The dumbest thing I have ever seen in a mastercam post
jeff replied to pro grammer's topic in Industrial Forum
ITT: My way is the only way things should be. I want the world to do everything the way I want it. No other program should be formatted differently than mine. I'm the best. -
the nozzle at the bottom is what I want to remove. for interference purposes.
-
I want to make a small edit on one of my machine's Z axis and remove a coolant nozzle. How would I go about doing that? I don't know how to change the STL model.

Then write your own post. -
What do you mean "running the tool paths"? backplot? verify? simulation? Also what are your computer specs?
-
Could you use Optirough for this part?
-
Ahh, I didn't think about that.
-
No, there is a toolpath called Deburr. And it's made for ballnose end mills. I think it's new to Mastercam 2020, although it may have been in 2019 I'm not certain. yep, it was in 2019:
-
Have you tried the deburr toolpath with a small ballnose? That works really well but obviously it can't get everything. As for those types of tools, I've never tried them on steel unless it was in a dremel style tool. So in theory they should work.
-
They will make you a custom tool to the size you need.
-
The machine simulation has much better control over speed than verify. I've found verify to be spotty... meaning if I am just verifying 1 toolpath,it is hitchy and seems to be dog slow. But if I have 4 more toolpaths after that one, then it's "normal" speed. Also restarting Mastercam seems to help at times.

Don't you have to hit "Change Side" also?
-
I would either put that note on a separate level, or highlight the solid model and hit ALT+E to have just the solid showing and see if your computer works fine after that.

Wondering why the post processor adds this
jeff replied to k_lav's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
You could just upload that section of your post. -
Is the material abrasive?
-
Never cut the stuff, but are you looking for diamond tooling? If so, Sandvik Century face mills are very good (their RA590 series). Can run it with carbide also. This face mill has the feature where you can adjust each individual insert height. A tad pricey though but definitely worth it, we easily get a micro finish of <5 in 6061 without even trying.
-
I've seen this too many times to count, even in v2020. The only fix that I've seen is either uncheck Retract or make Retract the same height as Clearance.
-
Also, I believe your post needs to be able to support Dynamic Work Offsets as well.
-
That's odd, I've never been charged for having them alter a post, from the basic free ones to my 5 axis post.
-
I get the same in 2020, but I always use slice. In 2021 the default is curves and lines, but there is a checkbox that says "Join curves into one entity" and that creates a spline. Just an FYI.
-
I wonder if that could be a simple post edit. Can you give an example of the extra point that it adds?
-
I'm out of ideas, sorry.
-
Look in your config, under Files. Is this box checked?
