Has anyone tried sweat fit holders? They worked well for me.

Hi Crazy Millman, I helped in the development the Hard Turning, Boring and Facing of gears back in the mid 80's for Mercury Marine. At that time we use ceramic tooling and a pin plate with jaws to hold the gears on the lathe. The savings were astronomical over grinding. We used cubic boron nitrides (CBN) inserts to face off the teeth of the gears. At that time the cost of (CBN) tooling was very expensive. So we only used (CBN) for interrupted cutting and over welded steel and stainless steel. From the looks of the article things have really changed. I enjoyed reading the article it was very good. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I did hard turning when it first came out what kind of info. are you looking for?

John, 6 min 5 sec, not bad fofr a desktop with Vista 64 bit.

Thanks John, I just built a new computer and want to see how fast it is.

Can someone pleae tellme the name of the sample file to run to test the speed of my PC and where to entry my results?

Check min and max spindle speed in your post and make sure they aren't set to 0. I looked a long time before some one told me about that

Hi Guys, has anyone had a problem with mpmaster post outputting S0 for spindle speed? If so how do you fix it? Thank you,

A raid 10 is 4 hard drive. A raid 10 is used on servers you can remove one drive and not lose any data. Two are a raid 1 and two are a raid 0. I have lost to many hard drive in a raid 1. When you lose a drive all your data went to buffer heaven. With a raid 10 you will not lose your data. The only thing is it can verry costly if you want to use 10000 RPM os SCSI drives. I use SATA 3 7200 RPM drives. Tey are about $60 a drive.

Thanks John, I was looking at the QX9750 CPU, 4 gig of ram, raid 10, Abit IP35 Pro MB, and a Gforce 8800 GTS video card with 640 mb ram. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit, E6600 CPU with 2 gig of ram, raid 10, Asus P5B Deluxe MB and Gforce 8800 GTS video card with 640 mb ram. This system runs flawlessly. But I would like to take advantage of 4 gigs of ram. A 32 bit OS will only see 3 gig of ram that is why I asked about the 64 bit OS.

Can anyone help me out? I want to build a PC that will be used for MastercamX2 Mr2. My problem is I don’t know what type of CPU to get Quad EE or Core 2 Duo. A Quad EE with 1333 FSB appeals to me. Memory is another issue DDR2 800 or 1067. Windows Vista or XP, 32 or 64 bit OS? I don’t want to spend a small fortune for something that will save me only 2 minutes on a big file. Last does Mastercam run on a true 64 bit platform or is it dropped back to a 32 bit platform? Thank you, in advance for your help.
