  3. We have 2 going still Like everyone else says A board pukes one day and the next board you get looks like it came from a deep sea salvage operation.. I would take a pass.. Were replacing them with Hurco VM1's as they Get more expensive to maintain. I would take a pass on the M's...
  4. Fonts a plenty http://www.fontfile.com You have to select "install the font(s)" in Your O/S directory Where MC looks for them (.ttf) Winnt / system32 / fonts something like that. [ 12-17-2003, 09:58 PM: Message edited by: Tony ]

  7. I Do not use Auto Save I have alt . set up as Save (Through the cfg.) Everytime I make an important change or step forward in my programming I just roll my fingers forward alt . I'll Decide when and what we save Mr.
  8. Check the Samples that came with the Software. They are in the mill 8. directory. That will give you an idea of what the "New names" are. Flowline in vs. 9.0 is the latest way I tackle that situation.

  12. My mom worked part time at a Factory running the Mimeograph (sp)? in the front office she got me a job there in the back. $2.50 an hour min.wage They had the Leather belt spinning over our heads thing going on. They ran production So that lead to drilling and milling which got my foot in the door for the next place down the road. They are still there today and I bet you could replace 75% of the work force With Robotics. But then What are all those people going to do? [ 12-15-2003, 01:15 PM: Message edited by: Tony ]
  13. I would honestly have to say my worst post Was just the other day when Rjoyner asked about a speed and feed and I Blurted out some junk and the next day Realized he was talking about tapping! of course the speeds and feeds are odd numbered! (Still too fast though) GUILTY Tony
  14. With bullnose cutters the program can be about a 1/3 the size of the flat cutter program. Sometimes I still use flat anyways because I dont want to have to go back in there to pick out the .020 The bull left behind. Tony [ 12-13-2003, 08:15 PM: Message edited by: Tony ]

  20. Very nice & Congradulations! You know a while back (1989) I brought my Newborn into the shop quickly on the way home from the hospital! 1/2 the shop loved it! The other half freaked out "This is no enviroment for a baby"!!!! Once again congradulations Mr& Mrs Millman
  21. Or What. Call me old fashioned but that's to fast. I was raised with the "Save the cutter" theory. Also 249 at 9.8 (Non nominal) tells me Something is calculating this for you.. You could slow it down there, or at the controller to experiment. Edit: Some controllers have a minimum speed For tapping, maybe you cant go any slower?
