  1. I didn't quite understand the question. Guitar: 2" facemill that stays in the cut while using the standard Facing without extra geometry
  2. You just need to set the parameters in the facing options. Maybe X5 didn't have enough options, I can't remember
  3. I couldn't live without the solid selection button.... What if you just want to machine a certain part of your solid? You could select all, create a bounding box I guess?? That's a feature you'll just have to deal with
  4. Those are Vector Lines, used more for multi-axis. I would just use 2D swept or waterline
  5. I also don't use mach sim, but I got the same license error as you. What gives?
  6. I just added a few more functions in my Right-click Context Menu Helps to get away from some of those damn ribbons lol I do like the new version I reckon, but it's gonna take a few days to get used to...
  7. Thanks G! I now have the levels and planes separate from the op mgr.
  8. I am Definitely Not a fan of the new level manager; how it's integrated into the operations manager. They made MC look like Microsoft Office 2013
  9. Those tools will Not work.... The cutter Dia will leave too much rad in the corner. Like 5TH said tapered endmill, not tapered neck
  10. Here is Everything you wanted to Know about Gap Settings..
  11. Just turn Cutter Comp to OFF, and No Lead-In Lead-Out.
  12. Not much point in drawing the actual high feed profile. You just need to define it as a corner radius endmill. Usually the Manufacturer can give you the theoretical CR.
  13. Yup, I have to run all longer programs in User Memory, it's a little over a gig of storage. Although, it's on a 504 control Fanuc Oi-MD.
  14. When I'm roughing I usually stay somewhere around .002 to .005" tolerance if I leave plenty of rough stock. Turning on the Arc filter will greatly shorten the processed toolpath, and in most cases run much better. All kind of depends on your machine, toolpath, and what your cutting.
  15. If I had X5 I could give you some really good informative parts/files. I see how your doing it, I just can't fix it and send it back to you past X8...
  16. This must be modified in your post from what I've been told...
  17. Is there any need to update if you were using a 3 or 4 year old Mpmaster post that slightly modified?
  18. JParis, How are you creating the paths for plunge milling? Is there a somewhat simple way to rough a 3D part while backing away from the surface wall on retract?
  19. Can you post up a file, it will get much better results here. I don't think myself or others are clear on your settings.
  20. That isn't what I get... G91 G28 Z0.0 M05 on my Haas will retract to home and Then stop the spindle. G91 G28 Z0.0 M05 on my Mori will execute the spindle stop as the spindle retracts simultaneously. Saves a Little bit of time on the mori, and just looks funny on the haas.
