Thanks for the tease. I think that's what I'm looking for for code.What post did you start with? I've got an email in to reseller for post work. Tried another post MPLFAN. Didn't help.

I'm used to just doing this on Okumas with IGF. Looking at the HAAS manuals, if it output "Y" moves instead of "C", G112 will convert it in the background into a "C" movement. This is what I'm getting for code. G20 (TOOL - 5 OFFSET - 5) ( 5/16 FLAT ENDMILL) ( MILL 1 7/8" SQUARE ) G0 T0505 M154 M8 G0 G54 X1.2189 Z2. C11.503 G97 P1711 M133 Z.1 G98 G1 Z-.5 F5. X1.5284 C356.685 F377.37 G98 G3 G112 X1.5626 C0. R.0624 F6. G1 X1.5625 C.7813 X-1.5625 C-.7813 X1.5625 C0. C.1 G113 G3 X1.5528 C10.704 R.0625 F427.36 G1 X1.1952 C357.935 F325.46 G0 Z2. I started off with the Generic Fanuc 4X MT post. Most of it is working ok except for this c axis face contour.

Good afternoon all. I'm fighting with my post, Could someone / anyone do a quick program of a C axis face contour of a 1 7/8" ID Square with a 5/16" endmill with computer comp and put it up so I can compare code? Machine is a HAAS ST40. Pulling my hair out. Thanks, Brett

Talk about Twilight Zone. I just logged in to see about the exact same thing to fix my post to use on an ST40. I'll check back later.

Machine was never crashed. Was never really run hard either. Did mostly 954 Bronze and a little bit of 316L and some 4140. Man I wish I could have bought it. It has IGF on it, stick with that for programming. JMO

Martin, It's a TOS WHQ13 with 40 tool changer and Heidenhein TNC530 control. I'm pretty green when it comes to post mods and such. I had 1 guy for awhile that got a "W" move put in that works but I want to understand how he did it in case I need to make changes down the road. Thanks

Hi guys, gonna bring this back from the dead. I'm trying to get my TOS Horizontal boring mill to work with MC. I need to get the machine to move "W" to 0.0 after the tool change. I can't figure out how to do this with misc int/ values. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Brett

Cemented carbide? Having a hard time picturing that. Can you point me in a direction?

I found some 1 1/4" that were $830 / piece. I need to get a ballnose made to a .531" rad. I looked at insert cutters awhile ago, but insert geometry (chipbreakers) weren't condusive to get the sizes that I need. I've tried offsetting lines to fudge the geometry but my machine feed tops out before I can actually use the cutter to capacity. Sorry for the explanation if its not clear. Brett

Anyone know where to find a 1 1/8" ish solid carbide endmill? Thanks

I've got the machine set properly but I don't know how to get the code to put out only to 360deg. I did review my old posts to see if I missed something but there is no mention of how to get the post to output only up to 360 degs. Here is my first post on the subject http://www.emastercam.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...t=032410#000000 Says there is a small change to the post but I don't know what.

Hello all, I'm running X2 MR1 SP1. I have an Okuma mill with the rotary axis set to ineffective so that every 360 degrees it resets to 0. I need to get my post to output only to 360 degrees and reset. Anyone know how to do that? Being Sunday and of course in the middle of a rush job I am kinda hooped at the moment. Thanks for any help. Brett

That mostly worked but... I am programming with no offset. However, I have to offset a line to each side of the mainline for semi finishing purposes. Those offset lines give up 40K degs. though. Is there something in the post that needs to be changed other than shortest dist. in the machine def?

Superman, it did to a point but the last one I had to spend a lot of time making sure the start and end points of each section all matched up. This one is no different. If I post out each section it might be okay. I'm just trying to find a way to make 1 full program though. All of the suggestions have helped. I just wish the rotary wouldn't stop at 9999 deg. Life would be easier

I'm working on another cable grooving. My finish pass will work from - to + but I need to break the roughing into 4 sections. There are 38 wraps. If I try to post the roughing ops I get all kinds of wonky numbers up to 60000 deg. I might have to just post them seperately then merge them into one big program. Will suck if I need changes though. Rotary tops out at 9500 or so degs. in either direction so I need to split it in half each way.
