We waiting on training for MT and we this rush project we just can't figure out how to machine.

  The last and only feature we having trouble with is 45 degree face with 8 cleats milled. We wanting to use C axis with the head @ 45 degrees.

    I have a MC X9 file attached with no tool path for size. For some reason I can't Z2go it keeps coming up empty in 2017?

  Can someone do a quick example please, really need help with this one.

Thanks

Ron you 100% correct ---  here's one vote

Thank you fellows for the feed back, suppose YoDoug we'll have to get it, although the one we doing now is an even 20 tooth and we did get an Ash Gear RH hob .2618 AXCP?

Well this is a straight in plunge, reseller said we didn't need the option for this one. Just turn the hobb and stock at the correct ratio?

Hello everyone,

    We are trying to program cutting a small worm gear on a Multis. Only I can't find out how to run the M tool @ 260 rpms and the chuck or C axis @ 13 rpms together. We tried an M153 but must be using it wrong or something else.

   Thanks for any feed backs.

Thanks

Russell

Thanks JP we'll contact the reseller see waht goes.

Hello everyone,​  

    We have too many programs for our shop, we have MasterCam (most all add-on's including Mill Turn), Delcam for Swiss machines, Esprit, plus flame and Laser programs

We would be interested in getting rid of the Esprit license .
​   Would this be a big NO-NO or is this something that can be done?

Thanks

Check out G-Wizard

The only very small stock I see is in the roughing pass, so I changed the step over to 70% and seemed to remove it?

Don't understand the planes thing Reko mentioned, Jeff if you could put up a sample when you get I would appreciate.

Thanks

Russell

Thanks Gcode & Tim,

  Great advice, nothing is simple anymore hopefully CG Tech's support is good because I know he'll need help.

I'm out of work right now and semi-retired because of our economy down here, but as soon as things improve somewhat, I'm to go help my son with all this new stuff and looking forward to have fun having problems to solve with him.

Thanks again

Russell

Morning,

   Just wondering how many of you guys use Vericut and is it all it's said to be.

    My son is programming at a new shop where they adding a new Okuma B400 Multis and a VTM 2000YB.

I feel like Vericut would be priceless for proving these machines out, any opinions or comments would appreciated so I pass on to him and his management.

Thanks

Russell

Thanks David that helped me out this weekend

Eactly like mine and I love it

I think I would set to XY plane top of stock Z0 and use 3D contour with wear off adjust feeds for plunging

I won't forget that now JP

Thanks

Thank you for your time, looks like rolldie isn't all what I thought it was, it worked fine on logo engraving before

Thanks again Hardmill

   Ok back again with a problem, this time it's engraving with rolldie, it cutting extra engraving paths?

If someone want to look at the attached file please I would certainly appreciate it. 

Thanks

Russell

 PS: I'll be out till in the morning Thanks

Yes I've used it before, the only thing be careful of over travels, etc., because the control won't show alarms of that sort.

Great guy you are Colin,

Thanks for all your helpful posts in here, I know everyone appreciates them.

Why not make a new level say call it vise and select all the solids and just put in the vise layer, then delete all the empty levels?

Did you try the user applications gear.dll and just extrude it to width if it's a spur gear? 

I agree, you have to make it monkey proof so you can move on with your project
