Another good option would be to use a small dia endmill and contour ramp. It would be like single pointing it all around. That would keep the load very low.

Guffie opened my file with no issues and I cannot here....this is strange..

What SP of SW are you using? If you email me, I can send you the SW2011 SP2 simple solid I made yesteday to test.
-
rib meaning .036 thick and .62 tall? If so, use a small diameter cutter (to reduce load) and take thin finish cuts. If it's supported on the ends if won't be too much trouble.
-
As a test, I just created a rectangle and it did not open. I though maybe a simple solid would but not the case. FWIW

Well if it's related to having X5 installed on the same PC then that means that CNC could release a patch for this to work but I don't expect they would do that since it won't help their sales getting people to move to X5.

I just tried it. I have a SW 2011 SP2 (64 Bit) native model (created in this version) and it won't open in X4 MU3 " Cannot find Parasolid data in Solidworks file" My guess is, the files you guys did open where probably not created from the start in 2011, just a guess.

I bet you could form tap them.

On our NL it's M98 not 198. But, I don't call from an external card.

Bob, Acetal cuts great. Here is a trick we use: At the end of the cycle, run the drill backwards before putting it aways - it will sling the chips off.

This Question comes up all the time.....The number of decimal places comes from the Windows enviorment - you need to go to lang. setting and change it there.
-
I think you best chance would be some type of FBM to get a premininary program to know what the cycle time will be.
-
I remember seeing a program for swiss/screw machine type parts but in the end I think it was just as much work as programming the part to get the cycle time.
-
I would suggest you contact Southwestern Industries or the dealer who sells PT in your area.

Yep. If I have the choice, I only form. I even do it in material that's 45-50 Rc. I like Guhring Form Taps.
