If it exist going to have to use the ansii numbering for that. Found it here: Ansii for the sigh you are looking for

Need to point out what you are referring to I cannot see it.

Decrease the step over, but it doesn't help in the upper section or use a different toolpath in that section.

On operation 3 use travel limits to help control the steep swinging of the tool 50 degrees seemed like a sweet spot. I wouldn't use automatic on that shape I would use one curve and parallel to the top edge to get motion that would be better suited to the tool and machine kinematics. I also recommend you spending some time to learn the in and outs of linking. Get away from Automatic on them. That is a lazy programmers way to hope they get good results. Know what you know by taking the time to learn each of these. Here is a link to the file with some small changes. Dropbox Link

If more than 1 minute same thing. Save the file and force it close.

Never stop a stock model that way. Save the file and close Mastercam that has never worked for me and I test it on every release.

Companies are putting people into space doing this. You cannot make this stuff up which is the scary part about all of this.

With that kind of logic have the put in Cell systems to leverage 100% up time on the machines? Do they have redundant pallets and use parent child tools on the machine? Let me guess they show up to the INDY care race in a 1962 VW bug and wonder why they don't even qualify for the race. Not leveraging what you have means they lack a true understanding of what computers do and how they work. Does every machine in your shop running 100% spindle load 100% of the time? You are falling short if you are not with this stupid logic. If that tap is not using 100% spindle load every time you are tapping the you have failed as machinist in their eyes. Do they drive their cars at max RPM through all gears and make sure they are driving at 200 mph every where they go? No way just an excuse to penny pinch due to their lack of understanding and making up ways to do it. This right here reminds me why I am not a good employee. I went out and bought my own system at the last 5 machine shops I worked in. I showed the owners I was willing to put my money where my mouth was. Think any of the gave me a bonus for making them more money than they were ever making? No way no how, but I know what is the right way to do my job and if needed a tool I bought it. I still have over $40k of Precision hand tools. I sold $40k of tools those last 5 shops because I had better tools than they did. Takes money to make money and sit down and figure out how much time each programmer is wasting in a day waiting. Then multiply it by 5. That is how much profit the company is losing not getting better systems. My answer to them would be the following as I walked out the door. You want to throw away money fine, but don't come complain to me when we have to close the doors because you kept making lame excuses. Will it be night and day different now, but better systems for the programmers is money in the bank plain and simple.

Why are the stock models tolerance .001? Try .005 or even .01 as a tolerance. People who use stock models for verification are wasting time and effort for no good reason in my humble opinion. Why over burden the process for something that is meant to help speed up the process. I run 128GB on a i9 with RTX5000 card and I cannot get away with .001 tolerance on large files. Sorry you have a cracker Jack computer trying to do high end work. Tell management to quit being $1 million foolish and penny wise and get a real professional system.

I had typed out a response similar and just deleted it. Past the point of frustration with all of this.

Dealing wit that now. Rivets for nut plates called out, but not dimensioned or modeled. Follow the model, but not modeled. Not dimensioned, but have to be added to the CNC program. I have history with the customer and found older parts with the same nut plates that were dimensioned so I used those dimensions as my supporting documentation to use with inspection so they can sale the parts to the Rocket Company the parts are for.

Anyone see anything wrong with this machine simulation? Lets release 40 new things and not address the core functionality of the software. I have to submit this to a customer and then explain to them well ignore that and just trust the code and setup sheets I have given you. Dooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh It does show up correct when simulated so I guess there is that.

Even in 3 Axis work using the 5 Axis Engine is better. Ever need to do any undercuts or other things then you know it will be correct. It is not default because Marketing keeps trying to let customers think [sarcasm on]1gb onboard video card with 32mb of ram with a .2ghz processor is all that is needed to run Mastercam[sarcasm off]. The min requirements for computer specs listed are what I wouldn't even recommend to run Windows.

Post a file and get help Imagine that

Yes that would have to be done like #REKD said with axis sub to achieve it. You would need a stock model of the turned stock. Let see if someone else is willing to help out. If not then I will add that to the shared file next week. Sorry putting in a ton of time this weekend on a hot job.

When the dealer sends out an email saying as much yes not good and really making me rethink using a license. I have a hot job with a customer paying a premium forget it done this weekend glad I was not doing my dual boot experiment between Windows 10 and Windows 11. I would have been okay because I have a personal sim.

This process has been greatly improved upon and on an example part like that shows the advancement of this functionality.

No it can be done with Mulitaxis pocket just need to create some geometry is all. Check out my website I was doing this years ago on an impeller with Mastercam, but did use Axis sub and peel mill to make that toolpath. Make nice website for APS Technology Link www.5thaxisprogramming.com I made a solid that looks like this in green. Picked the Wall Geometries: Picked the floor, containment using upper edge and then one slice and got this nice toolpath using an 1/8 endmill. Must have 2024 to see the file. 5th Axis part_2024

I would drill it out then come back and finish it. I would do 2 fins and make a stabilizer block and then do the other fins. I might do all 4 fins and then make a stabilizer block and then finish the inside. I would still drill the inside and then finish with an endmill. Drill is meant to make a hold. An endmill will make the hole, but not made for it. Then you can push the endmill, but this is where Physics kick in to the process and those thin ribs make us slow down not to bend them. Where a stabilizer block to support them will be a hugh help without it then what I was thinking has to be adjusted. Where again a lot of things have to be considered when coming up with a manufacturing process. With the thin ribs I might waterfall them from top to bottom. I might have roughed the part +.05 on each wall. Then came back and water fall finished stepping down with a small flute length, but extended reduced shank. Letting the strength of the material help me as I work my way down. Harvey Tool

Check out the attached from the catalog, Getting into the hole? Drill it out and then use the tool the correct way. No need to helix into the part. Drill a starter hole with a drill or flat bottom drill and then bring this in an rip out the material.

4 Flute I would push it up to 30% step over maybe 50% step over. 11 Flutes I run 3% step over up to 6%. 7 Flute 5% up to 9% Step over, 5% step over on a 4 Flute is watching paint dry. 75 SFM is leaving so much profit on the table not even something I can laugh about. You need some real mentoring and need to bring in someone like myself or Aaron. After one week of either of us in your shop profits will go through the roof.

Stock Allowance Macro work where you can have up to 6 Points? O9820

I have seen up to 400 sfm being run in TI and getting 120 minutes of tool life. Premium tools with the correct coating in a HD shrink on a Makino.

Yes that is what one customer has done for a couple years now and they are lucky they kept their other sims to program with or they would be dead in the water. Making rethink my triple boot setup on this computer. I was heard a rumor the old sims can be reactivated if needed so might pull it out of moth balls and see about switching back after this. I don't normally travel with my personal sim to customers out of fear of losing it, but have to rethink that also.
