How can I change That? Thanks.

Hi, Go to tool manager/ right click on tool/ save geometry to level. Good luck. Ara.

I usually pick a tool close to my custom tool and save geometry and then edit my tool and holder. The colors are already there. Ara.

Same happens with me. I cannot open my machine def. It will delete my control def. file and make a tamp file. Ara.

Hi Robert, If your reseller is here in Southern California, How can you request a post from In House solution in Canada? Thanks. Ara.

Hi Oscar, I did the changes, when I’m doing a simultaneous cut, it posts out good. But on drilling ops giving me a wrong B axis sign, ( all me B axis should be negative). I’ll work on it see what is the problem. Thanks for your help. Ara.

Hi. The generic Haas TR series post that comes with Mastercam made for Haas Trunnion that sits along the X axis. The one I'm working on, sits along Y axis. First I changed This.(rotdir2$ = vecx #Direction Changed from (vecy) to (vecx) 09/26/12 ). There is a hole at B-90. And A0. but the post, post out a positive B and A-90. My pack plot and verify is not right either. When I verify my part instead of show my part on –x side, it shows on +Y quarter of screen. Thanks. Ara.

Hi, Can someone help me with the changes in the post and machine def. for a Haas TR-160Y Trunnion Table? I can not make it work right. I'm using the generic Haas TR series post that comes with Mastercam. Using X6MU2 Thanks in advance. Ara.

Hi Colin, Thanks for the reply. This post is for one of our local community collage, Since they don't have any luck with their local reseller. I'm volunteering my time to make it work, but don't have lot of experience on editing post. So, it will take me a while to get it right. Appreciate your help.

Hi Colin, Could you check see if this part of my post is ok. Something is not right, can not find out why!!!! It's a Haas TR-160Y Trunnion Table which sits along Y axis. Thanks.

Hi Oscar, I made the changes. It looks right. just need to run my test program. Thanks. Ara.

Not sure what kind of magnet. I need to find out. Thanks. Ara.

Thanks.

Thanks Colin. I'll try this. Ara.

Thanks for the reply gcode. Any idea for tooling? Ara.

Hi, I have to machine a groove with a 3/16 ball endmill on magnet. Any suggestion about tool feed and speed? Thanks. Ara.

Hi, We just bought a Haas TR-160Y Trunnion Table. I need to do a test run on it. Was wondering if anyone out there is using this machine? If I start with the generic Haas TR series post that comes with Mastercam what should I change first since the TR160Y is sitting along the Y axis? Using X6MU2 Thanks in advance. Ara.

Thanks Roland. I will do that.

Hi, I'm using a modified Mplmaster post to program our Bridgeport EZ-Path lathe. I need to do my tool change before my rapid move position. How can I change that in my post?

Hi JParis, My geometry made of arcs and lines. I don't have any splines there. I'm getting my G02,G03 with I,J codes. Which filter setting you are talking about? Thanks. Ara.

Hi. I'm trying to machine a simple 2d geometry but somehow can not get an smooth arc on my part. It looks like machining splines, but the geometry is arcs and lines. Not sure its a post issue or the machine its self. Attached is a picture of my control def. setting. Our post is a modified mpmaster. using Mastercam X5MU1 Thanks in advance. Ara.

Thanks,I think I'll start with MPmaster post.

Hi, How can I update my V9 post to X5? I tried it last year for X4, but some how it didn't work. Do I need to do some changes in new control and machine def. that my update creates? Thanks. Ara.

Got it.Swapped the "l" for a "$". Thank you very much Keith for your time.
