WOW!!!!! I dont quite know what I would use it for, but i'll take two thanks! 1000+ to Moto GP

CadCam, I look after 3 workstations all running MasterCam and all using IDE raid controllers. Haven't had any problems with mine.
-
TheePres, Have you contacted one of your tool supplier reps. eg. Sandvik. I generally find they have some usefull information to atleast get started.
-
+100 for TIALN. We use coated tools for all our finishing work. I've cut up to 60 Rockwell without a problem. I run them with coolant and dont appear to get any better/worse tool life than running them dry.
-
If I understand you right, you can model the shape block you want touse. Save it as an stl file, and then in verify, set stock shape to file, and select the file you just created. Hope that helps.
-
+100 for Sandvik. Slower, older machines I dont think it matters so much. Once you start talking 8000rpm + I'd be using sandvik 90% of the time.

TheePres, I don't know if it will help, but I asked the tungsten question not that long ago. Check This one: http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...t=009571#000000 But from my experience cutting it, its not much fun, and I would see if you can get it done elsewhere!!

Kathy, Did you create another Operation group with the same name as an existing one. I found a bug that if you do that, you get a copy of the ops from the original group. If you delete from the new group, it deletes from the original as well.
-
Kathy, My guess is it could be nci. When I mirror a part and re-save as a different file name, it keeps screwing around with settings in gouge check and that sort of thing when I switch between LH and RH files.
-
In Version 10 that is!!
-
I am praying for some major refinement of the WCS View manager. I'm not holding my breath though!!

I use it if I need to, for example, to mirror entities (Copy)and if I then want to rotate the same entities, click on group and select 'current system group'(original) and the current system result (new geometry from the XForm op). For example, If you are xforming a a number of different chains, you only have to select them once! Much Quicker!
-
I agree with Peter, Save ops to library, then get from library for the new model. All coments, and paremeters will be the same. Just need to re-select geom. Works for me!
-
If You select all the ops you want to change, then right click, options, edit common parameters. Change what you need to and it will cahnge all selected ops.

Shift key and mouse wheel gives you forward and back in IE.

Nice little clip Keith, Thanks for that.
-
I believe V10 is due out in the middle of the year. I haven't seen a post for a while on what people want (and don't I guess). So, lets get it happening. Bring it on!!
-
All the way from Australia. Toolfab, you certainly have a challenge ahead. If the boss gave me that model I would be looking to get it done elsewhere. Good Luck.
-
I agree with CAM disciple. I would be checking the energy saving features. On my pc, I can set it to go into standby automatically, but if it is set to turn the power off to the hard drives (which are in a RAID setup) I cant 'wake up' the pc. Hard reset is the only solution.

We make a lot of alluminium gravity dies. The tungsten is used for a couple if 3" tall inserts in the cavity that are subject to high amounts of wear. Normal hot-work die steels dont last.
-
From what I know, it is made to order, out of germany I think. For a piece 100mm x 100mm x 30mm (4"x4"x1 1/4") is about US$450. Not something you want to screw up.
-
IZN, You are correct, but this doesn't have any carbide in it. Just tungsten.
-
The material isn't copper. I dont know what the exact combosition is, but it is mostly tungsten. I would say it weighs 2 or 3 times more than any othe steel I have worked with.
-
Has anyone had to machine tungsten. I had to do it a couple of weeks ago and had a lot of problems. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
