How many machines do you program for?
The Chipmaker replied to Oakprogrammer's topic in Industrial Forum
I program for a 5 axis DMG, 2 Kuraki horizontal mills and 2 Mazak integrex's. I also control all tooling and outside vending. -

I almost spit my coffee out on this line! I just hit 60. Been using MC since 1989-1990 V3.1 I believe. GREAT THREAD!!

Tips on dynamic facing toolpath - single direction
The Chipmaker replied to ThickChips's topic in Industrial Forum
Why not use a peel mill operation? -
"Why do you do it that way? Isn't that old school?" I say it may be old school. but I know what works. Takes a little longer, but I can be relatively sure of the outcome.

Worked fine

Try the two ends first than the straight lines. Direction does matter. You must be using 2023 so I can't open your file. Hope this helps.

I am glad I learned the trade 35 years ago when there were old timers to keep you in line and getting told how to do it the right way! You can't find a competent person who wants to learn and work!

Engineers never make mistakes....they make revs!

Are their any downsides to Dynamic Milling?
The Chipmaker replied to monkeyman's topic in Industrial Forum
They remove more material faster, use more than the tip of the tool and they are less stressful on the spindle and the machine in general. USE THEM! -
I have different libraries based upon the materials. That is one way.

CHANGE START/STOP POINTS ON COUNTOUR AND OTHER TOOLPATHS
The Chipmaker replied to RustyG's topic in Industrial Forum
If you are using solid chians you canchange the starting position when you are selecting it. If you want to change anything with your solid chain pick the edit button and you have all the choices the wireframe does. If you are using wireframe to drive your chain you can go into chain manager and change what you want. -
I would rather not say. I don't want to seem like I am bashing anybody.

Does it usually take 5 months to get verification software? Bought it in October and we are still waiting for it. They say they are configuring our machine. Our machine is a DMG DMU 160 duoblock 5 axis.
