something like tips for learning mcam x5

he has it but cant use it

anyways its clear now by downloading and opening rotarys rays and the model that my x6 hle is not the one you guys are using

what should i do

Like turn in on this day

Reviews on that day

And another day next model and about the week for getting it programed

I've got a 1yr old, a pregnant wife and her 2 teenagers, and a 66 hr work week

Just a thought

How about 1a week to give us who have less time so we can have or home work done for Monday turn in review and receive the next project

Something like that?

X2 on the solids

I am working on some more models for us to play with. If you guys have anything in particular you'd like to try let me know. I just finished these two parts. Solids in Mastercam are so much fun.

I still dont have the model

S

thats right

this one seems right, but mine wont open it, says its either a newer version of mastercam or its not a file format recognized by mcam,

well i got x6 hle what could i be doing wrong, simply double clicking the file opens x6hle but empty, then while in x6hle opening the idler+bracket file gives me that message

it has a file size of 0kb level mangaer says 0 entites nothing in operations manager

did i do something wrong cuz its empty

y not save the model as an .stp the hle will still let you open it up and go to work

I couldnt download it, asks for a name and passowrd

even tried an annonymous log on and wouldnt do anything

Swiss expert

I'm okay with design and solid s

Done some 4th axis work, some live tooling on lathe, self taught surfacing so I don't fully understand it as well as others do

Looking forward to learning from others

Anyone who has bought a book on x6 will have it but I don't think there's a link for mass downloading,

I'm down

Great idea

I would xform mirror then xform translate the front to origin

Hope this helps

I realize that description can be a bit direct for someone new to the program

I can explain it better if need be

Turns out it will be aluminum and thanks on all the input makes me feel much more confident in attempting this for the first time

Ya im just lookin for general s to start with, but do you only bring down the feed, and keep the speed same?

Mori vertical im not sure just yet im just spit ball n

1/2 for roughing poops n giggles

Something I may get into shortly and wanted to get the expert opinion s of the emastercam community

Wat kind of surface footage is agood starting point for ramping into carbon steels

Also witch is the better tooling for something like this solid carbide or indexables

Or is a helix entry preferred, either or? Also curious of wat deg of entry is best

That's pretty handy

Mar 28 lunch to 3

Im signed up any fellow emastercamers attending?

Ive got all available views set up in the view buttons even ones I had to customize and save

I got the shade, delete, level manager, set up ill be adding the tool manager now,

Can our own settings be saved, say if I was gonna bring mine on the job with me so I dont habe to manually go through and re set up my buttons the way I like

 

 

You have 0.01 defined as stock to leave on Z,and Clearance of Z set to 0, technically a .01 crash. Set Z clearance to 0.01+ to get rid or warning.

Just finally got around to this again today

Ya that was it thanks alot that bugged me for so long

Im not really sure on how to do this so let me know if they are not in there

but backplot them the one with the radius is where the problems come in and the other i did the same thing and no problem

T1.zip

O ya I forgot for some reason I cannot upload the x6 hle file wth?

Okay ive had this problemin the past and dont remember the solution or why it happens

The one with the radius I did the turn profile

And tells me tool will collide with stock

Well the other one with the angle I do the same thing but I get no collision alarm

I would upload the files but cannot at this moment will soon as I can

It rapids down to x0 when the canned cycle starts for some reason

And this happens all the time with a part that has a good size radius at the front
