We've had our SL-30 running for about 4 monthes now.

Some minor issues - had to purhcase macros to catch remnants rather than drop them. All seems to be going good though.

Expecting 2 SL20's mid December.

Good luck.

Dan,

You running a HAAS bar feeder?

This is what I have for V9.

       if progno = 0, progno = 1000

Don,

I dont use the G70 for a couple reasons:

1 - It didnt work right.

2 - I dont always finish the same geometry as I rough. ie: Finish path includes face, rough does not.

Not a fix . . . . .but !!!!

This is from 9, but should be similar.

note the * in front of g_wcs

You should be working in the side C-Plane.

This has been asked a couple other times. As of now I believe the answer is no - that is why the X icon was created.

I finally got it yesterday, although I was there for a wire class and picked it up.

Just need time now to work with it.

I havent heard anything yet, but I havent asked either. I figure there slammed and dont need my call too!!!

teh - trying to be patient

Does anybody have criteria or a form(s) thay could share that are used for new hires into the CNC area?

Example;

1. Minmal requirements to get started.

2. What do you teach them first.

3. What they should know or be able to do in 30, 60 and 90 days.

Thanks for any input!!!!!

This is what I have in my posts.

 *progno, " ", "(", progname, ")", e

Thanks for the ideas guys. I still need to find what I'm looking for.

Ron,

No thru hole and your right - no sub spindle on this machine.

Chris, We're using 6 Deg. inserts now, still to much burr These parts are high volume and come off complete, filing and/or sanding is not an option.

What do you guys use to remove the nib left when a part is cut off in a lathe?

I have seen some sort of rotary thing that trims it off years ago, but cant find anything when searching google - must not be searching for the right thing.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

If you have stagetool = 1, this should help.

look in psof for this;

 stagetool = m_one 

Change to this

 # stagetool = m_one

Thanks. I'll give a try later. Gotta head to one of our other plants now.

I woulk like it to be done automatic in the post.

Is it possible to have the thread size, from the thread library, be posted with the thread cycle?

example

 T909  (I.D. THREAD - 2/12-12 UN) 

Thanks

Sorry I cant help, but just curious what that is. It looks very similar to something I did a lot of about 2 years ago - Inspection fixtures for mandrel bent tubing and assy's.

Dont know how to post a link - but this might be what your looking for.

Trever,

Are you sure that is for a HAAS? I didnt know thay could use 2 line threading cycle and E feed!!

Tim,

Here is what I get. . .

It looks like your taper vale (I) is about half, thread hgt. (K) is under and I'm not sure what the O2 is for on the end!!

Tim,

Thnaks a bunch. Thats just what I needed.

Is there a way to store/save a misc. value for later use?

i.e. The first op has the value, but I dont want to use it until after the second op. Yes, I could just enter it again in the second op, but its already in the first and I'd like to keep it simple (less things to remember)

Thanks
