  1. how about just contour with 3D chain and some multi-passes 3D_FACE_EXAMPLE test 3d contour.mcam
  2. cool thing about haas is their easy to use and have all the information easy to find / access of all the machines I have ever Run they have been the easiest to learn. from all the haas videos and online forums, wish all machines had that kind of support. HAAS has by far the best learning web site I have ever seen. wish I was running one now, all okumas now
  3. if ai were just starting i would probably go with something easy UMC-1500-DUO | 5-Axis Mill | 40-Taper | Vertical Mills – Haas CNC Machines would love to have one of these HAAS duo
  4. interesting tool path never used it before, but I can see its uses. I messed with it a bit and could not get it perfectly "clean" as far as the retracts go , tried to upload zipped file no couldn't get it to load though.
  5. c axis tools in top orientation button clicked in back plot settings
  6. so Bob , ? I was wondering how the experiment on the hours went. It's been a while since original post.
  7. still though, it raises a question that was answered and may just help the next guy
  8. You can also go into the geometry, right click on the chain and get the start point and move it any where along the chain .
  9. this same thing has been happening to one of my padawans , driving me nuts , works fine for everyone but him , he just loaded MC last week and I cant get it r=to display no matter what , sure weird
  10. ha ha very funny caught me with my mouth open .. happy new year and hopE you had a merry Christmas #DANNER BOOTS ROCK
  11. went through the same problem not too long ago UMC ROTARY CUT topic , never really did get the effect i wanted from master cam , ended up hand coding for the rotary axis cut.
  12. I'll second this statement x1000 , having been there before , tried 2 years to get a post right before scrapping it and going back to ONE CNC . the other guy supposed to use esprit on the integrex had to have a tech come in every time he tried to program it .
  13. Surfacing Calculator.xlsx check this surfacing calculator I had made for me . results in an even vertical horizontal finish looks like diamonds finish, for easier fine finishing . step over =sq root of H*8*r H=CUSP r=RADIUS OF CUTTER IPM= f*rpm*CL f=FLUTES CL= CHIP LOAD
  14. I see that you can buy plug gauges for that but I haven't seen a tap , thread mill? the same description / call out is in the machinist 23 edition hand book ... good luck with that G
  15. WOW ! Great thinking Bob , I would be really appreciative if that were the case where I am employed . I'm sure your guys will come together and make it happen . what's not to like about that DEAL ?
  16. that's pretty close thanks for the tip
  17. Well seems that Solid Sweep has gone through some changes and not working like it used to when I first started using it 20+ years ago. I would have done it exactly like you did using that print. Part passed inspection and customer is happy then life is good. I can create the solid shape using the start and end chains as shapes drawn in holes at the correct place. I rolled the geometry using splines to give me good sides to work from verse the lines. If you made the toolpath from the splines your toolpath would have been smoother that just using the lines also. Here is a link to my file and I got something that looks okay, but still wonky in my opinion. Link here's another slot slit I cant get my head around , I am not a lathe guy but when they ask me for help I can usually fake my way through .. I have been messing with this for hours , cant seem to get the combo for the rotary dia to the chain to cut on angel , any help would be appreciated as usual 839-A64364-001_A lathee test share copy.mcam
  18. thanks for the lesson crazy millman
  19. 40.7 appears from front view still working top
  20. angle slot on dia DONE.mcam BOLEEN COMMON THEN SUBTRACT oh that'sts not correct
