i haven't tried analyze check model yet, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks

HI GUY'S, I WOULD NORMALLY DO A SEARCH, BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME RIGHT NOW. MY QUESTION, I AM TRYING TO WRITE A ROUGH POCKET CUTTERPATH AND ITS GIVING ME A NOTE SAYING "BAD TRIM SURFACE." I'VE SEEN THE SURFACE, AND THE SURFACE IS FINE. IS THERE A WAY TO BYPASS THIS WARNING SO THAT MY CUTTERPATH CAN PROCESS OR DO I HAVE TO REWORK THE SURFACE?

Thanks everyone for the helpful hints

Thanks everyone for the helpful hints

My tol. was 0.005. I was told to up my roughing tolerance to eliminate the cutter from jumping around when turning any corners. Mayday- yes I am surface machining. My roughing cutter was a 1" bull with 0.062" rads and finishing cutter was 1/4" ball. I am thinking that it could be that I never left enough stock when roughing.

I ran a finishing program after my roughing program, as the mat'l I was cutting is quite soft. I had left 0.01" on and it didn't clean up. This has happened before, but usually happens in contour programs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how this might have happened and how I might go about eliminating this problem?

Thank you, that answered what I was looking for

A couple questions regarding shallow finishes. 1)Is it okay to use a flat endmill for this type of finish? 2)I don't fully understand what the slope identifies. I know obviously it deals with angles, but to be more specific, does it mean that the bottom of the part is 0 deg. and the top would be 90 deg. I'm sorry if how it's explained is difficult to understand. If so let me know. I am asking this because alot of people in the forum seem to swear by this cutterpath. Thanks

Is there anyway to save these settings, as everytime I restart the program it goes back to the old setting.

Does anyone know how to set the tool height number to match the tool number. One of the kids at our shop was messing aronund on our computer and now everytime I post a program the T# and the H# do not match. Anyone know how.

Thank you very much. I definately was one who shyed away from incremental, but I will definately start using it to speed things up.

I took a look in the search department of things, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Just a quick question about having to drill different z heights. Is there a way of doing that in one program or do I have to split them up according to the different plane heights?

Code-breaker It won't allow me to process my e-mail address. I can't get the highlighted area's like some of you get to come up on your screen's. Any advice on this O/T topic?
