ME, me, me, me, me!

In the settings configuration is default machines. Pick the one you want.

Each material you set a standard SFM and chip load. Then each different tool is a percentage of that setting. I usually set the default for HSS. Say you have it set for 200 SFM and .005 chip for HSS. If you set carbide to 200% for both, you get 400SFM and a .010 chip. HTH

no way! I refuse!

I want it free.

I have the mpmaster-okuma posts.

Do they have a mplmaster-okuma for lathes?

Also you hand dial will move the Full Forth. Won't on a indexer.

Every horizontal indexer I have worked on moves with the pulse handle.

you have to break the geometry

It really depends on what heat treat condition it is. It can go from Granite to Kryptonite.

Thad ole buddy, why not remote desktop to the wire computer and run it that way?

30 sfm is recommened for HSS

IIRC I was running 125sfm with Iscar inserts. Haven't cut it in a couple years though

What condition was it heat treated to?

Anybody else ever try this software? It totaly rocks for EDM.

are you selecting faces in the solid selection?

set it in the control def. adjust feedrate on arcs

I'll look when I get to work Ron.

What's a manual lathe ?

Is there a way to stop it from rounding. I have a .1875 radius, it outputs .19

Henry, I presume your files are on a network? I don't get the pictures when posting a network file. Locally it works fine.

Open the material manager. (toolpaths, material manager) Right click in the window, create-new.

yep steveo, the update folder option worked fine for me too.

Brad, will your Makinos run 4 axis interpolation? G2/G3 in a 4 axis path?

Once again, your input is invaluble Wes.

Not being much of a wire guy, can you guys suggest a post for a Makino MGW-S III?

HAHA< funny Ron. And you know what I mean.

Quit pickin on the guy Tonto.
