Not sure what version you are using but in version 9 the bottom and back default tool planes are reversed and you have to write new ones by edit copying the top tool plane. HTH

Save it to the FTP and I can covert it to a Parasolid XT version 10. Should get ya going.

Question for you Lathe Guys
d00d replied to Jamie Betz from InterTech Supplies's topic in Industrial Forum
d00d teh wondering what kind of Martin he could get for a tweaked post? Maybe a D-45? -
Glad I could help. Doesn't happen often there are so many gurus on here but feels good when I can.

Still using version 9.1 here and not sure of X . You seem pretty knowledgeable so this may sound trivial but thought I'd mention it. Does X have the safety zone in in job setup like version 9? This solved allot for me.

Hmmmm NE one?

Bernie, Is repair something I can run from within the software? Or a item on the Disk menu? Or basically re install over the seat that is installed? Thanks.
-
Yes the file is there, just for some reason when I change views and other various command on the bar it searches for it and doesn't find it.
-
Whenever I change views, Zoom, post, several menu options a window pops up and states "The Help File, C:Mcam9HelpCS.HLP, Could not be found. What's This? Help(Help within Dialogs)will not be available without this Help file. Would you like to search for this file now?" Also will not "find" Help files to even research this. Seems to work fine other then having to choose no on the popup everytime I change views etc.... Anyone ever ran into this before? I would like to fix this without reinstalling MasterCam. Using Version 9.1.1

That's it Columbrew! Thanks you just made my saturday peacful.

I know what it is lol Ya'll are missing the point. My new boss is a SALESGUY, he doesnt even know X Y Z I wanted the super long version that I think James posted a couple of years ago to keep him in his office all weekend. I think printed out it was 3 or 4 pages long. Sorry just being me usual evil self here.
-
No was th Loooooong version But thanks for looking
-
My new Boss wants me to explain Inverse Time Feed to him. Not gonna happen. Someone on here posted the ENTIRE definition one time formulas and all. (James I think) Isearched the entire forums 2 times and cant find it. Does anyone have it handy? I want to lay the "uber dork" definition on his desk and watch him scratch his head.
-
If you are using the preset back and bottom Cplanes they may be backwards. I'm ot sure of X (still using 9) you have to actually create your bottom and back views to keep X from swapping ends so to speak.
-
You may also want to check and make sure your post is releasing the brake or rotary clamp on your 4th axis.

Bump,....Very interested to see what's out there.

+1 to John and flowline, much more cutter control. Some parts with multiple angles I find simpler to create Indexing planes and surface finish contour/ parralel etc... machine if I get in too deep with the 5 axis stuff. HTH
-
BTW I was noticing on your file that all your surfaces normal inward, Not sure if it matters but the guy that helped me get started said this was a "no no". I'm not sure I have allways normaled facing out since. Maybe someone smarter than I can tell me if this really makes a difference. If you know heavy please advise?
-
I would create surfaces (for saftey measure) over the ejt pin holes to keep from rolling them. Then I would create boundry boxes in the smaller places using the appropriate largest cutter I could fit and use surface finish contour. Yes in sections like you said. HTH
-
I've had trouble with an elderly machine here reading code generated from spines (to many points i think). I converted all spines to arcs and it fixed it. Just a stab in the dark. In case one of the gurus here strikes out
-
It's been my experiance with Iscars that they hardly ever cut to size anyway, so I usually leave .025 PS. If you are leaving grind stock for after heat treat I would lie to mastercam and over size the cutter OD so you dont have your grind stock plus your stock to leave on drive surfaces in "Z" post heat treat. I run the iscars about 70 IPM and .030 per pass on a pocket. I do recomend a Feed mill though for pocketing. But if you're more comfy leaving .050, you can ALLWAYS take to much stock off.
-
What size button cutter heavy? Iscar?
-
Yes it will machine flats. That is wht I said start at -.001 earlier.
-
what type of toolpath? I'm guessing a surface path with a radius tool?
