
Welcome to the Forum!! And thanks for your replies!!
Are you familiar with lathe programming? I'm using a grooving tool for cutting the groove, and a boring bar for the bore. A grooving tool is not designed for boring. IMHO.
^^^^AND THIS^^^^
I've been getting parts lately that have inside grooves with somewhat tight tolerances. What measuring device do you recommend for this? I'm looking for something with the
broadest range, somewhere around, 1"-2.5" (interchangeable tips maybe), at an ECONOMICAL PRICE , and easy to use.
What does your shop use? What brand, etc.
