We have a Femco BMC-110 boring here and we are noticing that the spindle seems to be growing. We have been doing some tests on it this morning and the spindle grew .007 in the first 15 minutes running @2000 rpm, after the first 15 minute run it seems to be growing about .0015 for every 15 minute run,we let the machine set idle for about 10 minutes and the spindle shrank .002. Has anybody had this problem with a Femco mill or any other mill ? Any help would be apprecitated

Stephen, We have an olllllldddddd Ez-Trak mill 2 axis and we got our mastercam dealer to create us a post. The Ez-trak control is very funny on how it handles "Z" moves in the program. As far as alpha, you don't use it for program numbers on our machine. Below is what our machine code looks like.

Does anybody here know anything about machining 9ni-4co, any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a Fryer Lathe with a touch 2000 control? If so do you have it hooked up to a RS-232 connection? If so can you give me some help?

Thanks I'll try it as undefined.

I,m trying to draw a custom tool up(step drill), and I need to be able to backplot and verify with it. I drew half the tool up on a seperate level then used the custom level option in the tool parameter page , but when I backplot the tool it does not match the dimensions that it was drawn to. Smallest dia. should be .224 and it measures .042 instead. Running X3,what am I doing wrong. Thanks in advance

Thanks, knew it had to be something simple

We have 2 seats of Mastercam X3 here, and we are having trouble using the fast point option on one computert, when entering x,y,z values we have to click the fast point icon for each set of numbers, the other seat you can enter x,y,z values and hit enter then go right on to the next set of values . I'm sure it is something we have set wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks ,that worked just fine.

Does anybody have a mc file of the outline of ohio,that they would share.If so please e-mail it to me at anthony.pitzer@abxair. Thanks in advance

What has happend to the Cimco DNC communication icon? I have it save under the file toolbar state fo my communicator and I am using Cimco DNC to communicate. But I get an set-up window to set up a michine and when I type in the new machine name it give me an error. If I go though the Cimco editor and hit transmit it works fine.

Been there done that still doesn't stick!

Anyone having trouble getting assign tool number sequentially to stick as a default?
