Niiiiice work. Those Molecular turbo rotary pumps look awesome as well

^^^^^^^^Exactly how I would do it^^^^^^^

there's several ways to do it depending on your circumstances or set up. It must be thought through per shop application.with that being said.....out of everyhting that can be changed in a shop, people are the hardest thing to change If your more open to the idea, ask him for HIS tool list so you guys are on the same page. You change a bit first , then mebbe he will come around.

Kinda sounds like it's missing a correct z clearance or retract value to clear before it rapids back to "home" after the final cut. Hard to say without a view of the toolpath.

I turn mine on at the beginning of multiple toolpath/toolchange programs and turn it off at the end. It goes on after M03 and before G43 and turns off at the end or before drill/tap cycles before G91G28 Z0. Not on and off for every toolpath within the program. I don't use G49 because the next tool callout cancels the previous offset.No G49, no reason to turn back on. Make sense ? Just my thinking, mebbe it's wrong ?? I'm not a post or fanuc expert on this so i don't 100% know the rules either. Is there a difference between how the AICC and AIAPC need to be posted ? I'm AIAPC. I'm curious because what i'm hearing hear, and what's actually happening on our equipment sounds like opposing scenarios. What else (besides machine parameters) can affect this, specifically? I've done alot of reading on this and it seems the common denom is a parameter , or choices by programmers on what they r comfy with.

Have Oi-MC\bridgeport here and not getting that. Used old post from 9(updated) as well as the X5 MPMaster post updated to X6 and don't have that issue. Try not using the G49 ,try G91 G28 Z0 followed by G28 X0 Y0, then T--- M6. The only time we use G49 is manually when the program is stopped in the middle before the next tool callout. Might be a parameter somewhere in toollength comp ?

So i just did a comparison on GS4 drills and Accupro's version( #7 and 5/16).......failed in all aspects. I was curious......don't be....as many of u already know ,i'm sure. waste of money in S7, d2, and DC3 app's. You could see the difference in the chip siz/evac soon as drill was to full dia.

Yup. See it on mine under certain circumstances with G5.1. I have the AI APC so it's pretty basic control. I have found tht you need to do a little R&D with the highspeeds. I'm finding out that there are certain ones in 2D and 3D that will slow ya down a bit. Not worth turning off for me cuz it leads to jerking. But finding the best suited path for geometry happens quite often. Thank god there not huge parts..... For instance using Surf. Area Clearance instead of OptiArea cuz it generates less arcs for this particular geom. While opti would actually cut it a bit faster in backplot, on the machine the area cuts it faster......

Did it work ? Hard to run lights out without 110% confidence

nope good ole fashion dell plug 'er in. About the time I get used to it , I'll get a fix....

Nope . regular mouse.....middle wheel

Anyone else have their dynamic rotate switch direction from X5 to X6 ? :shrug:

Did you check under files in ops. man. to make sure you had the corect machine def. selected for X6 ? Here's what I get when i dont update a file from X5....... oops just saw ur using X5

Yup. once yesterday, once today......didnbt get the axis warning, but went to post and got INVALID FILE NAME under active post. At first I thought it was just from not updating the machine def from X5 data to X6. But even after doing that it has happened on just X6 files...

I lit a smoke with a propane torch..............once lost part of the stache

Holy crap ! My verify is rocket speed on 6 !!! woo hooo!

I'm assuming this is just a preference ? I looks like your just swapping selection order . Mebbe something to do with the addition of multiple machining regions..... or mebbe i'm missing something. Haven't really used it much , just loaded yesterday.

Perfect. Thanx Terry !

oops....disregard the double screen screen shot

Anyone know who makes this style cutter with a 5 deg. taper instead of 7 ? Need something 2mm or smaller for hardmilling 56-60 Rc. I can substitute , but ideal would be 5 degree if anyone knows offhand.Sraight releif is just so weak...and anything greater than 5 deg. rubs and I have to whirlie it down on sin plate...

If you use this site as a curriculum resource for throughout your career, you will just plain know more and make more money I can't think of any higher praise than that

Great! Glad you found it !! No nethasp here......

Welcome Victor

Do you have the appropriate boxes checked in your control def. under nc output ? Did you go thru machine def. not just control def.? Dosen't stick unless I go thru machine def.

That's just funny coming from a username of "peon" sorry man it needed to be said. j/k man , it's all good.... mine's got geek in it
