ok a question related to this then why would Mill9.exe want access to the internet through iexplorer. My firewall will pop up ever so often asking me that very question. It has happen about dozen time in the last month didnt want to say anything but sicne you guys are talking about it seems like a good time. Crazy Millman

Yeah I got tired of that crap so I uninstalled everyting and started fresh soled alot of the probelms I was havign been good since. Crazy Millman

No Prob glad you were able to get what you needed that is what we are here for to help each other. I learn something all the time from the guys. Crazy Millman

No problem Rekd May have to park out back of the Shop but got plenty of room not near any woods and not near any fire plenty of room to spread out. Crazy Millman

Mayeb check that the T-plane, C-plane, Wcs doesnt have a number there. If it desont I would try rewrittien the op and see if that does it. If not a WTF is in order is all I can say. Mybe it is grabbing the edga os a hole as your control and maybe can't see it. Crazy Millman

+1 on Chris been intrested to see what fixed it for you. Crazy Millman

I would might thi9nk about a .002 ream step up with carbide reamer but dont know if they make them that small. Hand feed I feel bad for you. Crazy Millman

Depends on the Dro if it is a Newall I just click the slep button on the fronts of the ones that have them if it others I just trun the dials to 0 and leave it as that and turn it off unless it is not a last postion type in that case I leave it one better to be off a couple tenths than off .01 or soemthing. I would also do spot checks on the DRO if new to it I have found soem over the years that drift I my Starret 3" dial and run it back and forth at both ends of the travel as well as the middle and check for devation if it doesnt keep .0002 I would check all my scales and check for loose bolts and bent scales if glass good luck it is pretty much screwed if not taking care of.

Now professor did knowing engineering, or some complex formula help you to solve that problem or did a little bit of common sense help you figure that out or seeing done before. I think it is great you want to expose your students to thing other that just engineering and open their eyes to what it takes. I only responded to you when you can clearly put up the question but didnt want to be forth coming with the answer to guys who where making an effort and I don't think the rewards should be in bonus points for the correct answer but in the attempt of the effort. I felt like with the time it took you to say I will get back you you could have easlier put the answer up and been done with it. The world of acadminics some times forgets the real world and I think if rewards were given more on a real world level more for the effort than the political correctness of the 6 weeks of clasess on how to write a freaking paper you would have alot more people willing to learn and alot better force of people out there that have learned through higher education. I will also add why should people of good work ethic, strong responsibilites and years of paying their dues not be looked at with the same respect as a person who got some piece of paper that say they did something when most time they cant engineer their way out of a paper bag.(not saying all are this way but more are than are not) Crazy Millman

Anything to help a bud. Crayz Millman

Be safe Rekd I will come a running if you need me too help you man. I got a Daybed that turns into a double and a queen sleeper if you need a place to crash for a few days. My wife is a stay at home Mom and My 2 year old daughter would love soemone to play with. Man keep safe and dont do anything cRazy that is my department. Crazy Millman

You need these to close the equation is all [] then I think it will ifx your problem like this. if p_wcs <2, pbld, pn, "TOOL CALL ", *t, *sgplane, *speed, feed, peob, e else, [ pbld, pn, "CALL LBL 2 ; TOOL CHANGE", e pbld, pn, "TOOL CALL ", *t, *sgplane, *speed, feed, peob, e ] try that and see fi it fixes it. Crazy Millman or take out the * in the secone line and that should keep it from double posting. Crazy Millman

Well 10,000 rpm would be a start for me and if I had more would go from that. I woudl look a 0 degree lead drill in carbide if they make them that small. Harvey tool might carry them that small. Crazy Millman

Yeah Heeler I dont use the WCS at all for 3 axis stuff I just move my models to the origin. I do use it for 4th axis stuff but only if I have too. I appericate the offer and will find soemthign for you to play with but I have tried every button and way on that transform and it just dosen't get it the way I like. I find it better to cut and paste change the workoffsets for each op effected and go from there. Beside anything over 4mb has to be dnc around here and you cant DNC subs very well. Crazy Millman

Go right ahead. Stil waitng on ym other answer though about gettign 50 hours of work done in Six. Crazy Millman

It's not the Beatles. Got me on that one. Crazy Millman

Well I am way off base here then. Post Gru's will have to step up to plate for that one. Crazy Millman bows out sits in the corner with his dunce hat on and sees what transpires.

See I thought I was being nice by not spoiling the suprise. I didnt give the answer in the other either from now on teh me going to rip it. Crazy Millman

JG are you trying to figure out if it is makign the holes the right size. There is a way to make a hole any size you want doing cicrle mil you creat points at the cneters of the holes and use the cneter point as the control you can then create any size diameter hole you want from that. If you want the cicrle mill cycle to peck liek a drill then dotn grab the enites manunal grab them from the Entites selection on the frist selection page on circie toolpaths it will then create like a peckig ncycle doing one pass then retracting out then rapiding back to the retract position then feed down to depth then take another cut. It is not realized that is you grab entities this way Mastercam automatcially puts the Rapid retract in where as if you do it Manunal Selection way it will keep the tool down and not retract. If you still want ot create the hole a specfic sixe then when you go toolpaths/nextmenu/circmill/entities/only/points it will waork the same as Manuanl for selction but olny pick the point and stil bring up the opition to put whatever hole you want in there I hope that helps. Crazy Millman

But the dog will not eat the grain so he can. I can balance 16 16 peeny nails on the head of one nail can anybody tell me the tirkc to this feat. Oh by the way cn soembody find me a left handed pipe wrench or a good pipe strecther cut this pipe a little short. Crazy Millman

I have heard talk of a reverse post maybe that would do what you want. You could always do the math and see. I also do the Ops name but will do 20 30 holes form one circle mill operation all different sizes so in that case will not help you can try canned txt but you will need to modify them to do what you want. I think you could also do a tool apth edit at the start of very hole and add a code but think it would need to be pre defined is all. Crazy Millman

Glad you ok buddy been worried about you over there. I figured you where going to machine up so bad xxxx 25,000 psi nozzel to hit that fire from about 5 miles off see what I can whip up. Sorry guys not tryign to make light up of but keep everyone srpits up is all. Crazy Millman

Here is a few images guys of what it looks liek from space: Notice the white areas that is all the fire areas notice to the north smaller and only loss 8 homes they get more attention than San Diego right now. Crazy Millman

Anyone heard from Rekd I thin khe was in the thick of it last night from what I could see on TV. Hope all is ok. Crazy Millman
