  1. Thanks Ron your the greatest.....
  2. Ron, Is this something that I could load file in the note dialog box. It would be all the standard GD&T Fonts. So it sounds like it would help. If I can figure out how to use it...... Thanks Seth
  3. I'm just starting to use symbols for my mastercam drawn prints. Although I don’t see allot of symbols that I need in the menu is there a way to get more, or am I just doing something wrong...... Thanks
  4. Thanks guys I've tried them all,I still have to try running the spindle in reverse and see what happens. Thanks for all the advice.
  5. No luck about the same results. I'll Try p2 in the mourning.....
  6. Ok I'll give the p4 a try with a spindle speed of 300. Thanks guys well know shortly.....
  7. In the book it just calls a p1 through p4 p1 being single edge cutting, cutting amount constant. p2 double edge cutting, cutting amount constant p3 singe edge cutting, cutting depth constant p4 double edge cutting, cutting depth constant... Is his what you are referring to?
  8. I'm not sure I'm following the p010030 address. Here's a sample of my code. % O00000 (1004106-C) (DATE - 09-10-09-14:19) (START TOOL LIST) ( T4 THREADING TOOL ) (END TOOL LIST) (T4) (THREADING TOOL) N100 G0 G40 G20 N110 G00 G129 X0 Z0 T0 N120 T0404 N130 /M8 N140 G97 S350 M03 N150 G00 G54 X3.2 Z33.0545 N160 G76 X2.7955 Z-.15 I0. K.1022 D.004 A29 F0.1667 N170 M9 N180 G97 S100 N190 G00 G129 X0 Z0 T0 N200 M30 %
  9. The Chatter does improve towards the chuck, and as I stated earlyer it does only seem to chatter on the last couple passes. I'll try slowing it down. I'll have to check on the shims I purchased the holder and inserts specifically for this job. Its a Vardex I'll have to check the specifics. I might be able to take the center alittle bit deeper, but not much. Thanks for the help, Keepem comming....
  10. The Material is 1018CD. The insert looks good. I'm kinda wondering if its the free passes. Maybe it likes the preasure. What would you run it at speed wise I'm will to try almost anything at this point...
  11. I'm trying to thread a piece 35" long. Everything is great until the last 4 passes then the chatter starts. I'm using a Haas sl30 with the big bore and long bed option. The journal on one end in the spindle and the other in a live center. My settings are as follows. Spindle speed 450 Cut equal amount Amount of first cut .004 2 spring passes Thanks in advance.
  12. Wow, It would take me all day just to dream up parts that I could run.......Very Cool..
  13. Ok so I did a little research and I guess the census is never use mirrored toolpath.
  14. Ok I just wanted to make a left hand of a part I'm Working on. So after completing the 1st part I tried to transform tool path mirror about the y using coordinate as the method. The mirror view is check with top and I also checked Reverse Tool path. Everything looks good at first glance, but then I noticed that the circle mill paths were going to the bottom of the bore 1st and working there way up instead of down. Ouch on my sandvik m390 roughing cutter. Is this a known Problem or is there something I'm doing wrong..... I'm Using X4 Thanks Seth
  15. Wow I should have never read this post. I didnt have a problem with this intel I read this post. Now everytime I import somthing it wants to add another tool when I'm already using one in earlyer opps......The only thing I noticed is the 1st time I creat a program everything is as it should be. When I open and old file and try to import more ops. Bingo Bango problem again.......
  16. Sorry I'm out of the Loop what does optimize tool path do?
  17. I'm with Thad on this one. I never heard of it either......
  18. Thanks again Thad I'll give it a try.
  19. Oh, can you show me a sample of how it looks hard coded. Thanks Seth
  20. Thanks Thad I'll probly hard code it as you've done. I've seen outputs like that before it seem to work fine. Thanks again.
  21. I would like to add g8 to any milling operations to my Fadal Format 1 post. I'm Currenly running X4. Is there an easy way to edit my post to acomplish this. thanks Seth
  22. Is this file on the ftp..
  23. Wait, Michigan Sucks. Were we talking the state or the football program....Oh wait they do both suck as of late....Nevermind..................
  24. I cut chips all day on my sl30. No problems so far. We've had it for about 2 years now. Only time will tell.
