recently at the end of each line I get this " € " symbol. I have my NC output setup to output a " * " which is ascii 42. I have no clue where its picking up this €.

quote: I'd get that taken care of first Then only time I'm not sure of my post is when I'm doing something out of the ordinary. Like rectracting over an obstacle then starting at different top of stock, things like that. When my code isn't correct sometimes, I'm not sure if its a post issue or if its the way I programmer the operation in MC.

for some reason I'm unable to feel confident in setting up of my drilling cycles. If I have different depths, jumping clamps with different retract heights etc. I'm always double checking my code and watching the machine with my hand on the switch because I'm not quite sure of myself. Is there some where that I can look at examples of code and or MC drilling set-up for different situations? What I need is an idiots guide to drilling.

I use a switch box off of com port 1. I looked at the port settings and they are the same as old pc??? BTW; the machine I'm unable to send to is a Mits. FX10k wire edm

I recently started using a new PC. I have 4 machines that I program with this system. Since I made the switch I am not able to send to just one of them. the other three work fine. I checked all my DNC settings, compared them to the setting on the old system an all are the same. Ive tried using cimco5 and MCeditor with the same results. I also hooked my old PC back up and sent with that just fine. I'm running out of options.

I use a pile of broken, burnt, dull tooling as my reference of "not to do that again speeds and feeds"

Now draw a horizonal line from origin thru your part. Use break at intersections. This separates your chains so you can delete the unwanted half.

I'm programming Hardinge t42 with a Fanuc 18T. The post I regularly use doesn't support milling but I've been play with Mplmaster.I'm not have a lot of success but with my lack of knowledge on toolpath creation in MC my troubleshooting skills on the post are limited. BTW I'm using X2

here I sit with 8 years of MC under my belt, and I never learned how to use MC for C axis milling with my lathe. I've type it in by hand. I never got a post to output what I need in these operations nor have I learn the methods in MC on creating this type of toolpath. What do I need to get start in my learning process? Anyone have some good samples for me look at? Any help would appreciated...

I've tried many different combinations, but can't get what I'm looking for. G00 G90 G54 X-.99 Y-.212 S458 M03 Z.1 M08 G98 G83 Z-3.5 R-2.4 Q.125 F3. with this the drill stays down in the hole. G00 G90 G54 X-.99 Y-.212 S458 M03 Z-2.4 M08 G98 G83 Z-2.875 R.1 Q.125 F3. With this the drill feed down to 2.4 does 1st peck retracts to top of part then start pecking again from top of part. I've done this before, I'm just extra stupid this morning

when doing deep drilled holes using a short drills than a longer drills to finish depth whats the best code to have your second drill feed down to first drill depth then rapid out of the hole on retacts between pecks. also is there a way to have MC out put this code. FYI, running Fanuc 18I

I'm cutting a staight contour

since updating to X2mr1, when ever I post out a program I get this error in my posted file "DIRECT WIRE PATH NOT SUPPORTED". I'm sure its a switch I need to turn off in MC but I can't locate it.

I only get one listing in the "recent folders" drop down menu. What settings need to be changed?

I lowered my feed to .001IPR, pecking .025 with 2800 rpms. working good so far. Thanks

I'm drilling a .125 od rod with a #46 .081 id 3 inches deep on my CNC lathe with a 4000 RPM max spindle. The material is O1 tool steel. I'm use 2 drills, drilling 1.25 deep first then finishing with a long drill. my problem is I keep breaking drills. I'm running it 2000 RPM with a chipload of .005. I'm taking .005 pecks with last drill. Any suggestions?? Speeds & feeds? Maybe a different brand drill bits?

Possibly you could drill the hole with carbide, press fit a soft plug, then tap the plug????
