  1. thad i dont know if this is what you are asking but i analyze dynamic click on a surface you want to analyze.in the lower left corner shows you x,y,z and radius infor
  2. overburn you put on a electrode is for the amount of power that you are going to use while burning. i come up with my overburn by the size of the electrode and in 3-d causes by the minium radius sizes on the contour.... one thing to remember is that when using graphite for your electrode you cant burn with more than 50 amps per square inch.
  3. if you cant make it right!! make it look good!!!
  4. i deal with left and right hand parts all the time...what we do is just reverse the path and mirror the program at the machine... therefore the cutter is climb cutting on right and left hand parts....

  9. WHEN I WANT A TOOL TO STOP BETWEEN ROUGHING AND FINISHING... CALL THE SAME TOOL UP AGAIN...SO YOU WILL HAVE 2 TOOL BUT THEY ARE THE SAME SIZE AND SAME TOOL NUMBER... I HOPE I EXPLAINED THIS GOOD ENOUGH
  10. I use 10-15 tool also and I call the table zero. so all I have to do is call tool up and touch it off with a gage block. And I run the tool at the speed it will be running at for like 30 seconds or so. before setting it off the gage block. I do this because I find the tool holder gets sucked up a couple tenths when running at high rpm's
  11. thanks for the infor but what i had in mind was in a 3-d path so my tool wouldnt hesitate when it changes direction.
  12. when you lie about the cutter you get a xy orbit or a flat orbit. when using negative stock you get a spherical orbit or a 3d orbit.
  13. IS THERE A WAY TO GET MASTERCAM TO GIVE TOOL MOVEMENT IN A SHARP CORNER OR A CORNER WHERE YOUR TOOL IS LARGER THAN THE FINISH RADIUS.
  14. CALL THE TOOL UP AGAIN FROM THE LIBRARY IT WILL GIVE YOU A TOOL CHANGE FOR THE SAME TOOL IF YOUR POST IS SETUP THAT WAY
