I program mostly HMC and am proud to say I have never used transform while running up to 64 parts per pallet.

If you have true 316 SST there should be no problem but true 316 barely exists anymore. If you have what is the now normal 316/316L you might want to start with 25 to 50 holes and take a look at your drill. The included low carbon of 316L is your drill's enemy.

I've been getting that every once in a while since 2022. I just erase everything and draw it up again. It's very rare that It will show up twice.

We just pull our files out of of the file server using transfer software. It never lets us down.

You're better off following Colin's suggestion. Why write added code when you can just turn it off.

Our database is showing Malco Saw Co. as having carbide slitting saws.

That has been around for a while. Any two (or more) same number tools will trigger that message which is around 75% of my files.

Draw your own zigzag geometry as you want the path to be and use contour.

I wrote a program for that a while ago that's on this site. I have no sense of time but I would guess three to five years ago.

You can do a search for Parker SAE tools. There are many companies manufacturing them. We use Arch tools to make ours but sadly they are closing down the Fort Wayne shop where we had ours made. I'm sure one of their other shops will continue making them.

We farm that crap out nowadays. If you want people to start using up their vacation time, put them on the phenolic running machine!

Most of the holders can be brought in from the maker's sites for free. One post late...

We do this every day on our fourth axis horizontals only the 4th axis home location is a variable to allow the same program to run on several machines. Our program zero points are coming off of each piece of material that's running.

Oscar, Do you use Kipware? If so, are you satisfied with how it works? I'm looking at this software to convert Fanuc code to Okuma code. They have the package (including Haas for some reason) but there is no mentioning of probe data storage/retrieval as needed or Dprint conversion. Thanks for any advise you can give.

I'm pretty sure V3.1 and V4 were floppies. I don't remember if V5 was.

Sorry, I meant V6

I found X6 in its container along with a utility dvd and a What's New dvd.

I've dynamic milled from a Ø1" x 6" long end mill to a 2mm x 20mm long neck end mill. You do what you gotta do.

We use this macro on our Fanuc controls before our tool setters do their thing.

Not enough information. N1 #101 = 0.1250 Are N1, #101 and 0.1250 each separate variables or is this a hard line that never changes? If variables, where are the three variables stored for retrieving purposes?

Note: Every time you get a Windows update Onedrive will reinstall itself. You can delete One drive where ever you have it again and it should be good until the next Windows update. Just make sure you clear the data off of Onedrive before deleting it.

I have a bad habit of somehow adding crap that shouldn't be there.
