    Here we are 3 programmer and everything is shared from a single network drive, so everyone use the same files for Machines, posts and tools

    I can program a large inconel flange on a VTL in 5 minutes and it will take over 12 hours to cut Or I can take 3 hours to maximize the productivity on a 45 seconds cycle time on our multi axis lathes

    Anyway i always wait to SP1 to update MCAM and SW the first release are always full of bug
  4. Goldorak
    Thats why I stick to SW2018

    I use exclusively X+ for over 10 years i tried other but X+ is always better

    I have the same issue, i didn't took time to find exactly why but i suspect it's when i create a WCS "relative to" in the plane manager, it switch all the home position to negative values and verify use those value for tool change position

    or hit OK 52354862 times to get rid of the warning

    The option to control feed and RPM on the last cut are not available with dept cut, this is a big lack in mastercam What I usually do is use 3 different operations one to rough with a pocket toolpath (Opti-rough works like a charm in pockets) , finish floor with a pocket toolpath leaving a bit more stock than the rough on walls then finish wall with a contour toolpath

    Totally agree with you ! ive been able to program a cable drum in MCAM with a button insert using a bunch of G33 but the math + the chaining behind was a PITA to do
  10. Goldorak
    I think that Del's method is the best and also the cheaper
  11. Goldorak
    Hahahahaha, It is if you already have a CMM or 2 precision balls that fit in the groove and mesure the distance between with a stack of jo-block
  12. Goldorak
    CMM with a disc instead of a ball

    Few years ago we had a desktop install in the receiving just next to the welding department, due to grinder fine metals particle the computer caught fire by itself , the power supply fan was acting like a flame thrower We baught enclosure to prevent this in the future

    i have the same problem in MC2019, ive never found the cause of this....
  15. Goldorak
    create a single swept surface instead of selecting multiple surfaces Flowline can do some weird thing if you use more than 1 surface

    We cut a lot of 316 (nearly 50% of our production) A few weeks ago we test the SECO CNMG432-MF4 CP2500 with success, 350-400 SFM .012 IPR and .15 DOC was the sweet spot on our Okuma Crown unfortunately we never had any success with Kenna ISO turn inserts no matter the shape or the grade we have tested, surprisingly, they beat everyone in milling application for this material ... Iscar and Sumitomo makes pretty good inserts too for stainless but SECO can go a bit faster for approximately the same tool life ans price
  17. Goldorak
    your geometry is ok but for stainless you need the good insert with the appropriate coating and the speed and feed need to be on the spot tell us what you actually use to get some usable information

    Yes i watched Alaska Offroad Warriors on History, it was a good show since it's the kind of offroading i like , i'm not a big fan of mud drags and rock bouncer for the error, the Z line is smaller than your tool nose radius, mastercam can't link the wall and the radius correctly
  19. Goldorak
    This is a lot faster to do if you have problem with the step , simply change the VNMG431 for a CNMG431 NUT_GOLDORAK.mcam

    Mill or Lathe ? on a mill it's I and J on a lathe it's I and K and those values are in incremental
  21. Goldorak
    I previously post this on the forum For those who need to define a realistic counter-bore with a specific pilot, you can use a center-drill
  22. Goldorak
    1/8 or 3/16 variable helix end mill on a 2D contour with an osiliate move to get an even wear all along the flute length this should do the job easily
  23. Goldorak
    i Don't think it's possible unless it's for a C-axis operation on a lathe
  24. Goldorak
    Or Chinasium , it's cheaper
  25. Goldorak
    X1000000000000000000000000 You better use both programs side by side, at the end you will save time and money
