We have our ball emills reground (just the tip) and recoated.We use them time and time again. It is very hard to justify the cost of a new ball emill to do every job we do.

Do a search for Pig Putty. It works pretty well.

Machining stand up letters in graphite?

We have made a lot of electrodes like that. Diamond tooling is for sure the best but, you will become limited in the smaller sizes of cutters. -
Directx 9.
-
Actually we have the same card. I would have to agree it is probably the card though.
-
Use one every day never seen any activity like that. Did it just start doing it?
-
I would like to see scallop height on Surface finish contour and Project blend it would be nice if it was set up like flowline so you can still choose stepover.

Check out Hitachi tool they are supposed to have a great coating for stainless pretty aggressive tool if memory serves ne correctly.

I don't believe Okuma has changed there programming format in about 25 years. Or at least the last 12 years I have been runnung them. Ran a 1974 Lc40 and it has the same format as our 2002 Crown. Same with the mills.

Nice work around.

How about the ability to extrude a face?

Anyone using Cimco HSM performance Pack?

Lucky, If you are doing alot of hardmilling with multi surfaces you really need to try this. Material is always engaged in a helical fashion,smooth transitions always, great leftover cuts, and the calculation time is unbelievable.We work on large plastic injection molds and we really wonder how we got by without it. The best part I found was that I didn't have to change my posts or set-up sheets so we were able to run right away. Just the pocketing and contour passes are worth the price alone. -
If anybody out there has not tried an Iscar feed mill yet they don't know what there missing. That is the absolute funnest cutter I've ever ran. We ran a 2.5 cutter in High Hard P20 (38-42 RC) 800 rpm 240 IPM .06 DOC 1.25 stepover with a 8' gage length I removed almost a ton of shavings in a hurry.

We run Techno Magnets every day. They are a god sent for mold work. I don't believe that they produce a magnent that fails during power outage. Actually when the magnent is energized that's it you pull the plug till until you want to release it.
-
Just out of curiosity, we have a lot of EDM equipment is a wireless network capable of running in that type of enviroment?

quote: I'm pretty happy with my Fadal, but may pick-up something better, not because I'm dissatisfied, but because so many of the high-and-mighty are going out of business. They couldn't make enough money to pay for their high-end machines.I completely disagree with this. I will guarentee you that the chinese shops that our taking our work aren't running Fadals. If we had not invested in two Makino's and a big bad Okuma we wouldn't be in business right now. It's all about how fast can you get it done.
-
I can't wait till check surfaces are added. Other than that it's a great product.
-
You are going to hate your Fadal after you start running it. If your not running diamond tooling for your carbon you definately want to look into that. We have a V55 coming in on Monday we're looking really forward to it. We have found that our SNC will produce electrodes about 300% faster than our Fadal.
-
That sounds all to familiar.We did that exact same thing about two years ago.Did you get a 30k spindle? The only thing you should worry about is getting things done faster and better than before. Make sure you go to Makino's die mold process training.

MillMan, try it your gonna like it!!

I've been using Cimco HSM for about 5 weeks now. The motion of the toolpaths are really nice and smooth, what I mean by that is all the paths always enter the material in a helical fashion. Tool path calculation is unbelieveably faster than normal MC, and is is also pretty darn stable. One of the biggest rewards is the leftover paths in roughing and finishing, it calculates it about a 1/4 of the time and usually has a great result from the start. We do a ton of hard milling on molds and I'm not quite sure how we got along without this add-on.

Worked fine in Sp1.My Satin.dll file was created on Aug,26 and it is 156kb.Also, I didn't load the app related patch in Sp1.
-
Has any one else tryed a SAT coversion in Sp2? I tried today and it doesn't seem to work at all.

Call an OSG rep they will dial you in.

I think the boss man should spend the money and buy a real lathe, but that probably is not gonna happen.
