  1. quote: I don't get the feedrate. Are you just going super slow, or is it given in deg/min? I'm not sure yet!! I was thinking it was ipr of the cutter. Strange since mill is usually ipm. MCAM posts deg/min. All of the stuff was in the post, all I need to do was switch it on. Now I get code I can understand. Can anyone tell me if the feed rate should be ipm or what?

  3. Harryman, before you edited your post, you mentioned a G12.1 I am just starting to do C-Axis work and trying to machine a hex. When I post the code I get many lines of code. Should I be able to get the simple G12.1. My reseller said maybe but they are to busy right now and not sure when they can do it. What can I do?

  5. Anything around here with that many miles is pretty much a rust bucket and fallin apart.
  6. quote: I need to hit the road more often. my '93 Wrangler just hit 60,000 miles.I'm not quite that bad, avg. 12K/Yr. on each vehicle until this job. They never seem to stay around long enough to get that many miles on them. I need to change my ways soon. Currently driving 500 - 600 miles a week for work in a Dodge Durango (nice vehicle, poor mileage). Putting on the miles before the lease is up in Dec. 04. Then we need to find something cheap with 50 mpg.
  7. Chris Thanks for the offer, but I may have it figured out. I have been comparing, in the same file, the difference between using a finish cycle with misc. values - old post way - and a true canned rough cycle. When trying them together it dosent work right. When doing canned by it self its ok. The thing that is strange, however is the lead in/out does not have entry/exit vectors. I have already mentioned this to Greg at Axsys Inc. who in turn was going to notify CNC. Again, thanks for the help.
  8. quote: Go to parameters / rough parameters / stock recognition at the bottom right and make sure to set it to "use stock for outer boundary". This is not available when using canned cycles. Extend contour to stock is the only option, and it is on.
  9. I have seen this also but thought it was something I was doing wrong since roughing canned cycles are new for me. What happens is the stock can be defined at 3" and the finished part may only be 2", the tool disregards the 3" and starts cutting at 2". Doesnt matter what D.O.C. is.
