Dude. When you bash the people that are just having problems with the software
That's not what happens, people that are just having problems with the software get help.
People like you who decide to go off and rage about an issue and proclaim that you're better than the developers get no help.
See the difference?
Just look at your very own thread and replies.

Spoken like a true American. I'm sorry, why don't you have any freedom anymore? LOL
Uhhh, I don't know what rock you're living under but it's time to move.
I'm still free as a bird.

There could be 1,000 different things you're trying to do here. How about you help us out a little bit so we can actually answer your question?

P20 is used extensibly in mold making, perhaps Jeff is making mold parts
Yes these parts are for a mold company. Just a small run of 1pc parts.

I will put in a recommendation here for the FS Wizard App.
I know the app well, I've been using it for years.
I just wanted to get some input that is different from plain ole numbers.

I believe it's going to be soft.
Thank you for the info!

I've never touched this material before and have a few pcs to machine on my Genos. I've been cutting 4150pht,4142pht,A2,1060 etc.. my entire life so how does P20 compare?
Is it abrasive? Does it work harden? Run it like A2?
Any input appreciated, thanks.

That font you can't change within Mastercam, trust me if it were possible I would have done it years ago.

Clicked the link and signed in...it says $200 on Newegg. Maybe prices vary?
Wow, must have been a sale or something. Now it's $211.

For someone that is basically all self-taught (aside from the massive help on here) the Auto-tilt video helped me out a lot.

I've found a few entry level cards on NewEgg and Amazon. 2Gb for $75-100, 4Gb for around $175...
Any constructive thoughts
For the work you're doing it sounds like this card would be perfect. $150 on Newegg.

How about here in North America we declare imperial standard obsolete, and we stop using it, because the majority of people on this planet use a better and more simple system called metric.
What does it matter when it's all in the form of a decimal number anyway.
IMPERIAL RULES! Metric drools!

first time creating a metric thread with a multi flute thread mill, help...
should I put in english dimensions for the cutter?
should I put english numbers in the cut parameters?
am I overthinking this?
Yes you are overthinking.
Just convert everything to a 3 or 4 place decimal and you'll be fine.

I just put an MSI NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 TI w/ 4GB in my kid's gaming rig.
That's possibly one of the best cards dollar to performance value that has ever been made when it comes to gaming. It's a great card.

How large are the assembly files that you have open? This could have a serious impact on performance.
Also as said above, how much RAM, and is it fast RAM?
I would get the best Quadro card that they will buy. P4000 would be the minimum, I have one and even that won't handle large assemblies all too well when rotating the screen.

No sorry I can't share. One off part that we had no time to buy the proper face grooving tool.
That's too bad, I'm always interested in stuff I don't regularly do.

That must be one hell of a groove if it has a 1 hour run time! Can you share a picture?

1105 is their "generic grade". It is going to wear quickly more quickly.
I much prefer their 1125 grade. It is superior for "harder materials", but the 1115 grade is also good.
It could be the 1125 grade, (I'm a mill guy). I was relaying information to our lathe operators.

Thanks guys, we're going to use Sandvik grade 1105? and start around 175SFPM.
Oh and these get knurled too. That should be fun.

Yes.. I ruined a very nice laptop that way.
Coolant came on unexpectantly and was hitting me in the chest.
I stepped out of the way, shut the coolant off and turned to see my laptop.
The keys were little islands in a lake of coolant.
I pulled the power, shut it down, drained it and let it dry for a week.
It ran for a couple of days, long enough to back it up, but then it made a little pop
and let all the smoke out... and that was the end of that
At my old shop we had a newbie operator on our mill. And at the end of the shift we would use a small garden style hose attached to the coolant to hose down the inside of the machine.
Well he was doing this and it came off the connection and started shooting coolant all over the place. He panicked and used his body as a shield so it wouldn't go onto the floor until someone ran over and hit the Coolant Off button lol.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen in a shop.

I just saw the print, and it's just a turning job, some pins that are 4-5" long and have a journal the majority of the length with a #8-32 thread at the end.
Stock size is 1-1/4" dia or so

We have some parts to turn and maybe mill out of this stuff. Any tips for general turning and milling/drilling?

In flowline if you use One Way you will get arcs if your filter is set for it. If you use Spiral you won't get arcs.
