_{This might be a stupid question but should I load X9 Beta separate or replace my X8?}

In doing my due diligence on exploring workholding options, this system has been brought up to review.....

 

I have done some literature reading & pursuing YouTube for information.

 

Having done all that I wanted to ask if anyone has any real world experience with this workholding system?

 

I am aware there are others out there and those others are also under consideration, I am looking for info on this system specifically....

If your electrodes aren't overly large check out Quick Change tooling (St. Paul - MPLS area) they combing a 3R block with there own idea.

Been using this combined system for 12 -13 years now. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Snowing in Colorado>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

^{Again many thanks to ALL of you that helped. I sure do appreciate the help all of you have done over the years.}

_{ok..... Thanks a lot guys}

OK OK I get the message - some of us have to actually work for a living - just a joke

I program on B side (WCS for it) and I program A side (and WCS of it) and I go back to working on B side, bringing up its WCS also as soon as I pick some geometry (I'm in ISO) it jumps to TOP or sometimes jumps back to A side WCS.

Why does my WCS jump around?

Hello forum,

Is there a way to estimate actual drilling time (including pecking time)?

Errr, the icon didn't show if your coolant was on or off. It didn't work.

Mine did

Even though it did not work properly. It was nice to at least see If you had coolant on or off with out going into your'e parameters to check.

I agree! actually that's all I need

it was a really good idea that never worked properly

and, I'm guessing, they felt it never was going to work properly so they killed it.

Darn.....I really liked it!

Thanks G Code.....

CNC Software reply!

What did Mastercam get rid of the coolant on/off area when they went from X6 to X7?

good advice!

code to turn off toolpaths when you first open up a file?

Thank you very much Crazy Man -------

I have no idea what u r talking about

I do relies I have to go into config......

My wire frame hidden lines used to be visable now it defaults to no hidden lines - I would like to set it at "dimmed wire frame"

Thanks

Thank you thank you forum, esp> Crazy^Millman

Crazy^Millman gave me the answer I need to set my wire frame settings permanently. (Answer) = line 8023

I have another one;

How Can I set my setting so that I don't see cutter paths when I open up my files?

Thanks everyone!

Cjep .... that was it. Amazing all these years and that never gave me problems before. seems to switch back and forth by itself - but at least i know where its at to change it to where i want it.

Thanks again.

Paul

Colorado -----snow today

Thanks....no not shading.

And Verify (not sure where to find this) i'm not cutting yet - still drawing.

Huge brain freeze maybe!

i'll try and explain,

Ussually you can see the dowel pin hole or bolt hole all the way thru my solid.

For some reason I can't see that happening.

I can't see my hidden lines.

I know its functioning correctly because I can turn my block upside down and see its cored all the way thru.

Hello forum,

I need help,

when I used to core out a solid I used to be able to see it all the way thru my solid.

Now when i core it out I can't.....any ideas?

Thanks

Paul

why?

one more forum,

Why doesn't X7 show the coolant on/off in the tool path with out opening it up?

i just made "points" picked them and had the same thing happen..

Thanks Ray, how do I submit a bug report?

thanks Ray

if your not having the issue then your not having the issue.

i don't want a big dragged out how to pick points

I've done this for years - I am careful - But why am i having trouble now?

thanks for responding,,,,keep em coming
