We had recently stumbled upon a heck of a time saver.

Some of our programs could take up to an hour to regenerate (roughly 4k operations, so many pecked grooves!  ).

That time was cut down to a few minutes by editing common parameters, and toggling all of the tool displays to OFF.

Wish we would have found this a few years ago!

Sorry for the stupid question

 Can you specify   where  is  " tool displays " in common parameters ?  I can't find such of tab  in mc2020

   Thank you in advance

 Also you can use contour plunge-pitch will be equal   deep of plunge.

I had a similar issue on our M560V.  My "crash" was so small I don't even consider it a crash. I fed an 1/2" endmill down into solid 6061 alum at about 200ipm or so.

After that the spindle was making noise and it got HOT!  

There is a crush-ring that was out .00002". Entire spindle had to be replaced at our cost because they said we were using the wrong oil.

Oil that had zero effect on why the spindle was getting hot.

These machines are beasts, but they don't like the slightest impact in the Z axis at all apparently.

 Our  m560 v   was slightly  crushed  few times  so far don't see any issue . 15000 rpm  btw

Okuma and  Okuma the best .You just have to know how to use it and you love it

I trying to get out  "red  statement "    on  each next tool  I am posting for the  multiple tools   , but I want this statement on my first   tool  ( or single tool) .

Thank you   for the replay

Hello everybody ,

Just installed pb1 2018

Each time I posting  selected operation(s) ,mastercam  does  backplot   selected operations.

Is it  possible  switch off this function?

what new in the 2018  ?

We cut a lot of stuff like that in P20 and HH P20. We have several 2" insert cutters from different manufactures. Just did a demo with the Seco high feed 6 in 2". It smoked everything else we have. Both in speed and insert life.

You  mean  2 inch dia  6 inserts  ?

My filter setting is 0.006  and   50/50  now
