i hear you loud and clear
i'm the one who trained this one operater
how to run the machines.now it seems i
don't know anything. he will hit the
button and walk away.can you here the crash
yea some times like Toolfab said, your
going to screw up.but a good operator will
catch it on simple things. we were doing
somethine new the other day and i told the
operator to keep your eye on this one
program. his response? f@#^%$ that i'm just
hitting the button and walking away. well the owner was there and guess what, good program
bad operator. seems he didn't have his tool dia
in his offset and well that pocket had to be half
the cutter bigger any ways.operators response?
i didn't know it had tool comp in the program.
duhhhhh we do this all the time don't ya know.
so i asked him why was the offset set at zero,
why don't you leave half the cutter in there at
all times.operators respone? umm i don't know
yea ok. so have good day all

okuma we have to put in half of the cutter
size in when we use tool comp. maybe check
your x,y stock to leave box see if it says o
marty
well thanks everyone this is what i did
i had to go with the ramp and no comp on the 1/2
dwls. i made the hole .5015 and got it to go.
i told them it was a no go with what they wanted
i hope the ramp comes out ok i will know in the morning
again thanks everyone oh yea they wanted this last week, but didn't bother to tell me so i could
play around with it.
marty

if i use a smaller cutter how do i put tool comp
in a helical cut. if i can get this to work he
might buy it.thanks again
marty

hard cutting dowel holes useing the helical way.

so many times we will get an odd ball size
rad. so just get out the whirly and grind it
on. but we just buy the cutters with the rad on
much easier. and there not big $$$

you didn't have an email so here goes
go to hpphoto.com
then upload your photos to there
once uploaded, there is a "create link for auction" link,that will give you the url that you need to post a photo in the forum.
when in the forum "message" box you will
select "image" then paste your url in the box. it's pretty easy, if i can do it.
make sure you delete the http:// that is already in the box. if it is there twice it won't work.
hope this helps you out this imfo was given
to me when i needed help. have good day
