Hard milling A2 right now on a umc 500. It holds tenths all day as long as we probe every part before its run.

Yeah I did the email change thing , try again sometime. thanks

I get the following Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.

This I still don't understand, should be model/ stock aware by now. Hardest part of training new guys on mc especially if they came from a different software.

Surface from solid untrim it extend it a touch and drive off of that.

uncheck line arc filter. Check always use high feed and if you are leaving.01 or more loosen up the tolerance a thousands or 2. I think it’s trying to make those steps as a rapid move and choking.

I will take a look first thing in morning. May try and rebuild this model. I’m not sure how they designed this but the sweep is ugly. I’ve used swept on extrusion diverters in the past and it worked awesome. .

Well thats a hell of a lot nicer than what I had going. The old school way makes a nice path but whoa thats work thank you very much for the help!

I am trying to cut this so I don't have to just run a 4th axis spiral path and add an offset surface to protect the o.d. I have had good luck with morph paths on other stuff but the curves aligned better. Is there anything someone can suggest on this? File attached thanks Label-Shaft-mill2.mcam

Funny just bought a yr. of x+ yesterday because of this need.

crrl,alt,shift,p held at same time and I pick whatever post I want. This way I have seperate posts locked to g54 g55 ect. Especially on rotary work with transform/rotate use. Personally I think it should default to locked and prompt me if I want multiple work offsets. I also believe the entire model should come in as a check surface and you grab what you want to cut. I don't think you should have to worry about running a raster toolpath and having to fight vialating other surfaces or make a bunch of boundary curves to keep cutter from rolling into surfaces you don't want to machine. Start everything out safe and click a box a box if you want to get risky. Not start all in risky with planes and work offsets and not model aware and have to manually tie them all down. jmo

If its an old dinosaur machine from the 90's I don't believe g95 works but on anything newer it does. I have our post set to output g95 so the guys can change rpm at machine without having to calculate the feed rate. Also have post modified to allow for peck tapping.

Can't go wrong with a screw. We had a thumper forever but once we kept adding machines it seemed to run non stop. Added a 250 gallon tank inline that helped some. Bought a small screw and it wouldnt keep up. Now have a 20 horse I believe and it does great. I know longer need to use accumulator tank. With the auto air guns ect on our haas its great. I do however use the old thumper when running on off shifts running unattended. If I blow a air line I would rather burn that one up vs. the screw. How many horse screw you looking at?

Holder collision and min retracts ect. added to the old school and Mastercam would be the ultimate. But they obviously can not do it. To old of code I guess.

Thank you
