What Bernie says is the correct way too do it. You will see this occur in Pro E files too.

Both those guys are top notch. You gotta keep an eye on Brett at the cash machines though!

It has to do with the new mp.dll file that was supposed to have installed when you updated your software. Did you uninstall the SP2 Version? Be sure to rename that folder to mcam9old. (Installing to the old folder might prevent the mp.dll from getting updated.) Then install the latest and greatest Mastercam. This will create a NEW mcam9 folder and install your New mp.dll file, where no_spc is defined. This variable means "no spaces". If all else fails you might be able to drag and drop the mp.dll file from the system that works to the system that doesn't, forcing the updated mp.dll into the mcam9 folder. Good luck

I have had many a customer have issues with installing the MR0304 over the existing sp2. Here is my procedure Backup data from your current sp2 release such as: mc9's, posts, tool libraries, Mill9.cfg, etc. Rename the Mcam9 folder to mcam9old. This will insure that you get a fresh install. Load MR0304 Pacthes & Updates thru October and finally, MR0105

Congrats to the "Big E"

Does your machine have enough horsepower for you to take bigger depth of cuts and maybe less stepover? The reason being is that the extra wear on the corner of the insert. This was explained to me by a carboloy rep that I used to deal with. And he always told me 20 minutes constant cutting life per corner

Program it all in lathe. May require a bit of training though.

Datty, Cammando is talking about the nose diameter of the tool. Some chamfer tools come to a sharp point others have nose diameters, you need to make sure you define the nose dia. or it will not cut properly. If your tool comes to a sharp point, then tell it the nose dia. is .0001 Good Luck!

Sometimes brushing a little moly-dee as opposed to a water soluble works wonders in this app.

Go with what Lars said. Your distributor should be able to provide you with the manufacturer's tech number.

I am suspicious of this guy. Could he be a spy?

Trav I know that from previous experience having your arc output in IJK format will increase accuracy quite a bit

Trav, Is your post outputting R's or IJ's?

Mayday That was funny!

Why don't you do some contract work with this company, and make some extra dough on the side?
