  1. we had a bearing go in our Hass vf3,we have the spindle out but cant find a way to get the belt drive gear off so we can get at the bearings has anyone done this and can you give me some advice.Thanks
  2. sorry ignore my previous post I just realized it was the toolpaths that made the file so big,i have never had a file this big before
  3. just got 2018 installed yesterday.I pulled up an X9 file which was 8MG and 2018 turned it to 80 meg The original file was catia not sure if that means any thing.The file is now huge(to our standards) .Is it some setting in 2018 that's making the file big that we can change Thanks in advance
  4. how can I put a zip to go file on here for some help when its still 20MG
  5. I discovered this feature thanks to Ron a few months back and love it
  6. sometimes there is no easy answer just as long as it works
  7. I didn't know about the direction button either till Ron told me about a month ago,it works great Thanks again Ron
  8. try going into axis control ,rotary axis control and turn on rotary axis positioning
  9. does anyone know where I can get some smooth bore(10mm ID) 12mm OD stainless tubing with close tolerances.I have found some but tolerances are not tight enough for what we need.Thanks in advance
  10. thanks ron that worked out well for me
  11. thanks again murlin I never thought of that I am also going to try rons idea I have never used direction before but it might also work and I always like to try things news.
  12. thanks murlin that works but I was hoping to come out of the cut as close to 90 degrees as possible due to some material still being there
  13. I use flowline all the time but I,m not quite sure what you are asking anyway of sharing file or something similar
  14. sorry wrong file just give me a minute
  15. hey guys can someone help or tell me why my cutter is making some weird z moves before It totally comes out of the part.Thanks mur.mcx-9
  16. sorry guys I just realized there should be a full rad on the cutter
  17. hi guys I,m trying to rough out then finish the blue surface with a t slot cutter but all it does is go straight down when I want it to follow the contour.Not sure if flowline is the right toolpath but is usually my toolpath of choice.Any help would be appreciated mur.mcx-9
  18. F4 button is pretty cool I did not know that, learn something new every day
  19. go to level manager, select button with the arrow on it then select the entity you want, the level should be displayed in the number box in the level manager
  20. I turn on all layers and mirror around the origin the only thing I don't like is that contour cuts always end up on the wrong side you have to go in and change the direction of the chain ,when you do that for some reason the cutter comp will change sides you will have to go into parameters and change it back
  21. not 100 percent what you need but you can create silhouette boundry on anything round or square
  22. from what I can tell a simple 2d contour should work
