I was afraid of that, I hope X3 has some better lathe stuff! Mill has it all Or am I just being lazy?
-
Or slow down on aproach of a corner then pick the feed rate back up, like you can on mill? Thanks
-
Hey guys, Is there a way to dwell in a particular chosen corner in the finish toolpath? Thanks
-
That sounds good JParis, we have over twenty cnc mills and ten cnc lathes, I have thought a good mixing valve would be a great thing to have here but the owner is a little on the tight side. I have not done any research on prices yet but most of the guys just eyeball it when mixing out of a 50gal drum. Is there a website that supports that information, such as "break" the coolant mixture? I have got some things done around here, but it took a lot to convince them! I am surprised they use skimmers.
-
We use a "Refractometer" also, but we mix the coolant in 5gal buckets. I usually try to keep the meter at 3. I guess why I am asking this is because a friend of mine has started a new job at a shop and his lead dude told him to mix it every time. They mix it the same way, and I dont think they they use a "Refractometer" at all, I was just thinkin if they keep doing that, they would have too much coolant %%%, and if so what negative affect could that have?
-
Also, if the coolant numbers to get to cocentated, what affect would this have on the machine or anything else?
-
Leash is the best idea, I keep mine snapped next to my travel drive around my neck.

Hello all, We use Trim coolant at our shop, and I add once or twice a week, I add one mixture of coolant to the same of just water the second time it needs it, and it seems to keep the coolant number at average. My thinking is if I would add a coolant mixture every time the water would evaporate faster and would leave to much concentrated coolant. Is this true for most shops? Or is my thinking wrong?

removing extra WCS's in Lathe
Paul Felger replied to Scott Garrison@Weiler Engineering's topic in Industrial Forum
Not realy sure what you are asking but everything should be set at top in 2d Gview:top WCS:top T/Cplane:top -
Its working now, I had another opp. open and it would not let me do anything. Read your promt!! Thanks again, I glad its Fri.
-
I left click on geometry and nothing hapens
-
Ok, I think I spoke to soon, I did import the tool paths but now I cant seem to do anything with them, like regen or rechain
-
Thanks guys, took a little to find the right file but found it and works great This should save alot of time in the future.
-
I know how to get to import, but after that not sure
-
could you be a little more specific,sorry still a little new to mc.
-
I am running a lathe program, and my next job the part is a lot alike. My question is how can I copy the tool paths and apply it to my next part and rechain?
-
quote: Can I plug into this??????? I think so, but it might only be 2D
-
Just read this thread, very funny but also good idea. So did the sign work?
-
What about voice commands?
-
oops, sorry my dia. is .5299
-
ok, I am cutting into a corner @ F.0008 and my SF is 325, I want the tool dwell for 2 revs. before it moves on.
-
Does anyone have a simple formula they use for dwell cycles, such as two revelutions per dia.?
-
can you change the crosshair line thickness?
-
I have shown them several things on X2 and also the forum, but still they go back to v9. I am on the forum everyday and have learned a lot. I am on lathe the most at work but practice mill at home, I think I would like mill a lot better, not much 3d on lathe.
-
I dont know MC9 very well, I have only been programming for about a year on X and X2, has anyone gone from 9 to X2?
