    No spot, just straight drill in?
  2. Thad
    .257 dia. I've been authorized to buy 6 drills. Speed is obviously a concern, but it's not like we're running 1000s of parts all year long.

    We have a stamped part that we run out of 316 stainless. They want to add another hole to the part. It will eventually be added in the die but we have 500 parts without the hole that they want reworked. I'm hoping to run it with air blast (no coolant). I'm looking for recommendations on solid carbide drills to add the hole. The part is .100 thick and jobber length drill will be used. This *should* be a one time run. Brand? Coating? Anything else? Thanks!

    LOL. Byte teh part time moderator.
  5. Thad
    @byte may be able to help you out with that script.
  6. Thad
    Just messing with you.
  7. Thad
    You are, but that has nothing to do with cutting a pocket.
  8. Thad
    I get it too. Clicking in the graphics area gets rid of it, but it's annoying nonetheless. Thanks GCP!

    I don't have anything constructive to add, but I just wanted to say hi to you, Peter. I remember you from way back. You used to live in the northeast, didn't you? Vermont or Massachusetts maybe? Anyway, welcome back!
  10. Thad
    I'm not arguing or complaining about their position. Clearly you've missed the point.
  11. Thad
    I'm not talking about paid for posts.

    A few job changes ago, I mentioned here that I was running a new machine and wanted to customize a post. I asked what a good out of the box post to start with was for that particular machine. Three or four people emailed me their post. But if you come here to the forum and ask for a post, you'll get pointed to the forum rules rather quickly. I think you'd be amazed at what is shared behind closed doors among contributing members in good standing. Just sayin. If i had it, I'd give it to you.

    I haven't heard of any crashes, just that it won't find all the arcs of the given size until you combine views. Or maybe I heard about them and forgot.
  14. Thad
    May 2002 for me. 18 years! Mask on arc wouldn't work until BernieT (where are you Bernie?!?) told me I had to Combine Views first. Thank you InHouse for all that you do! Thank you to everyone here who I learn from every day. You're the best!!!
  15. Thad
    I never work on files even remotely close to that size, but it's good info to know. Thanks for sharing Ron.

    You can import toolpaths directly from another MC file. No need to export, then import.
  17. Thad
    That's because it sucks.
  18. Thad
    Would you really want to run a HSS end mill at 40,000 RPM?
  19. Thad
    I guess you could take that a few different ways.
  20. Thad
    You mean Surface Contour toolpath, gcode?
  21. Thad
    Perhaps it could've been me not paying attention in the past, but I think you've recently (last few months?) become a more active member of the forum, both here and OT. I've been using MC since 2002 and that was WAY before we even had an OT forum at eMC...but I always read your posts at eMC with interest. I appreciate and enjoy your forum contributions. Different users have different workflows with MC. There's something that we can all learn from each other regardless of how much seat time we've had.
  22. Thad
    Yeah! See, there's all of these EXTRA things you can do to make it act like it used to.
  23. Thad
    The MC Handbooks by Charles Davis are outstanding!
  24. Thad
    Thanks! Very interesting indeed.
  25. Thad
    Would you possibly be able to create a version of this file that can be opened in MC2018 or lower?
