  1. Yes sir. Just trying to get a standard. I'm in a job shop and need to come up with a fairly flexible programming time that does not include the fixture design. Just actual part programming. I have always thought there were 3 types of programs: Job Shop, Production Shop, and Tool and Die. I'm looking for an average of the 3. It is a new shop and we are wanting to make sure each process has enough time allotted to them. We are using the times for quoting and have only one 1 bid.
  2. What is the programming time compare to the actual cycle time? I can not remember where I found the answer at. It was some type of ratio that was like 4 to 1. If it took 4 minutes to program then the cycle time would be 1 minute and etc., etc. If you have the data please post it.
  3. I also found the Rigid Tap Cycle in the drop down menu when you choose a drilling cycle. It is located on the tool option where you manually select coolant, speeds and feed, and tool material type. It might be an add on or only available on certain versions. MCX5 has it. I also noticed that you can switch the M29 on or off in the post processor by placing a "#" in front of ptap and then changing the pdrilmisc2 to ptap. I can more details if need but it might take a few days fro me to respond.
  4. What do I edit in the post to get it to output an M29 in the G84 tapping cycle instead of an M3? Or is their an option to change this in the Machine Definition.
