  1. I think JP just gets tired of people posting "program my part for me because i don't want to put any effort into it" and training from someone who makes a living at it is not what i want to do
  2. i even had some V3 files that i needed the geometry from
  3. X5 will open V9 i still keep V5 for that purpose but I needed V9 to open V7, I have thousands of files that we used to repair molds from
  4. V9 was a highly pirated version my hasp goes back to V7, I can run V9 on a older computer but only use it when i needed to convert some really old files
  5. if you have finish pass checked it will with proper lead in
  6. don't understand , it's pennies in the long run, how many hours did you spend to get active reports compared to 5 minutes to set up X+
  7. go VEGAN , then life is wonderful
  8. didn't mean to imply that it doesn't happen, just that it's not cause to condemn Mastercam completely
  9. 2021 i just did 50 different fillets changing radius while still blue, sometimes it wouldn't take the first selection of the line but haven't crashed, actually i haven't had any crashes with 2021 JMO
  10. did you ever try it , because in my experience they do everything they can to deny it and get out of having to fix it.
  11. we only have the one so just use a thumb drive, they do most of their own programming in mazatrol
  12. IT won't allow our Mazak to be on the network because it's windows based, we got hit a couple years back, my computer was one of the ones it started on, the first thing it hit was my post .pst i noticed right away when i couldn't post a file and unplugged from the network luckily we were backed up off site and only lost one day but my computer was hosed from then on
  13. and what are you basing this on? 3 people that you work with and two you know at another company
  14. got help here when Mazak couldn't help
  15. use to use it all the time when we would get digitized path and had to make changes but had no way to model reverse post and save backplot
  16. there is a follow button at the top and you will get emails when there is a reply
  17. tool and die shop grad here, my teacher just died a couple years ago, was in his 90's. still picking out things he taught me that i didn't really grasp at the time
  18. we had a broaching head on the hyperquadrex we had that was sweet ($15,000) made a 10 minute broaching about 15 seconds but we sold the machine Mazak gave me a broaching program for for our integrex
  19. we about doubled using the Helical Ti specific cutters and that's with a HAAS, if we had real machines watch out
  20. https://www.helicaltool.com/products/titanium-6-flute-corner-radius-variable-pitch Helical just came out with some Ti specific end mills , work well. non-coated carbide usually works best
