then you just use cimco to send, set your editor to mastercam or other in config. start/exit. you set communications in config communications or just open your cimco and send from there -
i ran v9 on windows 7 but IT had to set up a virtual drive with xp, for v6 you might have to go back to win95

are you using mc to transfer files or do you have a stand alone cimco? also what version -
thats the problem, 1/4-20 is 20 threads per inch = 200 rpm 10 ipm, 3/8-16 = 160 rpm 10 ipm also are you sure you have rigid tapping?
-
depends on machine and size of tap. feed is dependent on speed and threads per inch also the quality and type of tap (spiral point, spiral flute, etc) on our haas it was recommended under 300rpm

or try lead to center, if you turn off gauge protection it might work

Thread Milling on 4th Axis
htm01 replied to jlelievre's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
we use Emuge thread mills and they supply the program written in incremental G91, so i just copy the drill operation for position and paste the thread path -

this was 20 yrs ago now,there was a line in the cavity every inch or so, finally figured out it was when the oil pumped every 10 minutes , op put a indicator on it and it was almost .0005

we had fadals that when we did cavity machining you could see lines where the auto lube kicked on, it actually raised the table

to mill a slot use pocket, select point as your first selection then chain your slot then under lead in/out click use entry point

Question about Compensation type
htm01 replied to AppleUser347's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
sounds like he's trying to get us to do his homework, or they are questions for a job interview -
we use Emuge single tooth and full profile cutters, very pleased with them, they will even give you programs with speeds and feeds for any material. was milling 6-32 in inconel and it was programmed with control comp and the op forgot cc ended up cutting a 1/4-32 in one shot from a .113 drilled hole and didn't even break

you could try flowline

if you use X+ for a set up sheet you can have it list WCS name, even if you don't use the sheet you could run it as a check
