Been using Jergens Ball-Lock system for 20+ years.
I've bought their subplates, made my own but most recently had Saunders make me a custom plate with their grid + a pattern of Jergens ball locks. Very happy with it.
Just pulled the trigger on a new rig.
i9 - 13900, NVIDIA RTX 5000, 128 RAM, 1tb ssd - 2 ea. , Windows 11.
Boxx - $7,612
Titan - $5,510
Xi - $5,463
I'm replacing a Titan I bought in 2017. I had a couple issues early on but their customer service was good so I have no complaints.
I went with Xi this time mainly because of the good buying experience...and gcode vouching for them. Their rep was responsive and helpful with a faster lead-time.
Thank you for this.
It looks like the out of the box mastercam metric taps aren't scaled like they were when you created this library. Is that why you're not using it anymore?
Again, thanks of taking time out of your day to post this.
Is this file still available somewhere? I used this pretty religiously and lost it when my computer took a sh*t.
Reposing it would be much appreciated!
Tried everything mentioned above with the exception of one-drive. It was deemed a lost cause so I wiped the drive with a fresh Windows install and it looks like I'm back in business.
Thanks for looking at this.
One Drive is on my computer but I don't have much in it. Less than a gig. I use dropbox for almost all of my file storage.
I will look into this. I see they have a 'repair tool'
Hi Guys,
Out of the blue Mastercam is not working. This started late last week. I had v9, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 all installed however I've been using 2021as my daily.
This started as an 'unknown error with workspace file' upon launching. Also an error message with 'cant find file location' when trying to post.
I understand workspace files getting corrupt and deleting them and relaunching. That wasn't the issue.
Was on the phone with my reseller and the guys at CNC last night. 3.5 hours. Everyone is stumped.
To this point, we have checked the graphics card settings, windows 10 is up to date and working (unfortunately no restore point). I have uninstalled and wiped all mastercam files from the drive, cleared the registries, reinstalled 2021. It wouldn't launch after splash screen but after I manually added the 'my mastercam 2021' and 'shared mastercam 2021' I can get it to launch .... again with the workspace and posting error...also crashes at closing. If I remove the mastercam.workspace file it wont launch and it wont rewrite a new one.
I'm Running as administrator.
I have gone to the 'my mastercam 2021' folder and allowed permission. One thing that's weird though is when I unclick the 'read only' attribute....it wont stick. I come back after trying to launch and the 'read only' box is checked again.
I've scanned for viruses, uninstalled antivirus software. Used ccleaner to clean registries. Updated drivers. Code meter is working. I have a Dongle...hasp is being read.
All versions of mastercam worked properly last week and all versions started having the same symptoms and errors. There wasn't a windows update just prior to this happening.
We're to the point of wiping the entire C drive and starting over but I REALLY do not want to do that. All my other programs are working fine.
Any ideas are appreciated.
My mom grew up above the arctic circle in Sweden and her ancestors are indigenous reindeer herders called Sami. Supposedly they have 180 words for snow and over 1000 words for reindeer.
Every time I open mastercam 2021 my orderly display of toolpaths/planes/solids/levels are garbled up on top of each other which is annoying.
We recently had a burglary and needed to buy two new monitors. The stupid thieves left the computer, thank god. About a week before that I upgraded (downgraded) from windows 7 to windows 10.
I don't remember when this started happening but I've been using this 2021 on this machine for a while with it opening basically as I left it.
Is there a setting somewhere that fixes this?
