O/T How to start own shop on the side
billystein replied to Mike okislong's topic in Industrial Forum
I feel for you Mike. I have been doing the same since January and I had to find a job last month. It seems like my best freinds that have work take advantage of me the worst. Very dirty game this business. -

i made points at the new job, I got a broken machine running. whoopy with my baby. a couple of new parts. a fool of myself. and my fingers hurt from tying too much on this forum. -
you can specify a file with manual entry. It is only available with the toolpaths. I use it for little inserts in my nc file.

Fadal CNC 88 HS question
billystein replied to Fred from Université de Sherbrooke's topic in Industrial Forum
an interesting note. make sure the program has neither the ta,1 or the dnc. then you can mid start a file. From the machine control type dnc,3200,enter (starts at line 3200) then go to your computer and send program . it will search modals and pause at that line number. press start. -
WCS seems like just what you are looking for. The verify from one file becomes the stock for the next file. I think it is the best thing since solids. Our other programmers agree.
-
WCS is the ticket. I just learned to use it and it is wonderful. The verfy from one file becomes the stock for the next file. The best thing since solids. I really am excited about it if you couldnt tell.

I have found that you must get your customer to put in the purchase order that they will buy the part to the cad model. normally they will give you a blanket tolerance and list only the critical dimensons. I have had some customers that only use cad files. If you get a chance look at Verisurf.com The software runs in mastercam design. i use on my cmm. it is also good for inspection arms and laser trackers. It is very easy to use for mastercam people but the owner of Verisurf is a wiener.

how deep is the hole? For those cheap criterion heads I like to take a solid carbide em shank and solder a nice coated insert on the end. just grind plenty of relief. and put a nice sharp corner on it.

Hey Phil From the spelling on this topic. I'd say you are the only one here that went to school

LATHE-MILL Sorry, no Hass. I have never worked on one. I could modify fadel or fanuc for you. Just try one of them and tell me what to change.
-
For fadel check out bfad9.pst from ftp. Don't forget bfad9.txt. Fanuc version available upon request. It uses the same tool list.

I have found that drilling is better if you double your normal chip load. It seems to evacuate the chips better. If the chips don't come off of the tool they will cause many problems.

Does the value of last_op_id change anytime?
-
Rekd I get error message for last_op_id . Do you have a list of these op_id variables? Billy

Does anyone have a cool routine for putting M00 in program. It should look something like this. G91G28Z0M5 G28Y0 M00(CHANGE CLAMPS) G54 G90G0X----Y----S---M3 G43Z1.H--M8 Manual entry will do most of it but I still have to edit the offset numbers,x,y and spindle speed

Thanks Chris m. It worked like a charm. Billy

how can i change the .nc default in the post page?

Try the bfad9 post on ftp. Don't forget the bfad9.txt file. pay attention to the misc integers and reals. let me know if you like it.
