  1. Also take a look at the product offering from Benz. I bought one a few years ago and its a nice piece. Their slim wgx-s might fit the bill but I don't speak MM.. lol https://www.benztooling.com/en-us/metal/products/machining-center/angle-heads Also as a side note I hate right angle head work... lol talk about PITA....
  2. 19 machines give or take 8 - 3 axis mostly with rotary's 5 - horizontals 6 - 5 axis All Mills All the time We have lathes to but I got a guy for that
  3. Possible from linking motion being speed up? chocking on code?
  4. I see the same behavior on our haas's all the time. I could say some not nice things about the machines but I wont. Hopefully you can use the G187 setting as mentioned above, Our machines just alarm out when I tried so I have to assume its a paid add on that we opted out of. If that doesn't work you are gonna need to play with your tolerance .0004 os pretty tight for a haas, creates alot of code and the control will chock on it.
  5. SHOT IN THE DARK, FREE ADVISE TAKE IT AT FACE VALUE Maybe parameter 19696.5,19746.4, 19754.5. All needed adjustment on my Mori's when we went to the postibility post that utilized G68.2 into a G43.4 move But getting James involved is the greatest of all moves. He has fixed more things with my machines then the actual MTB Programing Coordinate TCP.pdf
  6. DEFINITLY AXIS SUBSTATUTION. I have done this and its fun, Really only necessary in a few situations where travel limits come into play, But If you are just wanting to make YouTube videos, Axis Sub will get u the results, assuming your post is pretty good. Had no problems with my postibility.
  7. We have predator we are slowly phasing it out and have been using Fanuc's program transfer tool. Love its Awesome drag and drop capabilities. Down side is its only for Fanuc
  8. I figured my ip guys were the ones creating havoc. They have been steady locking everything down. Glad to know its just the entire Mastercam community experiencing it as well. Thank goodness for ematercam
  9. So I have always ran the model through model prep, removed history, etc than hit the file drop down , configuration and then switch mastercam from imperial to metric. It will ask if you want to scale the model answer is yes, Done. Usually I have the reverse work flow to turn metric models into Imperial though. In that case I open a new Mcam file switch to metric via same process, then import my metric model, model prep, switch to imperial, Scale Model, Yes, Done It is important to have Mastercam in the correct metric or imperial configuration before importing any model, or things get weird. If its a metric model start in metric mode, if Imperial start in imperial mode. I'm sure their are many ways, but this works 100 percent of the time for me
  10. Super old school option.... Use a Contour, then translate/rotate the contour around the radius ROTARY WORK.mp4
  11. Hey Colin, Merry Christmas my man, Definitely an ezier way, but you know me love beating my head against the wall. We do more castings as of late, So I am becoming better with everyone. I try to get them Qualified and straight into a 5 axis where I have the functionality. We are using vericut, Camplete and anything else we have to. We even got a 3D scanner, to make a raw casting STL. All of that and they are still my least favorite thing in the world. Lol
  12. cant wait to get into this thread over break, looks like a lot of good info. I have always taken the simple approach. If I have rotations going in my Horizontals, I program from COR, set matercam up with my planes associative to a point, Go back the machine do some measuring and move my point to make up for any fixturing error. It sucks but I have always been able to get within a thou. any thing tighter I'll just set up a different work offset. If you have accurate models of your tombstones, or pallets in your case, you can get it pretty good. As for castings, God I hate castings!!! But I try to fixture to datum target points and usually don't need to shift after the initial set up. All of that just to say I have been doing it wrong.. lol I Just wish our horizontals had dynamic work offsets, or Work shift error enabled, probe and go would be a God Send!
  13. thread mill, you can use a small chamfer mill and taper angle, kind fun to play with. I too was bored once. lol
