    Old school IGS file will be smaller than Parasolid. Also in Mastercam, if you save all solids as wireframe and surfaces. The file will be smaller. But , I do prefer to work with solids.
  2. FROZEN
    Surfaces actual take up less room than solids.

    Try command Tooling follow the link below https://www.commandtooling.com/accessories

    Shoot me a DM if you would like to learn more about TopSolid.

    RFID is the way to go. But a little expensive. The pic below is available from any tool holder manufacturer.

    AS far as I know, the Haas control does not have what you are looking for. Makino's FMS has what you are looking for. You could use a macros on the Haas to do that. But it would be very complex. But doable.

    Do you have Do you have Mastercam using all of the CPU on the Xeon? You can control that in the settings, same place you tell mastercam to use the graphics card. The graphics card is another thing you should check. Make sure mastercam is using it.

    I'm still giggling

    Have you guys ever looking into TopSolid???

    Do you need sharp corners? If not use a bull noise endmill with a .03 corner radii. Try the machining advisor pro from Harvey Tools. I have had great luck using feeds and speeds on 17-4. https://www.harveyperformance.com/machining-advisor-pro/

    I 2nd that!!! it's in a safe mode for a reason.

    Forget I mention anything, G87 is a bore cycle in milling. I'm going with marco is your best bet.
  14. FROZEN
    Would it be possible to use G87? That is peck in a radial drill cycle for Doosan lathe. It pecks in X axis.

    You might be able to find a manual here http://nicecoder.com/edm_instruction_manuals.pdf

    Harvey Tool has a machining advisor pro that works awesome.
  17. FROZEN
    No worries, we have been there. Just keep in mind that the only stupid questions is the one you don't ask.
  18. FROZEN
    Run the tool path in back plot and you will see the corner radii of the insert touch the surface of the part.

    Some days I think Gorillas have more finesse.
  20. FROZEN
    Add a fan after each depth of cut. Check out the video below.

    The water you start with is just as important as the coolant oil. Check for hardness, your coolant salesman should be able to help out.
  22. FROZEN
    Are you not happy with the Xeon??? any issues??? I thought that's what you want for CAD/CAM??
  23. FROZEN
    You are not the exception

    I think you should consider the cost of a part to cycle time. If you're ok with losing a part because of a broken tap than tap a way. Taps do and will break. I prefer thread milling to tapping for the only other reason. If the thread mill breaks, you replace the tool, blow out damaged hole and rerun thread mill. The part should be savable. If you are going to tap??? I would use a form tap and drill ream to remove any work hardening. So, pilot drill leaving about .015 to .030 per side.

    Try this guy its $300 http://www.ncplot.com/
