I will be there Wed to Sat. See you guys soon.

Thank you guys.

Guys, I am having a problem with 1/4-20 thread mill (.47 depth) on 304SST. Tool use is Scientific TM170-20HA with 9 active teeth. Please help. First tried: S3400 F10. 5 rgh passes (.005 per pass) 2 finish pass, step over .001 1 spring pass Tool broke at the first hole Second tried: S1400 F2. 7 rg passes (.003 per pass) 2 finish passes 1 spring pass Tool broke at the thrid hole. Down to the last tool now. What could be wrong here and what esle could i try?? Any input will be a big help. Thanks.

Thank you Sir, Got it working now.

Any one noticed that the lead in/ lead out did not work on circle mill?? Or only me??

+1 "There will be a setting where you set the diameter of the part you are machining" Try: Setting, General, setting 34 and look for "4th Axis Diameter" HTH

Thanks for the input. I know, it is kind of conservative but i just dont want to scrap the 1st one. I will let you know the result when this job hit the floor.

Good afternoon Guys, Did any body try to dynamic milling on Copper?? What is good starting point for 3/4 EM 2flutes and i need to reach down 2.98" depth. I am thinking about: 8500 rpm 100 ipm .075" step over 1" step down .02 stock .025 toolpath radius. Thanks in advance.

What kind of control? Matrix or fusion?? I have a pdf book. send me a email if you want it.

Yes, I had it set at 2:1 and the total tolerance .005

Good morning all, I am in the process to implement the Dynamic milling for this machine and things worked out just fine (better cycle time and tool life). But there is 01 thing is botherd me is the choppy finish on this toolpath. I usually have to leave about .03 to .035" for my finish tool. I wonder, this is nornal or I am missing something. I am using G61.1,K70 for all roughing pass. What esle am I missing. Any input will be a big help. Thanks in advance.

I think, you need to go in your machine MD/CD and change the rotation from CCW(or CW) to CW(or CCW). HTH

This posted a while back ago. My link

I never have to worry about this because I am using H#3020 (For Variaxis) and H#51999 (For all mazak machine) HTH

Hi there, if you are using mpmaster, it is a option in the post.

Never mind! I got it to work. Thanks for looking.

I am really sorry ( this is what happen when i try to manually edit my code which i am doing in my shop right now!!!) Yes, there are two separate probe cycle used and It should be read: Code ------------------------- (PROBE Z) N41 (6MM PROBE) G0 G17 G40 G80 G90 T41 G0 G28 G91 Z0 G90 M06 (MAX - Z3.)

Good morning all, I am working on Custom drill cycle for Probe (use Mpmaster for base). This is what i get so far and i need help to get it right.

Thanks.

"it has been logged as a bug for X style coolant" Thansk for the info. I think, i have to turn the display off and live with it for a while.

Good morning guys, I wonder, if any one notice this or only me. How come my Operation Manager always indicated that the coolant was off? Tinhman

Well, the best way is to call your reseller. But if you want to give it a try, here is a couple thing you can do. I dont have V9 any more in my computer, so i will try my best. First of, BACK UP you post then try to locate this section in your post # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # FORMULAS - global formulas # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- toolcountn = toolcount + 1 # Index! toolcountp = toolcount - 1 # Index! tloffno_roger1 = tloffno + 5000 tloffno_roger2 = tloffno + 20 # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- then find this section: # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Toolchange / NC output Variable Formats # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- fmt T 4 t #Tool No fmt T 4 first_tool #First Tool Used fmt T 4 next_tool #Next Tool Used fmt D 4 tloffno #Diameter Offset No fmt D 4 tloffno_roger2 #Diameter Offset No + 20 fmt H 4 tlngno #Length Offset No fmt G 4 g_wcs #WCS G address fmt P 4 p_wcs #WCS P address fmt S 4 speed #Spindle Speed fmt M 4 gear #Gear range # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- then find this section: # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Tool Comment / Manual Entry Section # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ptoolcomment #Comment for tool tnote = t toffnote = tloffno_roger1 toffnote = tloffno_roger2 tlngnote = tlngno tldianote = tldia "(", pstrtool, *tnote, *toffnote, *tlngnote, *tldianote, ")", e pstrtool #Comment for tool if strtool <> sblank, . . . then find this section: # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Motion output components # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- pbld #Canned text - block delete if bld, '/' pfbld #Force - block delete "/" pccdia #Cutter Compensation #Force Dxx# if prv_cc_pos <> cc_pos & cc_pos, prv_tloffno_roger2 = c9k sccomp if cc_pos, tloffno_roger2 pfxout #Force X axis output if absinc = zero, *xabs, !xinc else, *xinc, !xabs . . . You should get it going somewhere. Good Luck.

No, you are on the wrong spot. it is located just right under pheader$ section. -------------------------------------- if seqno$ = 0, omitseq$ = yes$ sav_progno = progno$ if tseqno = 1 & omitseq$ = 1, [ seqno$ = 1 seqinc$ = 1 n$ = seqno$ ] #sav_rot_on_x = 0 header = 0 ptoolend$ #End of tool path, before reading new tool data !speed, !spdir2 . . . ---------------------------------------------- HTH

Try this. find this line: sav_rot_on_x = 0 and put a # sign in font of it: #sav_rot_on_x = 0 HTH

With steel, i always use G82 NOT G81 for my spotting drill. HTH
