Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced verification package?

Hi Rick, Not sure I just ordered(post ref cd) basically on the advice I received from the forum. Basically speaking I don't really care if there is a charge-but realistically there should not be if we are paying maintenance.

$50.00 + shipping

So why do we have to pay for it if we pay maintenance. Surely it should be included as part of maintenance-after all the reason we purchase the system is to generate good code-which obviously requires tweaking the post-and to do this we need the referance guide

What controller are you using? I know on the HAAS it will take either E or F on this cycle.

Kevin, I constructed a new containment boundary-works fine.

Whats the file name?

Does anyone know when X2 MR2 is being released?

Nice One Roger. Worked fine.

Hi Eraiis. I had the same issues.But you could use the High Speed(Waterline) toolpath. Just create a surface between the two circles. Then select the high speed toolpath. Use the top and bottom circles as your boundaries.

Inverse Time Feed Mode (G93) This VMC/HMC feature specifies that all F (feedrate) values are to be interpreted as “strokes per minute.” This is equivalent to saying that the F code value, when DIVIDED INTO 60, is the number of seconds that the motion should take to complete. G93 is generally used in 5-axis work, and sometimes in 4-axis work as well. It’s a way of translating the linear (inches/min) feedrate assigned to the program – F30, say – into a value that takes rotary motion into account. When G93 is activated, the F value will tell you how many times per minute the stroke (tool move) can be repeated, based on the linear F value.

I just spoke to me reseller and apparently there is also a training CD for Posts. Thanks for all the help everyone

Would learning a programming language like C be helpfull? Is that the language used for Mastercam?

Thanks John, I did not know they offered a post class. I will call my reseller and sign up.

I would like to eventually learn how to create/edit posts. Can anyone suggest where I should start. What programming languages I need to learn etc. Thanks.

I am using circle mill to cut a bore with depth cuths on. I was wondering is there a way (in circle mill) to put a dwell on my last pass at the bottom of the hole

I am not sure which toolpath you are using,but it looks like either circle mill or helix bore. Spade117 is correct,try changing your Entry/exit arc sweep to less than 180. this will give you a line lead in.
