    C-AXIS LATHE

    Thanks. It still posted the same numbers. I will try to just manually reverse the c values.
  2. Good morning. I have a problem with the c-axis going the wrong direction. This doesn't matter for most of the parts I have done, however this casting I have to make it does matter. The c-axis is moving the opposite way than it is in verify. Is it a setting in the control def.?
  3. Multiaxis, Parallet cuts or Parallel to surfaces. Both should work.
  4. I'm with you on this one. I guess the truth hurts.
  5. There are xxxxing with you because you are right. They just can't admit that M.C. sucks

  6. I have this part that has a custom thread. When I set up the threadmill process I added the major dia and now it is greyed out. Can some one take a look at the file. I'm pretty sure I need to add the .0925 lobe radius on the tool to the major dia in mastercam. When you render the part you can see what I mean if I'm not to clear. The I.D. of the thread should have a full radius. 28046.MCX-5
  7. Mcfadden Dale hardware is a good place to try.
  8. You can save the config from one of your pc's and give a different name, then copy and paste in the correct location on the other pc's. Then at the bottom of the config page select which one you want. You also have to set it in you startup page.
  9. I just did a impeller and silhouette boundry did not give me the correct representation of the part, because of the blades. However, create turn profile did the trick.
  10. I have never used the custom drill cycle. Could you show some screen shots?
  11. Not sure if there is a way for this. Why don't you just manually change the program? G1 z-.500 F5. , G1 Z-1. F100. , G1 Z-1.500 F5. Something like this.
  12. Draw your stock on a different level. Then in your stock setup choose revolve and select the geometry.
  13. Create a plane from the bottom and run the same toolpath again. It will be two ops, but this will be an easy solution.
  14. I didn't realize I was slamming anyone.
  15. I know it's an easy fix, however this is a production shop and the boss just wants the machine running. If I get some down time I will get this resolved. It's not my shop so I have no say.
  16. Nice job. This will be very helpfull.
  17. They sure did. I used gibbs for years and the shop I'm at uses M.C. I still have to use M.C. here but I bought gibbscam for contract work. Hit me up if you know anyone looking for a contract programmer.

  18. Yes I mean the code. If I got with in-house solutions I'm sure they would fix it, however everything is so hot. You know how it is.

    Gibbscam

    Just purchased gibbscam today. Don't have to worry about bugs anymore.
  20. We have had nothing but problems with the post transfer. Here is a program I cut and paste in and make minor ajustmensts. This is from a program we run every month. Hope this helps. Tranfer.txt
