    Did you try single block in memory ? Then search forward ?

  3. iowajim62
    Right on and your welcome BTW I was thinkin bout that a bit more and that is the same thread as spark plugs
  4. iowajim62
    go here and then save it for future ref http://itstool.com/tapdrillchart/tapdrillchart.html

    .527-.528 should be your minor dia. so .551-.527=.024 .024/2=.012 for your x value
  6. iowajim62
    If you have thread wires to check the pitch dia. you can go by the #'s in the Machinery Handbook and you will be good to go.

    You have to create an STL file first Rick. You have a couple ways to make them.. Either from your existing model or when you run verify you have the option to make one.
  8. iowajim62
    Rick, Should be in your "Data" folder.

    IF[#157=1]THEN#800=1 try this instead
  10. iowajim62
    you can try this method but need Acrobat3D My link edit: I am late
  11. iowajim62
    For that diameter to depth in that material I would consider the Kennametal Sculpted Edge IF you have TSC. Kennametal SE HP Drills

    Can you draw the 2 arcs and 2 lines and then break the 2 lines on C/L in X and use that ?
  13. iowajim62
    No there is currently no way to pick all the arcs and chamfer them in one operation. Feature Based Machining would be required to accomplish this. You'll have to do as Mic6 says and create individual ops for each arc. IF the software could "look"/analyze a solid model or wireframe model and create the appropriate operation/pick the tool/and post the program then a 6 yr old could do it and you would be out of a job.
  14. iowajim62
    Good Idea Murlin Another thought is to do a save some and save off the solid you created as a separate file to toolpath with. I would add as much RAM to that system build as you can, 2 GB is awful low nowadays.
  15. iowajim62
    I follow what your trying to do. My thoughts were that you would start with all sharp edges on the cube and create the 8 corners with .250R first. Then fillet the 12 edges that are still sharp with .125R second.
  16. iowajim62
    Try starting with adding the .250R on the corners and then adding .125R fillets afterwards.

    ask the customer if they could send an IGES format file to try as an alternative

    Are they moving or is the machine not holding position ? Might want to check that the machine isn't the culprit... I have seen patterns of features out because of the machine before, and a round part with a circular pattern set of features would allow for the worst case to show the machines backlash/slop in both X and Y....
  19. iowajim62
    This is the part I haven't seen whipped yet... had the same issue on a cell...my guess would be that the cell controller will have to handle/control the macro for serial # and the problem is which machine the pallet will be running that adds more complexity to having the cell controller hand off to which machine...and then the machine telling the cell controller where it leaves off each time.... Good Luck
  20. iowajim62
    Rick, I just noticed in your pic that you had a file open. I would try making changes with Mcam open and no file loaded. It might be trying to grab data.......
  21. iowajim62
    Rick, try and make a copy of the default md/cd/post and rename with -1 or -R or whatever u want at the end of the name E.G. Haas.MMD copy and rename to Haas-1.MMD just guessing outloud bro
  22. iowajim62
    Can you try the Rolldie Chook ?
  23. iowajim62
    The newer interlocks have to be taken apart or unbolted from the door itself. I have seen a simulated interlock component fabricated and then used to put in the interlock device so the machine thinks the door is closed.
  24. iowajim62
    Not always useless unless the part and fixture for follow on ops is a different tombstone. Sometimes tho it's easier with multiple files like this job.
  25. iowajim62
    All your allocations the same as before in X5 Tom ?
