It's been awhile but I ran a Bridgeport Romi with EZ-path, I know it was pretty straightforward g-code help. I'lls see if I can find anything on it

Didn't Hardmill put up a video running inconnel at 3000 sfm using ceramic inserts?

Thanks 3rd String.

Rob

I mean updated.

How would you reregister appropriate DDL. I'm having the exact same problem as Mowens, my hasp is undated.

Thanks for the help

Rob

I've had the same problem with the Fanuc doing surface-rough-pocket, it's like the arc goes the long way around. In the filter turn off create arcs in xy. Sense doing this I haven't had any problems with the arcs going the wrong way.

Rob

Thanks for the quick reply John. It working now.

Every once in a while X will not let me post multiple tool paths. All morning I've been doing simulars file, then all of a sudden I get one that won't let me post the whole program. I'm useing X mr1. I've been useing the same post for all the files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rob

I'm having the same problem, the cycle times in X are much shorter,(unbelieveably short),than in Ver 9.

Rob

There's a couple on cad cam's ftp but I can't recall where.

rob

Thanks for the input, The parts I've finished I used scallop on the top and contour on the lower part, it seems as if fewer z moves I make the better. I think I will try the finish blend as Murlin and Cadlist suggested.

Thanks again for all the input

I cut a lot of surfaces on Komo Routers, 1/2 ball, 3/4 ball, 13,000 rpm 250ipm, .010 to .012 step. my surfaces are normally swept, coons or from solids, and usually good results, but this loft surface came out really ugly. Next time I'm using a different Machine, I really believe that is where my problem is, but I thought I would ask the gurus just to make sure.

Thanks again for all the help.

Rob

I'm using scalop, 1/2 ball with .008 stepover in 6061 alum.. I'm thinking it's a machine problem, I just didn't know if surface type had anything to do with it. The part is a light sconce for an aircraft, a very odd shape and the loft surface seems to look the best.

thanks for the quick reply

rob

Dear Forum,

Is there any difference between finish machining of surfaces. I am machining a loft surface thats coming out a little rough, I was wondering if it might be because of the surface type. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

Several times I've converted a lathes into a mill, but never the other way around, but I know of people that have done it with good results.

rob

Several of us got that e-mail this moring addressed to fain.com Maybe just cut off their fingers, They would certainly think about it next time.

rob

The first Lathe I ran at my first job was a Niles built in 1890, It had a 42in face plate, a monster machine, The dails had no increments, it orginally bored cylinders for steam engines. The oldest nc was a 1957 Monarch Mono matic that had a mind its own, we could take a 1/4 inch per side cutting 4041 no sweat except when you hit by a chip.

Rob@fain

Millman,

I can't be of much help except to let you know your're not alone, I had the exact same thing happen yesterday with a rough pocket. I will be watching for the answer.

Rob

We malamen to make our router tables and then replace once they get trashed. Do you use vaccuum table. We do a lot of thin alumium with good results on our vaccuum tables.

rob

I have this problem also, but I believe it has to do with our firewall.

Try to convert useing parasolid then on the pulldown menu pick .SLDPRT it always works for me.
