    Thanks dudes!

    There was a recent thread where some work holding screws were mentioned. They required tapped through holes in the work and a tapped hole in a fixture plate. Does anyone remember what they are called?

    More cows that Wisconsin, eh? Californians = Nacho Cheeseheads?
  4. Harryman
    HEY! Calling Canadians "Cheeseheads" is just not right!!! That's for us Minnesotans use in denigrating Cheeseheads... I mean Wisconsinites.
  5. Harryman
    Sweet.

    Just doing that stuff here too. Asus / AMD 3200+ / 1 gig So many files...

    No way I'm moving to California, but if I did I like to work with His Crazyness. Hey Back Stabber, Don't let the Edoor hit ya on the way OUT!

    Try making a copy of it. Then rename the copy.

    Have you got a picture of this thing? quote: CNC illiterate Bosses should never be allowed to buy equipment We had a boss that bought a super crappy 3 axis / Chevalier thing. It's an organ donor. We stole the power drawbar, power knee, and 220V plug off it... That's it.

    Travis might be on to something there. If several endmills have been broken in a collet, the ID of the collet fingers could be getting deformed into a bell mouth shape essentially making the overhang length greater.

    Great tip Roger!
  12. Harryman
    Yes. If you play Queen on the radio near the tool cabinet some inserts may become accustomed to the drag condition.

    Alas, I can't help with 96 percentile man either, but I'll trade two rabbit rasins and a horse apple for one of them there hampster eggs.

    The G125 shift method Put something like this in front of each EIA process. Pass values for C, X (radial), Y, Z, from the Mazatrol main pgram and you're dancin. M212 G0 C#3 M210 G17 ( X-Y PLANE SELECTION) G125 X#24 Y#25 Z#26 Q0 R1 S0. (RUN G125 PLANE SHIFT) G code based on X0 Y0 Z0 C0 goes here
  15. Harryman
    I'd recommend using the G125 coordinate system shift. Program the EIA routine at 0,0,0 and shift the coordinate system via G125 from the variables passed from Mazatrol main. Go ahead and send a .MC9.

    Welcome. Whatcha running? Integrex 300Y, Mill 3 + lathe + solids here. Got lots to learn.
  17. Harryman
    Good evening, and sorry for the long reply time. Can you explain the goal a bit more clearly? Really busy the last few days, and more busy ones to come. Replies might be a bit slow.

    Try using an angled roughing tool path. It's way better than step. I use it for deep bores in 304 stainless and also for roughing plasma cut blanks OD as well as ID. I run a Mazak too, but anytime I want to do an operation like you are talking about, I step over to MC and crank out an angled tool path. Set the roughing angle the same as your cone and you're dancin'
  19. Harryman
    DON'T DO IT!!! Unless you really need to. And that's the story I'm sticking too. A local guy here did it on a 200SY and he was very sorry he did. If you must, get Mazak to show you every parameter that needs to be changed. It's more than a few. If I remember correctly, you need to redo the entire Tool Data Page, offsets and tool libraries...

    Some people are completely unworthy of the freedom they enjoy. That 'toonist is a complete idiot.
  21. Harryman
    Victor, I'm not sure if I understand completely. Did you create six rough turning operations in Operations Manager? If you did, you won't get all six to post out if MC thinks the material is gone.

    Sounds like you're on the right track Bill. Good posts are key. Guys here will help you tweek the ones you have or set you up to buy killer proven posts. Posts aren't taboo here, asking for free ones is. If tweeking isn't your thing, just dig up a few bucks and get someone to do it for you sooner rather than later. We run an Integrex 300Y. If I could turn back the clock I'd only invest enough effort into Mazatrol to turn softjaws. Here's a thread that includes some tips on file handling on the Fusion control. http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...t=009446#000004

    Welcome Bill. What kind of Mazaks do you have? Are you currently Mazatrol only? Does your shop have G Code experience? Enjoy the forum.
  25. Harryman
    Have you tried RAM saver after you import the solid? I have no idea if it will help. But it might.
