solid works best bet

id use a dovetail mill and simple contour the dia of chamfer.. id compensate in z for any flat that might be at the dia of the mill

do most of you do this ???run 2 open mastercams with no computer power loss

how about getting a demo version work with it then show him what its all about ????

make sure the insert are in right theres only one way it has a sqiggly line on the proper corner and ive seen them in wrong from time to time

i use a ball mill with maybe .01 deep cut. Cuts cleaner 1/8 ball mill reved up max rpm

wow that does look almost too good to be true at that price and plugs into solidworks ...

real real old mastercam ?????

had a similar problum once on our laptop it was set to go into sleep mode after so long it didnt show up on fast jobs but those long jobs it poped up and bite me

you should be opening a .sldprt file to get the model

we use some pm ruffers they work great

we also use a vacumme system to suck up the chips as you go its nasty stuff to inhale so dont

i like sharp hss tool for polycarbs you can wipe pvc/abs cleaner on the edge to polish it

He programmed some left hand threads on four large Inconel665 parts. Of course they were supposed to be right hand threads. Kiss goodbye 8,800.00 worth of castings, not to mention his job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 41 | From: Wisconsin | Registered: Apr 2004 | IP: Logged Camdude Senior Member Member # 762 posted 08-17-2005 12:35 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "G", can you use M04 spindle command and thread in a positive "Z" direction?? jess thinkin out loud! don't know if it'll work though -------------------- Phil Jennings Greene Tweed & Co., Inc.

Grab a threading tool and a bolt, hold them up to one another and you will see what you need to do to make a left hand thread(have inverted insert and turn in reverse). I have a left hand thread tool with inserts that match the holder, program M04 and thd from the end of the part to the shoulder. Simply flipping the holder will cause you to have the body of the holder leading the tip of the insert into the part. This can be a big problem if there is not any clearance for the tool holder.
