Have a Milltronics here about three years old. Recently a Koma rotary axis was added. Through MDI or by programming positioning can be down to .001 degrees. Problem I see here is that manual positioning can only be down to .003 degrees. Positioning cannot be done matching the screen resolution, the increments of the hand wheel are, .003, .005, .013, .025 etc. I am just wondering if anyone else sees this or is this common to Milltronics.

The insert cutters will not work in some of the applications as the insert tolerance is not close enough as the tool is also used to 3d profiles of .001". In other applications the tool needs to small enough for some pockets and to fit between islands.

I did do a search but must have used the wrong combination of words. Thanks for the reply.

Can anyone recommend a tool mfg that offers a solid carbide end mill with wiper type geometry? i am looking to try an reduces hand polish work on floors in 4140PH material.

Thanks. Got it now.

I have done this as You say and I save the profile as an mcx-9 file. I can create the custom tool within Mastercam fine. When I save the profile as a dxf and I try to create the custom tool in the stand alone Tool Manager, as onlyy dxf files are allowed Tool Manager says "Problem with custom geometry file or data". I wonder if the dxf requires different information?

The only stock being left is the corners that where the larger tool did not fit. I usually have the tolerance lose to jump the smaller gaps. Seems to me this is a bug kinda issue.

I was having trouble with the opti-rest operation not adding step downs where need because of remaining material. With the help of the reseller the problem was solved. I had the chain tolerance in the config set at .002". After changing the tolerance to .0001" the needed step down were added. Attached are the two back plots.

YG-1 has some also

I am having chatter trouble cutting some plastic. Simple square profile 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" 2.6 LOC. Currently using a general purpose 3/4" carbide 3 flute 3" flute length. this is the material http://www.nylacast.com/dynamic_files/nylacast_pom_c_tech_sheet1.pdf Anyone have some preferred tools that work well?

Thanks for the input.

Can any one provide feed back, good or bad, on this product? http://hsmadvisor.com/

For the Iscar tool You use the speed/feed specs from the Iscar book for the given tool. Then You select the HEM check box and change the SFPM and chip load on the tool page of the operation parameters.

I see now that if I have the fixture on a visible level, I will show as the work piece on the visibility tab. This will work for now. Thank for the input.

Have one Lange vise here. Any one try it with cast iron? I am afraid the cast will be too brittle and will break out where the teeth grip.

How do I define a fixture to be used in X7 verify?

CNC zone had added a classified section.

We have a similar sub plate but a little smaller in size. Have no trouble with. The difference is is made with 7075 aluminum.

I would use what Garr recommends and the use a calculator to adjust for chip thinning. Dapra has some for different tool and You can download Yourself. http://dapra.com/tech/calculators.htm

Using Speroni here. I like it because there is less chance of tranpossing numbers. Just let the pre setter write the offset program for the machine.

I change the retract value to .01" when drill vent holes then back to .035" on others. I use the G10 command to change the parameter. That make it easy to change back and forth in the program using the manual entry.
