That sounds dangerous. I would probably use stock to leave in that case.

That the new drill cycle with the changeable axis output is kind of interesting.

Our cam workstations have no internet access and work fine

We got our camplete on a network dongle. One computer on the network just has to have USB plugged in.

We always use our "5 axis home" which is basically top top top. It may work otherwise, but our dealer recommend to use the a0c0 wcs

I second the thin wall approach. Leave the wall thick, finish with Stepdowns

Have them each take 10 paces and turn. Winner hats both keys

You can also back up your sram in there if I recall. Motor origin too if your absolute battery dies

The only time I've found incremental buggy is when there were geometry at different heights for a pocket or dynamic type feature where 2 or more chains are used. Then it is hit or miss what depth it uses. But for 5 axis work we just move the 5 axis home WCS and repost if simulation is needed. Mostly now we just use the probe to set the face of the fixture

We do a spindle and axis warmup on all our machines. One of our parts that has close profile tolerances we set a 5 min dwell and m99 so it always runs without a part in the fixture. During lunch, break, and waiting for QC. It works pretty good

It helps so if you pick up your offset 15 minutes later it hasn't drifted from thermal expansion.

Do you have some random value saved in the override geometry diameter box

We have e2. Previous shop had vista

The last CNC software update to it was in 2005. But what I am experimenting on is a manual entry test for camplete. It uses what it calls a custom gcode label for manual entry. So the format is ME1, m00 ME2, (comment) So instead of a sub program for probing or a dovetail op on the table wings it would output directly into the program via manual entry text file.. Camplete won't simulate it, but neither will a sub program.

Ok I'll look at it. It is a generic fanuc post, it's been here for at least 10 years. I only see a seq reference for knot sequence numbers CD var and it say no as I checked it to output them
