Tony I am overjoyed to have a job. My ONLY snivel is that I need more challenge and a little room to grow. I probably posted hastily the other day but, my day job boss refuses to see the advantage of updating software (just sees $ signs) and is not interested in efficient mfg processes. But, that's yet another challenge! Thanks guys Jim

Thanks James ...I'll give em a call after the first of the year Jim [ 12-23-2002, 01:42 PM: Message edited by: Jim Whipple ]

I'm looking ....need more challenge than I get here... Jim

I have a G Force 2 MX 400 in my home box and a G Force MX 440 at work both 64 meg...the one at work is better than the one at home. The concensus seems to be G Force 4 Ti 4400 and I think there are some older drivers on the FTP site that work to address the hidden cursor issue, Hope this helps Jim [ 12-19-2002, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: Jim Whipple ]

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all!! This forum is a marvel Jim in Very rainy Seattle

Can you set the C plane normal to an entity (the end of your part as in this post? http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...ic;f=1;t=004678 If I understand your question.... Jim

I'd also like to know how nany hits per day this forum gets. Couple hundred.... Just from ME!!! Jim

Congrats indeed!! Jim

When you get home, let us know what's up... Jimi

Tony We have a Haas Mini Mill. If you can live with only 6k on the spindle and not a ton of power it is a great machine...within it's design limits! We've had ours a little over a year now, no reliability issues. It will every now and then fault on a tool change but I think that's because I don't have a lot of time to clean the machine. It's a little limited on memory also but when I need a big program I just DNC it so that's no big thing to me I don't think I'd go for the super mini mill though cause you can get more mill for the money with a larger Haas. The only other snivel I have is that it is a pain in the butt to get chips out of Other that that I think its a good machine HTH Jim [ 12-13-2002, 10:23 AM: Message edited by: Jim Whipple ]

John I use 1 by 2 alum for jaws so if I need 3" dia I would make the jaws so I was cutting about 3/4" into the jaws. In otherwords your Y zero would be 3/4" off the jaw face. Then go however deep you need It's the surface area that holds the part more than the jaw pressure 1 1/2" spacer between the jaws Jim [ 12-12-2002, 11:39 AM: Message edited by: Jim Whipple ]

The Metacut Utilities does just that http://www.metacut.com/ Jim

Sorry... It's the adjust feed on arc move button And I'm still way back there at V8.1.1 too Jim

Just a thought... Do you have the HSM box checked in the Job Setup page? I think that's the only thing that will get you variable feedrates. HTH Jim [ 12-12-2002, 10:14 AM: Message edited by: Jim Whipple ]

I think that's Mastermachine...right down the street from me. The whole set of jaws is quite spendy though. Has V jaws, sine jaws and a bunch more. More geared towards a toolmaker than production though I'll see if I can find more info I made my own set after seeing theirs.. Jim

Nice graphics on the opening page!! Jim

This computer racin is tough eh? Jim

I make a lot of soft jaws. When I go to machine them I use 123 blocks or a piece of steel to load the vice so when the jaws are closed the Z heights are right. No tilt, in other words I also make blank jaws up in advance just to speed myself up Jim
