thank you for your instruction, I'll try it " seat time:-)) to learn more about this toolpath TT

Thank you

could anyone tell me how to select the surfaces for flowline finishing and its application, I have never used it, what type of surface or shape would be best to use flowline finishing? thanks everyone in advanced TT

Nice to see you all Not a regular member, but thanks all for the help from you all, sweet wedding Elad, congratulation. Tom T

Dear James you are right

Mazatrol is the best NC software for 2D I ever used, but it's expensive

anyone has an arab colleague? I had 1, but he's gone now, He had enough time to physical acttacked me, because he was too tire and nervous during fasting season!!! Does it make sense? It will never be the same when you look at a person that admires Bin Laden as a hero, makes me angry and sick

Yes Cadcam it'S my dilemma, still Tom T

Cadcam It's the colour 14 will be the parting line, the shut off is the intersection between the tapper wall and the colour 14 Tom T

Sorry I am late.. Because of the attack in New York....sorry for all, but I still have no idea how should I can send you the file by email if you wish. I have a clue to tell my boss that the core would not be finished in 3 weeks. Thanks all, but still waiting TOM T

I have a core to finish, but I've never had a parting line like this one, can I finish it with machining? regular end mill, tapper end mill...becaude It's a pain to make electrodes for the whole parting line, will it gouge into the surfaces if I use an end mill to finish it? I already uploaded the file on ftp under MC8 format( baby-sled), any ideals? the parting line is the intersection between the yellow and blue surfaces thanks everyone in advance Tom T

Ngkim Why not "negative stock value"? I always use nagative stock value for electrode, depends on the habit of the polisher! use bull nose- very small radius or if your tapper is smaller than 15 degree, use tapper end mill, you'll have better finishing on the electrodes. Tom T

Could anyone tell me by your own experiences, which type of machining is the most difficult to perform on Mastercam? Production, molds, aircraft parts....lathe, mill, Wire EDM....which one is the hardest? I really don't know because I only work on Mastercam for molds, and only on milling, I don't know if it's hard on lathe to program?how about production? must be a well organized tool library and operation manager, with notes for every operation? a lots of questions....for me, just P20 for material, no tool changer...copper with electrodes...a lots more to learn. I think hope to hear from all of you

To be able to.... To do the verification for finishing tool path without running the rough program, takes to long to get to the point that I want to see how the tools react

hello everyone Anybody in here know Cimatron? which is the latest version of Cimatron? please tell me to compare between Mastercam package and Cimatron package for molds??? Thanks averyone in advance Tom T
