Hi kyle, In your post look for these formats. fmt X 2 xabs #X position output fmt Y 2 yabs #Y position output fmt Z 2 zabs #Z position output change the 2 to a 13 that should change the output to 5 places. HTH Scott

It wasn't fun at all. I don't remember how many drills I went thought. At .015 in dia I didn't even try resharping them just throw it away and grap a new one.

.015 dia .08 deep in Hastelloy C276.

The "G" is for external threads and the "H" is for internal.

Hi Randle On the last line Dave has ssubchar = ucase(ssubshar) #for uppercase Try this ssubshar = ucase(ssubchar) #for uppercase Dave just had the two strings reversed. HTH Scott

Brent add this two lines in were the general output settings are. That should let you run it then. spaces : 1 #No. of spaces to add between fields save_spc : 0 #save spaces

Hi Brent, This is what you want. # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # NCI file pre-read look ahead routines # Build the toolchange buffer, sets cycle and turret flags # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- pwrttparam #Information from parameters if opcode = 104, result = fprm (opcode) pwrtt #Buffer toolchange information, tooltable = 3 calls on 1003 save_spc = spaces spaces = 0 if t>0, "(", *t, " ", strtool, ")", e spaces = save_spc if gcode = 1001, psetup pcut_cctyp if opcode=104 | opcode=105 | opcode=three | opcode=16, cc_pos = zero if gcode <> 1001, plast_recd pcur_recd if gcode <> 1003, cc_pos = zero !opcode, !tool_op if gcode = 1003, [ size1 = rbuf (one, zero) rc1 = one if rc1 < size1, preadcur_nxt if cc_1013 = zero, cc_pos = zero ] This will build the tool list for you.

Hi Brent, Try this line ptoolcomment #Comment for tool tnote = abs(t) toffnote = tloffno strtool = ucase(strtool) stoper = ucase(stoper) stinsert2 = ucase(stinsert2) "(", *tnote, *toffnote, ")", e if posttype = two, "(", *stoper, " ", *strtool, ")", e *stinsert, *stinsert2, ")", e else, "(", *stoper, " ", *strtool, ")", e Then in ltlchg type in ptoolcomment Hope this helps you.

What about home heating oil. I just got a $300.00 bill for my last fill out. That will only last about 3 weeks. Oh it was $1.793 a gallon.

Were I worked before had HAAS and service was great. Were I work now we run Okuma's I have never see the service dept here for a repair only for PM's. You do get what you pay for.

Bostomatic's will also allow to turn comp on an arc move.

Bosto's in there var page don't display a decimal point at all. You have to know were the decimal point should be. For inch it 4 places and mm it's 3 places. If in the variable page there is a 1 at v1 that in mm is .001 and in inch .0001. You can also program with out a decimal point.

Hi Gary what are you looking for?I run and programed bosto's for 10 years.Were i use to work we used variables all the time.

I know Cnc Software has one. They have a bosto 405 in there basement.

If you don't want it at all set fastmode to 1

Frank try looking at this web site. http://www.atptools.com/

On the "R" plane did you set it to incremental and set the value.?

( TOOL - 1 OFFSET - 1 ) This is from a okuma post using canned turning cycles.I have been tring to move line N35 to be in the roughing cycle. ( LCAN_ROUGH CNMG-433 INSERT - CNMG-433 ) NAT1 N5 G50 S2500 N10 G0 X30. Z30. N15 T010101 G97 S105 M03 M42 M8 N20 G96 S550 N30 G0 X6. Z.1 N35 G42 N40 G85 N45 D.1 U.02 W.01 F.015 N45 G81 N50 X-.1 N55 G1 Z0. I has to look like this. ( TOOL - 1 OFFSET - 1 ) ( LCAN_ROUGH CNMG-433 INSERT - CNMG-433 ) NAT1 N5 G50 S2500 N10 G0 X30. Z30. N15 T010101 G97 S105 M03 M42 M8 N20 G96 S550 N30 G0 X6. Z.1 N40 G85 N45 D.1 U.02 W.01 F.015 N45 G81 N50 G0 G42 X-.1 N55 G1 Z0. Thanks

Chad i just sent you a haas post that come with mastercam.I block delete the line for home position and shut the rotary off.Hope it help you.

No it's not in the post.If i pull a tool in from the library then look at it the number is changed then before i even post.

It still dosen't work. The dia and length offset numbers still match the tool number.

HI james. Thanks for the reply i don't have that checked.

We have predefine tooling list with tool numbers and corresponding dia and tool length numbers.Sometimes these number aren't the same.Ex tool number 17 dia 17 length offset 117 When in the tools page in job setup i pull the tools from the tool library but the offset numbers change.Sometimes to numbers i don't even know where they came from. Is there a switch i missed somewhere?Assign tool numbers sequentially is not checked. Thanks

Rory in your post find pwrtt put these line in tooltable : 1 if t>0, "(", *t, " ", strtool, ")", e this will build a tool table at the start of the file.

SBA Go in to the edit page for that tool.The last tab is parameters,on the bottom left there is a selection for different points on the tool that you can make zero.
