I work with heavy materials much. I worked with the tool of various firms such as Sandvik , Seco ,Kenametal But on the experience I was convinced that in the best way for heavy processing the tool approaches - ISCAR and Hanita I recommend to try a solid carbide roughing endmills series - ECR (IC-900) and finish mill ECH (IC-900) Plates for Facing mill - APKT 1003 DTR-76 IC-928 and OFCR 07T3 IC-928 With this tool I receive fine result.

For James I shall explain a question. I have a plenty of parts (more than 1000) everyone has an own serial number (engraving) To create on each part the separate program it it is not logical..... To create special macros- it is difficultly for me, I am afraid that I can not make it. Probably there are special modules for Mastercam which it is possible to build in the program? Where it is possible to get such support? I use Mastercam 8,1,1 postprocessor MPMASTER machins Hitachi Seiki VS-40 and VS-50 I am sorry for my not enough good English (to have frequently to use the dictionary) Many thanks for the answer!

I have problem. I have set details ,and on each detail it is necessary for me to write number. On each detail number should be changed For example - 1000/123-0001...0002....0003...0004..., etc. - all than 1000 details there are more. I shall be very grateful if somebody will offer the decision of this problem.
