  1. That was the guy I dealt with... beware. Know exactly what you are getting and that it does everything that he says it will and that someone will train you how to do it. No real complaints on the software other than trying to learn it to use with limited time to play with it.
  2. We only have Predator DNC and Predator Editor. From what I have figured out it is very functional, but there is absolutly no instructional manual on how to use the stuff and have gotten no support from predator, not to mention being lied to about the capabilities of Predator Editor before we were commited to it. So just beware if you go that way, make sure you work out a deal for some training and support.
  3. Jeremy, Just now got a look at that file, if you turn the solid into a wireframe you see that the toolpath in op 18 would actually cut off part of the solid boundary so it is still not entirely accurate, but since I have still yet to get any help from my reseller on this I am just going to program it with the 1/2" full depth and see where that gets me. Thanks for looking at it though.
  4. Sounds like you have it figured out and are on your way, thanks for sharing your position and insight.
  5. Well thought out, Chris what were you looking for as job prospects? Most companies I see seem to be small family run organizations where supervisor/manager is about as high as you get without being family regardless if you know anything or not. Then their are the ones that you have to work there 20 years to get off the floor regardless of your qualifications to do anything more. I would assume much larger corporations(I am thinking Caterpillar and John Deere size) may have possibilites in that realm such as VP of manufacturing or something like that.
  6. I am just curious if there is/should be a place for a business degree in a manufacturing environment below top management that usually doesn't know jack about manufacturing.
  7. John, Do you feel that a business degree coupled with your experience would get you into manufacturing management or were you thinking of a career change when you wrote the above statement?
  8. Thanks for the write up jeremy, I'm away from the computer until monday now, but I'll take a look at it then.
  9. Well I now have access to the off-topic forum if you would like to move it back.
  10. I've done that quite a bit, does work pretty well. Will definitly consider that more, but I am still stuck with figuring out how I can get the dynamic rest mill to work like it should whether I cut that part with that tool path or not.
  11. Here are some screen pics The OP14 roughing operation Logo OP 14.bmp The OP 18 rest milling operation, you can see it is trying to recut the area with the hexagon shape Logo OP 18.bmp
  12. Material is 304L and each piece is roughly 11.125" x 36" so I have alot of material to remove. Was concerned with the endmill living that long, going to run it in a fadal so I am sure there will be some chatter.
  13. Thanks gcode, this is a project for the company so it isn't critical but they are hounding me to get started on it this month. Still have a lot of programming left before then.
