What model hermle or Datron? Ball park price range? What reasons/features make that your pick?
-
What would be you're dream machine for a quick turnaround prototype environment? Small to medium size medical parts.
-
I believe Harvey tool sells some "plastic" tools that have wiper flats. 1/4" and smaller...
-
When doing tangent lines it also depends on which direction you "wrap" around arc to arc. There's not just one tangent line between two circles. Could be why you got two different results.

mapping shortcut keys for the operation manager buttons

Yep ctrl z here! It's a lil different on x9 but it's there. -
That's friggin awesome bob!
-
Already done with the part but I was just curious for next time around...always like another tool in the toolbox! I'll draw up something later and post it up
-
Say you wanted to do a dynamic style path "spiraling" into the part, but contain the x axis (on a variaxis style machine) to a small area and use c axis to do most of the work... What type of axis control strategy would one put in place here?

Pitch in your little gems that make mcam life easier
JMahon replied to jlw™'s topic in Industrial Forum
Thanks Ron! That vector lines bit really helps me a lot! -
I didn't get a chance to get to it today. I'll try in the morning. Just curious, about how far did it set you back for that custom post? How advanced is this mod? I've got the post documentation from my reseller and a little post experience...think I could pull it off?

On mazaks, is posting G68 in EIA like using wpc shift and index mazatrol? That sounds very useful to us. We have a sort of hybrid programming style where I work. Some guys do all 2d in mazatrol and post the 3d from mastercam. The rest use center of rotation 100% from mastercam. It would be much easier on the operators.

Also put some values in for leads

Yep that's how I do it too

Would this enhancement benifit anyone?
JMahon replied to Thee Rickster ™'s topic in Industrial Forum
I guess you could have faced all the flat areas with a square endmill and your surfacing the 3d stuff... Edit: yes it would be great! -
Yep levels are key to using mastercam effectively. There's prob some YouTube videos on it

Cat40 Thread Whirling?
JMahon replied to Matthew Hajicek - Singularity's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Isn't that video just fancy whiz bang stuff? Aren't most threads on that machine done by tilting to some angle and moving xyzc? -
Cat40 Thread Whirling?
JMahon replied to Matthew Hajicek - Singularity's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
I bet they're nice! I'd love to drive one someday. -
Good luck! Hook it up if u find one. Prob better of using a tape measure lol

Cat40 Thread Whirling?
JMahon replied to Matthew Hajicek - Singularity's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
What's the price range on one of those sized machines? -
What kind of mazak question you have? I've got a lot of 4&5 axis experience
-
Cat40 Thread Whirling?
JMahon replied to Matthew Hajicek - Singularity's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
That's pretty slick. I think I could build one of those fairly easy. -
Cat40 Thread Whirling?
JMahon replied to Matthew Hajicek - Singularity's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Couldn't that be done by kicking your "a" axis to said angle and doing a "y,z,c" movement? On like variaxis style setup? -
We're already running robodrills. Love them. But if a machine 1/2 the price will make my parts reliably...why not??? I'm looking for someone that's ran one for a few years. Maybe I should sign up and ask those guys over on PM
