Hi all I have a part here that I am going around and chamfering all the sharp edges. My problem I am getting is when I chamfer a profile with 45 deg angles the tool shows that it is cutting deeper on the 45 angles. Now this is just in verify so I'm not sure if this is graphic related. I put a sample of what I am getting on the FTP site. MCX folder-chamfer test.mcx If someone could take a look I would appreciate Thanks Mike

There sure is John How much would having solids benifit me on this part? I am not to familiar with it I keep meaning to get a demo from my reseller.

Hi all, Have a part here that I am deciding weather to quote or not. It is a part designed for a mold but the customer wants a machined quote also. I only have mill level II so I think I'm limited. The file is on the FTP site in MCX folder named mill level2.mcx If someone can take a look and let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks Mike

exactly Terry...hmmmmm

Bump... Wow John not even you on this one?....lol

Hi all I just switched a job to a different machine. On the first machine there is a 24 station carousel and on the second machine there is a 14 station carousel. I have both numbers in my MD/tool changer group correctly. When I switched the job to the 14 station machine it alowed me to, even with tool 24? Any ideas? Thanks Mike

nm...found it

Hi all What category is this under in keymapping??

Paul John's suggestion worked great. But you are correct there were a few M11's I did have to go in and delete because I did not want it to rotate when I had a tool change. I want the next tool to work at the last rotation. I'm a little busy today but I will take a look at what you suggested Thanks Mike

Thanks guys thats what I was looking for!

Hi all I know I had seen a thread about what coolant people were using but I can't seem to locate it it. Can someone send me a link? Thanks Mike

Thanks I'll give it a shot

John After getting a little deeper in my program I noticed I need the M11 after the clearance plane. This is what I get now: G80 M11 G0 Z4. This is what I need G80 G0 Z4. M11 Any suggestions? Thanks Mike

John Thanks alot that was exactly what I needed! Saved me alot of editing

Thanks Joun I'll give it a shot and let you know.

John It is a haas indexer with its own control that I have to program by hand. All I need my main program to do is send signal (M11) for it to index. I was thinking something in the canned text parameters could do this could do this??

Hi all! I need to have my post put out an M11 to tell my indexer to rotate. Can anyone tell me how or where in my post I need to put this? Here is a sample program. I need the M11 after the G80's Thanks Mike N110 T1 M6 N120 G0 G90 G54 X-1.7507 Y1.19 S2500 M3 N130 G43 H1 Z4. N140 G98 G81 Z2.315 R2.475 F10. N150 Y0. N160 Y-1.19 N170 X-4.2507 N180 Y0.
