Do you need to run coolant with that?

Even with the best machine, best boring bar, best everything..... that is not going to happen in a production setting. (ok, if you had the best ever everything it might....) You will find it cheaper to send it out for honing or ID grind than to pay your guys to go on a wild goose chase. I hope they quoted that appropriately. Give the operator a -.001/-.003 tolerance & make sure he is checking concentricity. Honing guys will cry if you give too much of a range on the size of the parts, grinders wont care if there's .002 or .007 stock on....

I just use separate files when I want to distinguish things. Heck, when things get really big, I move to a whole new computer!

How much stock was on before the finish pass?

File Migration Wizard

There is also "Toolpath editor". After you've created the op (with broken arc....) right click on it, at the bottom of the list you will see toolpath editor. Though this is probably the same amount of work if not more than "change at point".... Which I prefer over toolpath editor because it does not lock your operation. Good Day Sir!

I'm back to applook 7 (man I missed it!) and yes, the path is there, sorry.

I think the one I liked was applook 7. but I had to stop using it because it did not show the file path in the title bar. (header bar... whatever) Have him try going back to the default applook (or whichever one you are using) and let us know if the problem persists....

It's nice to have those "low-stress" days every once in a while!

Did your co-worker change the "applook" setting?

Is machine backlash an option? Are you going directly to the control def? Settings, control def? If so your changes wont be active until you restart mcam. You can get around this by making your control def changes via the machine def.... settings machine def control def icon at the top. (looks like a machine control with a green and a red button) make your changes, hit the save icon before exiting the control def. hit the save icon before exiting the machine def click yes when it asks you about replacing...... If that doesn't do it, there is a setting in your post that is overriding the control def settings.

Would you also define your tool upsidedown? How would the Tool axis get flipped?

2d contour set to ramp. (1.5651 dia arc, cut with 1/2" EM, circle mill does a spring pass for me with finishing unchecked)

IMO, this ability is something you either have or you don't. If you have it, and the right teacher/classroom... < 1 month to independently program some simple parallel surfacing, Swarf a wall or 2, and Curve an edge with some side tilt. (experienced 3 axis programmer that has good spatial orientation skills) If you don't, get out the checkbook and call the MTB service dept. Schedule some repairs now.

Filter settings, "use fixed segment length" is checked.

Har Har Har . I just wanted to let the ghost in the machine know we didn't just flip a coin on that decision. Have a good weekend fellas!

The decision was made to enable some new things we are working on. And you will like them much better than an undockable ribbon bar. ;-)

Well, well, well..... look what the electronic signal over many wires dragged in! How are you enjoying your new home (USA)? You can, but then you have to do the math....

You know you've been a machinist too long when.....

It is in X6

Are you familiar with planes by geometry? Not that you have to for this example, but all you need is 2 lines to represent X&Y (positive direction if you can)

like this? solid extrude create body with the big one, solid extrude cut body with the small one..... EMASTERCAM HELP from emastercam.mcx-8

I can get got 2 hrs out of a supermill at 400sfm. over and over and over and over again.

analyze angle has 2 options. john mentioned the first (2 lines), although you don't need a perpindicular plane, there is a radio button for "3D". The 2nd is 3 points. (which also works in 3D) If you're working with solids, you don't need any wireframe to use either method.
