The old paths need holder collision added to them. 

Bought two seats this past week. Very good product.

finish inside complete, then cut around out side leaving some tabs. Or cut inside complete and throw on a fixture with bosses standing to fit slots.

Put tapped holes in middle of bosses to hold down. Second way is  safer if lots of parts.

Dynamic 3-d or area to rough then waterline then horizontal area. Get parts close to done, then go from there.

Yes min, vert. retract ect would all be real nice

Is this ever going to be possible? It would be great 

BenK setting is what I run on all my haas. Now run it with only .005-.01 stock left 1/8 or 3/16 ball .003-.004 step over and not a super high feed rate. It is a haas not a makino, just ask Bob. lol

I bet the part is chattering more than the cutter on that. A balanced set screw holder would probably be more rigid. But what you have ain't bad.

I usually go inserted cutter with big step over and .075 depth of cut on something like. About the same feed rate so I don't know what would be faster

You really need to determine what the machine likes.  The bottom line is the machine needs to run the code smoothly and you will get good results so you need to experiment a little by posting code and running it.  My best luck has been to eliminate arcs and run strictly linear code.  I turn off arc filtering, turn on smoothing, use a fixed segment length of between .020 and .004 depending on the size and characteristics of the surface, and present arcs as line segments.  On the Makinos this will yield a surface that is perfect with no post machining finishing (.005-.0035 stepover).

Yes shop down road with makinos and they like this, If I use smoothing on are new vm3 haas it looks nice but I can only achieve about 50ipm actual speed even if I program 400. Its smooth and not jerky just slow.

When it went 64bit that option was lost. 

I work for a company that has been in business for 30 years and they still have this mentality. They have 50 machines. Of course they bought everything with absolutely no options, like through spindle coolant. Yeah, they were all great, fell-off-the-truck bargains. Haas indexers on fanuc mills. But, when they want to make life a headache they got every possible option to do that. 

30yrs in business. Yep must be doing it all wrong.

Helix bore is great with mask on arc set. On jobs with alot of holes. Contour not so fast. Window hole plate and it will grab every one you set up in your mask.

No you gotta do the math.

I am sure they need modeled in. MC standalone does have some cool geometry creation tools that the solid modelers don't have.

awesome

bump

Ok I tried something, if i verify on my second monitor and save it crashes on exit. If I verify on the monitor mc is running on no crash.

Everytime I save my verify as stl for later toolpaths it crashes when I  exit out of verify. The file is saved but mc crashes when I close the verfiy. This is x8 on the latest updates. I don't see anyone else 

having this issue on here? What am I doing wrong?

thanks

Gary

thank you,saved again!

Any idea what is causing this error?

Yes split screen is killing me.

No bandsaw off extra command. Would need a dummy path to make it look gone.

Thank you very. Thats exactly what I needed.

How do I do this in x7? I am trying to move my threader to edge of tool.

thanks

Is there a solution for this yet?

Yes, going to go this yr. First time as an owner, so I guess I'll have to call myself the cheap one if I don't buy anything this time.

Yes, I want to know how the cam tool code runs on same machine/ same part. I am curious if its the machine or the fact you are used to the vm machine.
