  1. Good luck let us know how it goes.
  2. Thanks Thad, Your right it is to bad. I guess with the way our region has been hit lately, most people are just concerned about keeping their job and/or finding a second part time job to make ends meet. Maybe something will start up from this forum. Dave
  3. Thanks Thad Yes I have been to those in the past. I was kind of referring to a group that meets more regularly and discusses ideas and machining stratigies. The Axsys meetings are more showing new functionality of the current release and to boost seat sales. Dave
  4. qoute: I attended a Mastercam User Group meeting in Janurary.. at the meeting they said X4 will be released in the 2nd quarter of 2009.. Off subject but I was just wondering if anyone had a user group going on in Michigan. Thanks
  5. JAYMAN, Go to settings -configuration - CAD settings down at the btm of the page uncheck the Display arc center points. hth
  6. Matt, That sounds like a sweet computer. I'm jealous. Maybe it is time for me to build a new one.
  7. John, Is your 5 ax a dual head, and how do you like the Osai controls. Dave
  8. We also are a woodworking facility. However we machine components for industrial packaging and shipping. We have Onsrud and Biesse routers. Been programing since V7. If I can help in anyway let me know. Thanks, Dave
  9. chipmagnet, I use Solidworks 2009 and I agree about the ease of use. The seat was reasonably priced compared to what you get. Nice software.
  10. Ployd, We have a couple of different routers at our shop and I have notice this before on our 3 axis Onsrud. I changed in the toolpath parameters from roll around all corners to none. This seem to help and I was able to hold the same feed rates. I don't know if this is the proper fix but it help me. Hope this helps Dave
  11. I had this same problem. I changed in the control def to "do not break linear motion" and it corrected the problem. hth
  12. We use this feature quite often with no problems. Maybe describe your toolpath in more detail or post it on the ftp and someone can help.
  13. We cut 3/4 ply everyday, but normally with a larger tool. However with a 1/4 non coated we can run 150-200IPM at 18000 rpms taking a full radial and axial cut.
  14. Usaully, you will want your blade to be adjusted to about a 1/8 above the material you are cutting. This will help with safety and will provide a cleaner cut. When the blade is adjusted higher than the full tooth of the blade above the material it sometimes will leave score marks or burn marks on the edge of the material. You also might want to use a 60 tooth blade. This will provide a better finish with plywood, especially with your cross cuts.
  15. This happens when you use undo while active in dimensioning.
