Dave with the mpsubrep pst it DOES each operation for each of the multi parts then moves on to the next op it does NOT do 1 complete part and then another .
i relize this is about using transform to get multiple parts but we use the MPSUBREP pst.
We programe and machine the 1st pc make any adjustments to the master cam file then repost with this pst and you get multi pcs in a subrep easy to edit not alot of code and you get efficent code ...i think not alot of users know of this post but it works great ...hth

sometimes on plastic parts we climb mill the ruff pass and conventional machine the finish pass does a nicer job on the finish...also on chamfer milling passes it seems to wipe the pickup off the edge on my spring pass
im alittle late chimming in but we use 3M VHB (very high bond)this stuff is used here in assembley and we have been using it alot in the shop it holds great
we use a coolnt operated bar puller on our sl-10 but we had to get a bigger pump and we just use this subroutine to advance stock
g00 x0 z1. (moves close to part)
m8 (grips part)
m11(unclamp chuck)
g98(feed in inch mode)
g01z2. f20.(moves z back amount needed )
m10(clamp chuck)
m9(coolnt off)
g4p2.(dwel to let fingers off part)
g99(back to feed per rev mode)
g28(move to home)
cannot use this in single block
takes a little tweek at the machine but works good for a puller
years ago we seperated our lathe from the mill package got charged for that, we only pay maintence on mill and from what im told we arnt doing it anymore ...just came from the x4 rollout and lathe is just window dressing ...we still use v9 for turning

Now the machine is a newer Fadal. Not exactly a steel machine but does ok. Max cutter dia for roughing is .75dia. You can use insertables but probably won't go biggger than 1.5dia" and .2"axial cut.
A 4axis vertical is used to finish the bores and grease fitting holes.
