I,m programming a tombstone job on a Matsuura H-Plus 630 machine (different job on every face) and I want to use the center of rotation with only 1 work co-ordinate g54 .The problem is that mastercam is allocating sequential work offset's to the 4 face's ie. g54,g55,g56,g57 and if I try to assign the same offset no. to each face in the t/c parameter tab mastercam mastercam tells me that the work offset is already assigned. What am I missing, not seeing or doing wrong? Post mod.?? button or switch enabled ??

We just had a variant of the sobig virus get past our antivirus software .it affected .exe files all over the network about 25 computers BUT the most worrying for us is that it also got into one of our mazak horizontals with the pc based fusion control !! (permament ethernet connection) lucky we got that one stopped as quick as possible.

Get the designers to save the part with a co-ordinate reference point and when exporting it from solidworks tick it in the option list

Hi Paul did you try look at your operation parameters and check to see if plunge and retract feed rates have a value also in the highfeed page make sure you have a value enterd for the min feedrate.

Mitsubishi carbide have a new facemill for contouring .We are using it to cut pre-hardened aircraft steel at 45 Rc (4340) low surface speed 70m/min and 3.5 mm per tooth 2mm depth of cut with 4 teeth (that's 12mm 1/2" per rev.) I'm a big fan of Sandvik but this thing destroyed it and lasted longer as well.

Brian Scullion replied to Brian Scullion's topic in Industrial Forum
I already had used Alt A 10mins previous to the crash and had orientated the part to a new view the snap shot of this new view was all that was left even though I DID NOT SAVE The file when it was orientated at this point. -
