What code do you use to mirror program about either X or Y axis, i am using Fanuc Control.

what cutting speed is used when machine aluminium. in m/min. using carbide cutting tool.

what cutting speed is used when machine aluminium. in m/min.

OK . THANKS. G4T7M06 S10000M10 -THIS WILL BE BETTER G4 ON THIS MACHINE IS NOT A DWELL. IT IS A COMMAND FOR THE MACHINE TO DO SOMETHING.

because i programmed M10 (air blast on) on the same line as the toolchange , the tool ignored to do a toolchange used next tools offsets with the same tool and continued cutting with incorrect tool. G4T7M06M10 - M10 ADDED TO LINE ( AIR BLAST ON ).

if i programed G4T7M06M10 - (M10 AIRBLAST ON) SHOULD TOOL DO A TOOLCHANGE OR IGNORE.

i am using a toolpaths rough chain stock recognition is blank in rough toolpath parameter page , stock has been defined in job setup and shows up on screen. though if i chain the outer boundary after selecting toolpath chain all works well.

In MCAM LATHE when Selecting a roughing toolpath, tool ignores stock boundary , why?

yes i am plunging into fresh air i know that it is leathal though i am just wondering if it can be changed , so that when i recalculate my speeds and feeds for a given matl, it will show something different either faster or slower

MY TOOLS CURRENTLY WORK OF THE MATERIALS LIST, WHENEVER I CALCULATE MY SPEEDS AND FEEDS FOR A GIVEN MATL I GET MY PLUNGE RATE RUNNING SLOWER THAN MY FEED RATE, IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE PLUNGE RATE SO THAT WHEN I RECALCULATE MY SPEEDS AND FEEDS IT IS A MUCH HIGHER FEED RATE.

i want the tool to plunge at both ends of the contour eg. cut from (a to b then plunge) then cut back from (b to a and repeat) etc. in one operation.

Is there any software on the net for example: Tools for M/cam Library And Even Materials Specs

Increase you Clearance Plane to Be higher than the clamps therefore whenever the tool moves to another position there will e No Problem with Clamps Question:- In Mastercam V8 can you tell the program where and how high your clamps are?

IS there any way when i machine a contour from A. To B. i can Plunge at Both ends of the contour instead of retracting and moving back to *** . A. The way i machine this is by translating my toolpath in Z- at several increments and get the tool to follow this toolpath Eg 3D Contour. Is there a simpler way of getting the tool to do this?

where in Sydney Austalia can i purchase Mastercam V8. or V9 Mill and or Lathe Demo?
