    Whenever I have to do something like that, I just make a different work offset for every position that we are machining at and then probe it at every position to set the work offsets. I've done it with an indicator too, if the machine does not have a probe.

    We have some finished painted parts that need modifications, mostly drilling and tapping. i'm looking for tips on protecting the finish. They are fairly large steel parts, need to be held in multiple vises and run dry.

    I read a setup sheet that went with a lathe job a few years ago, in which it instructed the Operator to turn the spindle speed knob back and forth if he encountered chatter while running the part. It worked

    It won't do dual dimensions like Solidworks .

    Thanks for the advice guys. It was a Large Tool problem. On the Doosan, a large tool is designated by assigning T0 to both adjacent pots.

    Doosan 500 with Fanuc control. One tool cannot change to. Neither Auto or MDI works. All other tools will change normally. When ever this tool is called, get an alarm. Operator may have tweaked something on the control. Can see tool in pot on Custom page.

    You could post several subs, each with different stock allowance and the operator would just change the sub call in the main program to make the sphere bigger or smaller.

    Yes, many times I have seen bosses that make outrageous claims. Oh, you mean has anyone seen this done.

    I had a job like that and the 1" ball chattered at the bottom, so I used a .75 ball and a swept toolpath for the full radius.

    Maybe it throws the chips off the drill?

    KME website says it has rechargeable batteries inside the tombstone that last 8 hours.

    Analyze the lower line too. The drawing might not be symmetric around the centerline

    It was added to the Downloads section on this site last week.

    HLE on dual monitors with 2nd monitor turned sideways.

    I think you will need a Strausak operator's manual. I've never used one.

    Is that a Philips control on a Deckel ?

    2017 Simulator was working right but it's messed up now. The part and tool are ok but the rest of the machine is really small like it's been converted from inches to millimeters. Help!

    You can rename the Wireframe tab to be Create. But the hotkey is still W. Likewise you can create a new tab named Create, but it assigns the hotkey Y1. Other new tabs are Y2, Y3, etc.

    I'm used to it

    We don't have 2017 yet, Wwwaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! Is there a student/demo version I can get for home?

    I did a casting job similar to that recently, where the cast datum needed to be level. We made a fixture with some adjustment in it. Each casting was probed in 4 places and then the fixture was tweaked a calculated amount and then probed again to check the adjustment. Once the part was parallel to the table, it was easy to probe the angle in the B-axis and offset it.

    I was just doing tool paths on your part and most of it can be roughed out with a flat endmill with 5.50 stickout.

    If it has look ahead, using a G8 P1 will turn it on.
