A pocket tool path should work, the oval would be the outside pocket boundry and the numbers the inside pocket boundries. (don't use stick numbers)

A picture is worth a 1,000 words

+1000 for section.dll

It's been a few years since I have used it but worked well.

Thanks, I'll check into it.

I called Hurco and the guy I need to talk to is on vacation. He won't be back in until monday.

Ying, Sorry that didn't help. Thanks for the reply.

The ladies in production made a big pot of chili for dinner. I might have to take a nap. Wish I could, maybe I didn't need the dessert. (apple crisp) I feel sorry for you guys that don't work with ladies around.

Lathe-Mill thanks for the reply, didn't solve the problem.

Try Screen/Next Menu/Regenerate

We have a Hurco VMX42 and have been using WS_FTP LE to transfer programs. Everything has worked fine until recently. We are suspecting the microsoft SP2 upgrade and their firewall. We tried shuting the firewall off and it still is hit or miss. Sometimes it works then it won't. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

installed..........looks good

Thanks for the quick reply

Go Green Bay and #4

Moto,

Been trying the hurcoisnc with some old jobs to test for problems and I get this.

I went back to the basicnc side and posted with the one I have been using and it ran fine.

The bright spot is the flash when I took the picture from the Hurco screen.

Maybe I'll just leave the ISNC side alone and stick with what I have, so far it has worked every time.

Becareful with your post

One more thing, when cutting steel, you will get a ton of little needles (small chips) in your hands if you are not careful.

I cut ribs into steel with small carbide cutters @ 10,0000 rpm's with a feed rate of 100 ipm and a depth of .0005 per pass with really good results. They also have draft on the sides. I have been cutting alot deeper than .040 deep. (.500-.750 deep) using this method.

Crank up the rpm's and feed and blow a good steam of air at it and go do something else.

Aluminum may do better with coolant.

Specprogrammer,

I'll try messing around with the swg 18 variable.

Thanks

We also have an older Hurco. We had the same problem with it several years ago. It's hard to remember the changes I made back then to solve the Z axis rad problem. I might try comparing the hurco original post to my current one. I think it was something about writing the code at every quadrant.

We also have a Haas, that is the post I originally tried with the ISNC side. I was hoping that post would work in both machines. That way someone could set-up either machines and use the same post, but it didn't work. So I dicided to stay with the hurco post and use the Hurco nc side. We were really busy and didn't have time to play with it.

Hope that all made sense

Moto GP,

I sent my E-mail address to you

Thanks

Moto GP,

We have a Hurco VMX42 with ISNC I have never gotten it work safely because of Z axis wild radiuses. I didn't know they had a hurcoisnc out there. If you would E-mail me it I would really appreciate it.
