  1. I sometimes spray parts down with WD-40 or M1 before and after EDMing.
  2. The advantage is no slug to worry about. I use it for small die cavities where the slug can be a pain.
  3. On my FX10K, I can't sent a file while the machine is cutting. I was told that it was caused from electrical interference.
  4. If your programmers are already using MC mill or lathe, the change over MC wire would be easy.
  5. I'll give it a try Monday and let you know how I make out. Thanks to all!
  6. I’m thinking about trying something off the wall. I have several parts that need drilled, reamed then a small keyway put in the ID. I’m considering roughing the keyway with a small drill before I drill out the ID,. After reaming, running a homemade broach in the spindle to finish keyway. I have choice of 2 VMCs to use, neither one can find a way to program a spindle orientate and lock. Machines are a Cinci. With a Fanuc 18i and a Bridgeport with a Heindenhain TNC370. Any ideas?? Maybe there’s a better approach??
  7. The man tried to shut me down a few years back, I gave him a list of jams this forum got out of. Then pouted a couple weeks..... still online today!!
  8. I ofter ream small holes in aluminium. Most of the time for 1/8 dowel pin. Nothing ticks me off more than a reamer cutting big. Do you use floating chucks when reaming? Do have any recommendations speeds & feed, predrill sizes.
  9. check your job setup It could be speed and feeds from material or use step, peck, coolant maybe assign tool numbers seqentially.
  10. in your ops manager make sure all operations are checked, right click,options,change NCI des., save. This will put all operation together.
  11. The next time you have a Zippo in your hand, take a look at all the components that go into the lighter. Most the the parts are stamped or drawn.
  12. Haven't got mine yet, the calendars must be a beta version, released to a few chosen testers.
  13. The same thing has been happening to me for about a year now. I've played with some setting but I can't figure it out.
  14. I know there are several different ways to have your programs numbered. I'm just curious to what methods you all are using.
  15. I've heard that they are working on something simular to "detect flat" but would be for vertical walls, this would a handy setting.
  16. quote: . And believe I am the one waiting most desperately for it. Maybe not... just think how this could be applied to a Zippo lighter!!
  17. Just down the street. They did the taping at our visitor center. That was some good free publicity!
  18. I can't get it to load. I run the setup exe. then run the chook "mr0904_check" to verify if its loaded. It says its not loaded????? I tried reloading several time... no luck.
  19. quote: When I tried this, it flipped my tools around (picture looks just like left hand tools) I've been fighting this also. I hope someone has a solution.
  20. I have a small Mitsu. FX10k. Love it! MC machinery has good tech and service support.
  21. I post a program to my hard drive, then open it in Cimco edit making sure everything correct. I then save it to the card. Sometimes when I get out the machine the file's not on the card. So I go back to my PC and it has an alarm about file not saved to removable disc. Whats happening? Am I pulling the card too quick? Do I need to close Cimco before pulling card?
  22. Can you jump ahead to different N blocks while running off the card?
  23. quote: When the flat end surfs get violated, do you have them selected as drive surfs? Yes I'll try scallop.
