By the way the rest looks great!

where do I have to go to change out the logo to my companys. Thanks

perfect thanks! So far I am lovin this for rest roughing

I just started playing with the stock model today. Is it possible to toggle it on and off to see my part. Thanks

Does anyone know if there is x+ for X6 yet.

Thanks

It looks like x6 is available for download again but on the main page it still says x5 mu1 is the latest download. I was just wanted to know it anyone knows if it is ready or not. Thanks

Hey guys. I just got my first 3d mouse. The space mouse pro. Seems pretty cool. I just wanted to know if anyone has any tips or tricks and settings that would help me get use to it faster. Thanks

I was just looking at that yesterday. Now I just need to convince the boss to get one. Anybody know if there is anywhere cheaper to get one than from 3dconnexion

Well that is to bad. I really do not want to go backwards to v9 coolant. And I was happy to see the new icon. I imagine a lot of people are going to be frustrated by that one. Thanks again for the help.

Ok I got every thing to work but the new coolant icon in operation manager still says coolant off even if I turn it on. Any ideas on what would cause that.

Thanks

I am having problems to. I ran the update folder according to jparis but my post and machine def and control def do not get updated and do not show up in the x6 list. Every thing else looks ok. right click menu -background-icons etc is the same as x5. I just cannot get my post and machine def to update. Any thoughts? thanks

What do i need to do to extract or unzip an RAR file. I have never seen one before.

I am only going to be using it for Mastercam. I agree that the explorer looks easier to use. Anything else I am missing

Hey guys. I am finnaly looking at getting a 3d mouse. Which one should I get and why. I am looking at the space explorer and and space pilot pro.

Thanks for the help.

I agree with Robert. Its seems very close to 7075 only a little harder. So far everything is going good with no surprises. Thanks for your input.

Anyone familiar with ALUMOLD 500. I need to machine some parts and no one seems to have heard of it. The only thing I could find online is that its Brinell is 185. Just wanted to see if anyone here has any suggestions for SFM. Or what to compare it to. Thanks in advance.

try this.. open the tool with tool edit..

change the tool number, hit TAB and check the D and H values

they should match the new tool number.

Now change the Tool number back to it's real value.

See if H and D are correct

Yes this works. But I have never had to do it in X4. Why should I have to do it now. The thing I do not understand is it does it at random. Out of 10 tools I will get 1 or 2 that post with zeros.

I double checked and yes I am using the correct machine def and control def. I only use 1. If I load a generic haas file it still has zeros in the tool paramater offsets but it does post correctly. With my machine def and control def it posts some tools correctly and some with zeros in the H and D. Im confused. I compared my config file to the one in x4 and cannot see any differences.

I checked that before and I checked it again to be sure and it is set to add to tool 0 and 0

Any other ideas??

After installing x5 it posts out some of my tools with H0 and D0. When I look at the define tool page it says head # 0 and on parameter page it says 0 by the diameter and length offsets. In x4 I never had a problem but on the define tool page in x4 it has -1 by the head # and the correct offsets numbers on the parameter page. I do not have any custom libraries. What am I missing?? Thanks in advance.

The pocket is 2.75 x 2 pretty much square with a .375 x 1.5 bump out on one side

I have a pocket to cut in a36 hrs that is thru 1" deep. I want to try dynamic mill using a basic garr .500 carbide endmill 1.00 loc. I have no idea where to start for feeds and speeds and stepover. I was going to try

.002 fpt (20 ipm)

sfm 327 (2500 rpm)

3% stepover or .015

full depth of cut( 1" deep)

Am I anywhere close?

Thanks in advance!

perfect! thanks so much.

How do I modify X+ to post out to 3 decimal places in the tool list for tool diameter(.251)

Thanks

I think I finally got it. Thanks anyway.
