Hi Guys,
I have had trouble with certain pourous materials. aluminum bronze comes to mind. when it breaks out of the bottom it likes to break the last little bit. I started drilling half way or almost through then from the other side.

I would put mine with all my other certificates that I have gotten from machine sellers and cad cam companys.
In the bottom drawer of my roll away where no one has ever seen them.
In california that certificate and $52. will get you an annual pass to six flags.

"When I was a boy, "Made in Japan" meant cheap"
+1 gcode. when I started in machine shops all the old farts thought mitutoyo tools were junk.
just like korean stuff is getting better now. the vipers are gaining many fans and I know some people who like their cars. I dont think they are equal to japanese products but I think they are considered better than chinese stuff.
one thing i am certain of. the tough times of manufacturing here in america will make us all better programmers and machinists.
if not I'll see you on corner, I'll be the one with the god bless you sign

I know fadal is not the best machine out there. As I hear it the haas is even more popular. But I am ordering a fadal this week. I have dealt with those fanuc guys for years and they really know how to over charge for their service. I really have nothing to say about haas. I have never run one. The best programmer that I know has a shop with 15 fadals and won't consider anything else. I can also say that i wouldn't buy one of the 8030s. they wear out too fast and lose tolerance very quickly. on the other hand the 2015 with boxway is very accurate and can stay accurate for years. I ran some for 10 years and never had problems with accuracy.
I also believe that fadals are easier to setup than fanuc controlles machines. I have taught many operators on fadals and they are easier to learn.
that being said I have a chonce to buy a 60x25 hitatchi seiki for about 25k. I can buy a rebuilt fadal 4020 for $28,5. all things considered i Have to go with the fadal. I would like to have the power and extra travel but the cost of possible repair and service is too much for a startup company

i dont think it is the baud rate. the control buffers 200-300 line ahead. I have always used 9600 baud rate and it has been ok. I would check the G8 and make it is staying modal. (just make sure there is no G9). also i keep the feedrate at 50. if you cant get the jumping to stop have your service guys check servos and ball screw.
