  1. Has any taking multi axis traing at CNC Software? Would that be a better choice than the local reseller?
  2. I have noticed problems when You renumber only tools in one group and tools in that group are also used in another group.
  3. Using Solidworks and importing as surfaces, color remain as in Solidworks as long as the color is not the same as the current Mastercam background color. Make sure Mastercam is not applying attributes to not Mastercam files as they are imported.
  4. Does anyone have experience with this? http://www.thirdwavesys.com/
  5. If this helps, this is a small macro I use at the control on Fadals.

  6. I have had that happen at times. I just shut down Mastercam and make sure the temp folder is empty. And sometimes reboot.
  7. Does anyone know if training is availble for Active Reports? Local reseller does not have any.
  8. As long as the spindle orientates before that tap cycle, I just taps all holes once and then re tap at a new depth with no trouble. This even lets the operator clear the holes for the second time around.
  9. Create a line down the center of the slot. Use peel mill. rough offset 0, rounding radius .001 stepover .0005, set slot at center and width .128. This may get You what You are looking for.
  10. The software is here but not installed yet. raining shceduled for May 10th. I understand what Tim says but I still wonder if the Excange will benifit having not used the software yet.
  11. To those using Vericut, is there any benifit for Me to attend a Vericut User Exchange if I have not yet been exposed to using the software? Thanks for any input.
  12. Go to help at the top and then about Mastercam. Version 13 is X4
  13. Does any one have a 3" tooling vise model they can share?
  14. Has any one had experience with Work NC? Thoughts? Comments? Remarks? scscoi.com I was asked to review the web site.
  15. I have good starting parameters, what I am in need of is the trochidal parameters to avoid tool burial.
  16. 4140 PH Fraisa solid carbide 4-flute
  17. I have not used trochidal cutting in the HST Core Rough. Can some one recommend some starting parameters? Using a 3/4" dia. 1.125" doc.
  18. I have had that problem at times. I close Mastercam down and start up again and then I can print.
  19. I want to plunge mill a profile slot in 4140PH. I want to use a 3/4" dia cutter 2.1" deep. I could use some tool suggestions that will hold up well as there are chip clearing problems.
  20. We name by operations. Lets say a part has mulitple operations, part number 123. First operation 123A, second 123B, etc. If a fixture for the part needs to be made, F123A. I name the toolp[ath groups to match the NC. I also name the WCS the same as the toolpath group and NC. This seem to work here and anyone else who looks at the file can grasp it.
  21. I will be doing some small pocketing, .010" deep, two .005" passes, in 7075 aluminum. This is on a Roeders machine with a 36,000 rpm spindle. I will be using a .010" dia. Micro 100 2-flute endmill at max RPM. Any idea what feed rate I can get away with?
  22. This sound to Me like Your tool combinations/length are already pre determined. Is this the case? Not so here. Tooling is broke down and setup to and from holders many time a day.
  23. Did You check the memory buffering in config under toolpath?
  24. The shop here is fairly new to using a tool crib and presetting tools. I am wondering how others are operating. The next step here is to implement Vericut. I am thinking the programming would use Vericut to verify the toolpath and then the toolcrib would verify again when tools lengths and work offsets are set. Any input is appreciated.
