have to think ahead sometimes

I have found that by moving the model to the world coordinate I have very little problems and having my Y,Z axis at center of rotation of the 4th axis

Thanks Crazy Millman There has to be a formual for this, that was what i was trying to find.I'm building this fixture and a drill fixture so the part never has to touch a CNC mill just form the extrusion put it in the trim and drill fixtures and the part is done. In the past we have to run it on a 5 axis machine and there were 3 setup which took us a long time to setup because the part is 84 inches long.Was just thinking how did the old timers do it with out computers. Thanks again Chris

Hey Berniet Just tryied what you suggested but it won't work for what I want. I put a mastercam file in cadcam's ftp site it's in mcx mr2 directory and file name is trim fixture.mcx What I'm trying to do is step up a straight angle grinder with a 4 inch saw blade it will be mounted on a plate and use it like a chop saw and it will pivots off one point and be able to cut both cuts at the EOP this one has two pivot point that can make both cuts with only one setup. Take a look to see what i'm tryng to accomplish Thanks Chris

I am drawing it up in mastercam solids. I found a pivot point so I can make both cuts but I had to do it by trial and error. I was hoping someone new the formula so I could just figure it out with out having to moving my pivot point to get the right cuts at both station. Thanks anyway

Hi I need a little help here I'm designing a trim fixture for our sheet metal Department and I want to make two cuts in one setup? Meaning make a cut at a set angle rotate the tool and make the 2nd cut. So I need to find a pivot point so I can do this, does any one know the formula to accomplish this. Thanks Chris
