The old computer took a crap and now the new one won't dnc with the m32 control. It will load a program but only till the buffer is full then it kicks it out. I don't think its machine related but maybe a computer setting, but not sure. Any help would be great the machine is getting severly backlogged now.

Just alot of tool pressure is all. You will have to set it so either it is right when done the first time or right with spring passes. I thread alot of 17-4ph ss and 300 series and that is always the norm. I will take .013 a pass and get good results on repeating as long as I repeat everything the same as the last part.

I play with it alittle still but not alot.

How to solve an open chain problem
Gary replied to Chris Flint Two Ft Pty Ltd's topic in Industrial Forum
I like to squash to just above my part like to .01 or something so in an iso view it is easier to separate the problem chain from the rest. If you can post it to the ftp I will try to help. -
We had piece of alum get back there on ours to vf-5 and it bent the crap out of it leaked coolant all over abd was kinda a pain to get straighted out.

I like to use bounding box on my letters with a dif color have it create the center point. That way all I have to do is window my text move to where needed and delete all color. (whatever your bounding box color is)

Surface Model Outside Boundary
Gary replied to Bill Sutton@Accurate Machine's topic in Industrial Forum
If it round or odd shaped you may have to createcurvepartline. This will give you a sillouette (sp?) of your part. Alot of times curves need some fugding to get them all to chain. -
Yep the guys around us are switching to work nc for surface machining like nobody's business. It is pretty slick. The main reason is stock recognition. Cutting molds it would save alot of time when having to tilt cores ect to get to all the sides.
-
Yep I do it all the time here. Are you flipping the tool over or just starting down the shaft and working your way to the front off the shaft?
-
Same here worked with face to face ok.
-
Your part would be easier out of rectangle. I looked at it again the diameter of 3.75 stock won't make the part. If you create an arc on the ends the centers are shifted. check it out.
-
I would just cut it out of a thicker piece say 1.75 and then flip it over and deck the .25 inch off the back face after all your machining is done. Could just move the jaws on vise and do it in there (clamp from ends). Might want to run an idicator across it first to make sure its flat. Oh now That I said all that you are going to use round stock oops my bad. I round I'd cut stock couple inches longer and clamp on the ends. put flats on ends and work off of those.

Inserts to? Just wondering what tools I should have on hand. I can see a set of drills but where does the line get drew on what the shop supplies and what I should supply?
-
Yep a hummer should be able to go get you a 1/4 drill in any weather so no excuses now.
-
Yep I think drills disposable tools are the shops responsibility not the operator. If guys are misusing tools then fire them other wise get him the required tools. I would not stock my own drills to make your parts and then have to beg you to get me another one if it breaks, thats rediculous.

Yes Jack Nicholas er Mike were just messing with ya. its really a sweet coat.
-
From the sounds of the forum lately it will make you itch cuz its full of bugs.
-
Is it guoging in verify or just on the machine?
-
Jack I'd take em if the offer is open. I have a neighbor shop that can't get theirs to work for nothing, I guess. He said they can send mazatrol back and forth and thats it. I'd like to help him out if I can. thanks Gary control is a mplus he said

Tiny arcs will usually come out worse than just leaving it a spline. This way at least you can set a linerization tolerance on the toolpath itself. Makes for big program though.

I used oldirish 's formula today and it is the bomb no more dinking with getting it close "enough".

I don't know why people gotta stir the pot like that, but it makes for good reading.

How can I get rid of collisions and gouges

Tell it stop just before it hits those spots.
