It sound liek to me that your table is traveling on you or the riser box if you are using one. If the code is right then it has got to be the Machine. I will also ask this do you have all G90 in the toolpath. if by chance you have a g91 then it would cuase this shift or by some chance you have a fixture offset call or a turn cutter comp on and off all of these could casue this. It could also be soemthing simple as if you are using a machine that neededs the head trimmed in alot it could possible be off. Just trying to throw things out there. Good Luck and if you post the File up in FTP we can take a look and see if you missed something. Crazy Millman

Well can I offer you a suggestion cause I think you are unfairly bashing this person who installed it have you bothered to call the people who sold you the software. If that does not get you the results you are looking for I would suggest you call Mastercam direct and I promise you will get results. Here is what I found for numbers in your area: Eastech Incorporated 4211 Produce Road Louisville Ky, 40218 Voice -(502) 589-0032 Fax - (502) 589-0034 E-Mail - [email protected] If that is the attutide you got that hey that is your right. Life is what you make it so if you choose to make it only what you want it then good luck in everything just would think that no person would give up that easy is all. oh since you are new that si the confused look cuase I am really confused by your thoughts. I tell you this if you were with about 400 miles of me I would drive my xxxx there just to show you how very wrong you are. Crazy Millman

Well if trying to do a wire toolpath in Mill then that might be your problem. I think your doing this in wire cuase I can not see what your saying with just mill. Sit tight and I am sure one of the wire guys can help you out. Welcome to the forum. Crazy Millman

Guess that relocation package is ok better than what I got coming here I did it all on my bill. I wish them luck in their such been up that way near King of Prussia and Lemrick. Nice area till it snowed 1-1/2 feet in 5 hours. Crazy Millman

We use soild view and it does a great job of point cloud and they offer a 15 day free trail. Here is the link: Solidview Crazy Millman

Well I started the Same thing May^Day so we are in the same boat. Good guy hard worker and doens't bitch about having to do something. I had MBA enginners apply for this position scary to see the list of over qualified people looking for work out here. Crazy Millman

+1 on cammando but I would go after the Diamond usaully alot more but it sucks getting half way through a cut and have to repalce an endmill. If only doing coutour work then might be ok with Carbide. I also found tha tthe router burr cutter do a good job in composites but create alot of dust. If you can run it wet do so. If not the biggest best vacum you got. I would also put protection over all electric compontnets in the shop some of that dust will kill anything electrical. Good Luck 150 SFM to 200 SFM like .002 to .005 feed per rev. Crazy Millman

Yeah Ripper my Dad gots a 69 Coupe Fully restored sitting in the Garage has about 120 miles on it in the last 20 years. I guesss one day it will sit in mine also. Sweet looking ride looks like it tooks soem styling from the new T'birds. Crazy Millman

Forgot about Hardmill you need to send my your information so I got it Hardmill. I will email you with my information. Crazy Millman

biss I guess my next question would be have you talked to who you buy them from and showed them your set-ups that you have also the problems with the clamps and see if they can help you. Good Luck Crazy Millman

Ok Rekd I see what you did with the buffer created like a condition loop for doing the whole data verse the limited that I have now. I see you also took out the second prereadbuf in both cases does this cause a problem with the data configration output? I am going to cut and paste what you got but I don't think I have the bcode fully understood yet will just have to play and see what I come up with. I appericate you sharing that with me Rekd when I get it the way I like I will email it to you as a show of thanks. Dave so in essence by trying to write it all to one page with the configration out of the box so to speak. The HTML.set makes it do things in like a chronological order verse a loop (if then else) statement order? I would then need to create a loop that gets all the data from the NCI code then stores it in a memeory bubble then calls it back from that place to input it back into the sheet in a place that it thinks is different from where it is going. I am going to see what Rekd's format does and go from there first. If that doesn't work Dave I will go your route. I appericate your time Dave and as always I will send you a copy of what I come up with. Crazy Millman Teh does it xxxx people off if I share this?

Well Rekd in this program Tool 8 is only doing one operation the same with the ones are right verse that are wrong that are doing multi operations. Thanks, Crazy Millman [ 10-01-2003, 12:49 AM: Message edited by: Millman^Crazy ]

Wonder when Jaws get up if he would like this up there. Crazy Millman [ 10-01-2003, 01:29 AM: Message edited by: Millman^Crazy ]

I remeber you talking about the buffer thing before and i looked through the forum but couldn't rememeber what you were after. It is not shifted either it is just not right at all . I will wait to see what you think and I appericate any help you can give me Rekd. It is not the access thing but I think it will work for what I need for the new guy. I was shooting for something with Mastercam and our company logo to look professional for the customers we have walking through the shop all the time and think I did ok. Crazy Millman [ 10-01-2003, 12:18 AM: Message edited by: Millman^Crazy ]

Thnaks for finding the link didn't have it on my Fax copy from them so didn't even think to see if they had one or not didnt back then. Crazy Nutty Millman I use to grind 6" deep bores for printing wheel hubs out of 4150 ht at 58 rc with a key way and they did a great job on a CNC Mill able to hold .0002.

Ok here is where I have got to with my Mod of HTML to make it all like I want on one page. Looks good does good expect for the Z max and Z min for the whole tool verse what seems like only one operation. Here is what the Values look like from the Mpmaster for the same tools for the same program. code: T14 M6 (1" DIA VAL INSERTED) (MAX | Z.25) (MIN | Z-1.1) T1 M6 ((1/2" DIA FLAT ENDMILL)) (MAX | Z.25) (MIN | Z-1.05) T10 M6 ( 1/4 FLAT ENDMILL) (MAX | Z.1) (MIN | Z-.4) T8 M6 ( 1/8 FLAT ENDMILL) (MAX | Z.25) (MIN | Z-.5) T3 M6 ( 1/16 FLAT ENDMILL) (MAX | Z.1) (MIN | Z-.4) T7 M6 ( 1/8 BALL ENDMILL) (MAX | Z.25) (MIN | Z-.4483) T18 M6 (1/4" THREAD MILL MICRO 100) (MAX | Z.25) (MIN | Z-.55) I looked at the Mpmaster post and seen this but not sure how to make it work with HTML set-up Sheet. code: # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Buffer 5 - Min / Max # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- b5_gcode : 0 b5_zmin : 0 b5_zmax : 0 rc5 : 2 wc5 : 1 size5 : 0 fbuf 5 0 3 0 #Min / Ma and then this: code: if output_z = yes, [ preadbuf5 if (opcode > 0 & opcode < 16) | opcode = 19, [ n, pspc, "(", "MAX | ", *max_depth, ")", e n, pspc, "(", "MIN | ", *min_depth, ")", e ] ] I have seen these very variables and buffers talked about before and cant seem to remember how it ended up. I apperciate anyone that can help me with this and will be more than gald to share this with anyone that would like a copy of it. It is written to support the Fadal E fixture offset but can be easly chaned back to Fanuc G54 offsets and JPG verse GIF for the images. Thanks alot, Crazy Millman

Well if you are not using tialn endmills give them a try on 304 and run it dry with plenty of air for keep chips out of the way. I did have a 304, 440, and 316 Material ops back in J'ville but cant seem to find any of that stuff. Well good luck Crazy Millman

Congrats Chris Crazy Millman

Bucket head not that animal tek soft crap still got bad mamories from the early 90's from that software. Still got my copies of the books yes the books that same with just the 3d mill. Jimtoolman I can understand your frustration but are you repeating someone esle comment or is this really how you feel:

Cammando they have the CBN and other types of tools. Had stuff right on the Shelf. Well Peter I guess it must be nice to look at your job that way. Crazy Millman

Hey DaleB you want some help down the road you might want to post what I have here to get it. quote: Thanks guy for helping me out of that bind it did a great job and gald I can come here to get free and great adivce.It is called in the professional world as a common courtesy. Crazy Millman

Plastic Dragon if you have auotcad it does a great job. I would use our roll plotter to do 70" parts to comapre profiles and did great. Peter that is a good idea wondered if it was 1:1 that way or not thanks. Crazy Millman [ 09-30-2003, 11:10 PM: Message edited by: Millman^Crazy ]

Ok Rick this is probaly a stupid question but nothing ventured nothing gained. If you did have a dual processor system would it make more than one session of Master running like one on one processor and one on the other thus keeping the complete processing needed still on one. I can have some cruch time of 20 to 30 minutes on the scallop toolpath and I have a 3.06 P4 with 1 gig of Ram and a 256 mb video card and stil takes that long of parts. Mayeb be way off here cant say I know that much about the nex Xeon processors and mulit proecessor machines but everyone I have talked to that deos raves about the speed.
