Im trying to cut the bottom of a piston on a haas
trunion table. Im holding on to the top of the
piston in a chuck in the b axis.

Trying to rush through stuff before xmas weve got that week off. Your roller cabinet, sorry dude

I havent updated to 3 yet geuss im still gun shy
from the last time I tried it. Hey mayday hows
It going give me a ring sometime I still need to
stop over and drink with, I mean see you.
im not positive if this is your problem
but i would start by looking in your machine
definition manager under edit general machine parameters coolant commands
maybe this will help
and welcome to the forum
how do you create new toolpath groups
in the op manager. when i right click
and go into groups its greyed out.
i can create new machine groups
but thats not what i want. i like to do
different opps in one file. and create a
new toolpath group for each one and name it
opp-1 opp-2 etc.
