The Good Old Old Days Of Dodging Hot Chips and Coolant ,Or at the least Using The Wood Or whatever As a shield While Using A Spray bottle for Coolant Sprays!
I just started getting this pop up for some reason that i have not seen before. whenever i start a new tool op like pocket and go to add info in all the boxes i usually save it to defaults so i don't have to change everything all the time for certain tools that may only need a speed change or feeds i can just most of the time just set depths and click and go on to the next tool .Except Now when i go to save it to defaults i get this pop up.
My question is what causes it and how to get my defaults for all the tools i have saved to pre fill the tools when i select them again to use.
Thanks To All
Most Appreciated
Hey Guys on a lot of this type of work sometimes its in the guy making the parts interest to have a sit down table top review of the machine parts that they would like to make or attempt to make and then go over the prints /models and pick out the trouble spots and point out the errors of there ways in regards to DFM and materials and other options like hardware inserts and out processes like plating , heat treating and anything else and then ask them Do You really need the things that look like trouble and time consuming to machine when it may just be a hole for a wire or hose to go thru and its only clearance not a bearing fit . and if they are receptive to change to make it a better part to build and less costly its in there interest ie $$$$$ and also the machinist's interest less headaches then maybe they may just see the light . Hopefully . But for the most part if they are Professional Licensed Engineers and its on them they may just be open to a lot of Good ideas to build his products in a timely manner that can be repeated without custom tools and lots of money and time down the drain. Then Like the One guy that was working with you after a while they move on or go elsewhere if things keep being a PITA.
But Good Luck some times they just need to have someone point out the error of there ways in a Friendly Manner so they don't Get Upset .
Or in others words You took The CRASH COURSE Like everyone else here has done from time to time . IE School Of Hard Knocks, Then Handling School so you can practice what you learned in the School Of Hard Knocks . Good Stuff Guys !!! Thanks
Would Not Oil Impregnated Bronze be a Better Choice for Wear Items IE like Swing Arm Bushings and Other Rotational Items ? I have not looked up the Specs Just going off of some older replacement items on things that go around and around .??
^^^ Tom you can also set the tool torque limit in the tool page and it will self adjust if the tool starts to get dull and it will auto back off. so then you can check you tool wear or adjust the ratio up or down to fit your tool. Its a little handy so if your not there at the control to stop the wreckage it will save itself. I also like to run the coolant @ 12% and that works good for TI and SS and nickel based Materials so for a V2 that pretty much will keep it going. Peel the stuff as Newbeeee says that's right in the ball park for most of those things.
Good Luck
and Happy Labor Day Weekend
Now Get back to work Unless Your Newbeeee then go watch some races or work on your suntan
^^^^ Yes to That It was always a fun time trying the unscramble the tech info they were trying to put into print and it did take some time since you would never be 100 % sure that what you were reading is what you thought they were trying to say.
And I liked the little worker pictures that they added in to try and show you what going on and add that to the translation issues it was like trying to unscramble eggs and put them back in the shell with Pics ?
But they have come a LONG WAY from that time !
