    Like BillH said, if i double the feed rate, this would be the same thing as slowing the rpm

    I am cutting steel that has a little bit of lead in it 12L15 to be exact. I am doing a simple contour through the part to put a slot on the outside of a cylinder. I am doing this on a 4th axis. The helix angles have stayed the same I believe. I think the problem is that I have lightened the chip load and the cutter is not cutting right. I think I should slow my RPM down from 1000 to around 600. Does this sound right?

    I am running a part in my HAAS VF-4. I am using a 3/4 ball end mill. Before I was using a 2 flute HSS endmill, but I have just changed to a TIN Coated Carbide 4 Flute Ball Endmill. With the 2 flute HSS I was running 1000 RPM and 6.0 IPM. When I run the same feedrate with my new 4 flute coated carbide, it chatters and squeals like a pig. My depth of cut is .2 inches. Any suggestions on how to stop the squealing? Am I trying to cut to much depth?? Any help?

    i saved and restarted mastercam and that worked, but i would still like to know what i did to cause it.

    I am working on a project and have several differnt t planes for indexing purposes. I must have accidently hit a button and my screen is now showing all of the planes that i have created. I can see the outlines of all the planes i created plus the standard planes. It is in the way of my drawing and i cant click on the right stuff, how do i make these disappear again???

    Whats happenin??

    cool, got it. thanks.

    How can I get into my tool planes and manage them, such as deleteing t planes not used or accidently created??

    I have all the parameters set up right but it is still now working, so i guess I dont have them all set up right. When I try to transfer the program, i get two errors: RS-232 Parity Error RS-232 Framing Error How do I get into my DNC setup to change the paritys for the connection?? I can't seem to find it!!!
  11. Namliek_J@TheeCircle™
    ok, thanks. think i got it all set up

    I am trying to set up a DNC connection from my PC to my HAAS VF-4 Milling Machine becuase it doesn't have enough memory to hold the program I need. Does anyone have this setup or know how to do it. I am transfering the program using Mastercam X Editor. How do I set it up? Any ideas????

    i dont have a lot of experience with roll die, but ill look into it

    I need to cut 6 slots on the outsdie of a cylinder. I want to draw all 6 slots around the outside of the clyinder, and then program it from there. I need to tell my program to use Rotary Axis Positioning to position the piece to the right place, but then use Axis Substution to rotate the piece as the slot is being cut to give the slot a helix. Can I do this, tell mastercam to index to a certain position and then use axis substution??

    i am using the Mastercam X editor

    My HAAS is a 1994, and there are no programs in the memory, so I guess I am going to have to call HAAS then. Thanks guys.

    Does any one know if there is a way to increase or add memory to a HAAS VF-4 Milling center. The machine I am running has only roughly 71KB of memory, the program that I have is 167KB and will not fit. I can transfer only 61% of the program before I get an insufficient memory error. How can I get around this???? Any ideas??

    I think this is what my problem is becuae the newest driver avaliable for this video card was realeased on 9/30/2005 and the one on my machine is from 9/7/2004. Hopefully it works. Thanks for the advice.
  19. Namliek_J@TheeCircle™
    I am running driver version: 6.14.10.6467 Is 6.14.10.6521 the newest one avaliable?
  20. Namliek_J@TheeCircle™
    yeah, it is the whole way up
  21. Namliek_J@TheeCircle™
    how do i turn hardware acceleration all the way up?

    I am running an ATI FireGL V3100 video card in my machine that is speced out above and beyone the requirements of mastercam. Is anyone else running this card or having mastercam X crash when they verify a complex part. It was crashing on me when i would transform a toolpath, but now that I have a very complex part that in the end is going to have about 100 operations. I want to verify it before i cut it. QC at mastercam says that they are working on a solution, but some think that it is my video card. Any ideas???
  23. Namliek_J@TheeCircle™
    figures it is right there and i couldn't find it. thanks.

    How can you set up more than one tool path group on the same work piece in X. Lets say I have 6 sets of 5 holes to drill. How can I setup tool path groups to group all of my center drilling together, all of my drilling together, and all of my tapping together for orginizations purposes and make it easier to move stuff around and find it? Any ideas???
  25. Namliek_J@TheeCircle™
    I have already sent the file to Mastercam and QC guy ran it on all versions of X that he has and said that it crashed them all, so he listed it as a critical bug, that was 2 weeks ago.
