Nope.

The 004 is a nice unit. I would put the round blank in a chuck And mill the bottom profile the outside and mill the half inch pin holes in socket capture through holes. Then flip it over and put it on the raptor 234 and strap it down with a couple of Bridgeport type clamps. Then I would machine two of the counterbores put an MO0 clean out the chips add the screws machine the other two counter bars and moo blow out chips and add screws. Then you can profile the outside and mill the dovetail. This is our 004 dovetail fixture I met him and shook his hand a couple times.

Yes, when they are really close I will under it the endmill and only use about .02 to.05 flute to make a straighter hole

We may have to get one for a job. Our 850 was too small. This particular part interferes with the sheet metal and we can't reach the top at a-90. Even the top I couldn't indicate the way I wanted. I had a cracked er11 holder I modified for basically a 1" gauge length.

It's the way it's rounding it off usually I'll just redraw all the holes with a nice even number

When we have them go down the guys brings a cpu, MCI board and a few others. The throws them in and sends the cores back. Luckily you can backup the control and restore it relatively easy so you will have your zeros and tools back where they were backed up.

It could be leading off with the arc. If your ramp depth isn't divisible by your depth evenly it will exit in a different spot than it starts. Sometimes gouge check will alter the lead in on you also

You can set a perpendicular lead in with no arc. You can use .0005 as long as you're not planning on using any positive cutter comp

When my coworker does it on 20/20 even if you name it offset zero it seems to renumber it all to offset one. Then you have to go and each operation and manually change it. Changing it in the planes manager does nothing

It takes me 3 hours in fusion what it takes me 3 minutes in mastercam. But but you just need a practice once you get some memory down you'll be all right

Profile entry is all I use if I can. I is easier on the tool I feel.

Stock to leave will change all those numbers too. What's your geometry off a model or did you draw a circle?

At least it told you what the exception was

Brake the arc at a quadrant point or redraw it. And use an depth cut that is divisible by your total depth with a hole number

From cinco dnc max on our fanuc machines we can send advanced and loop as many as we want. On the yasnac it gives an error saying no m2 or m30 after the first loop is run. Has anyone ever done it? Is there a setting I can look at?

I agree The best is when you have to adjust a bunch of features and tangent points because of it.

Machine control look ahead parameters can be used to smooth them out. Some people say the radius should be double the step over. It should probably find out which works best for your machine.

Renishaw calls that stock allowance. It's a 3 point probe cycle to set z. You would need to use the rotary probe cycles to zero an axis. We use the drill cycles for ours and it has made life so much easier. They don't buy another machine without the probes now. Even the wire EDM has a probe

It has a couple metric examples. I need to spend some time with it I guess

The small white supplement book it comes with.

No Yes

We appear to have hit the parameter wheel lottery one of our new machines has this function. Has anyone done anything with it? In orbit mode the spindle becomes a w-axis and you put a lathe tool in it and it will synchronize spiral around apart to bore a hole or shaft. In synchro chip the C axis becomes spindle 2 with what appears to be a 33 RPM max rotation speed. So you can use it as a VTL or do the synchro chip with it

I believe You can use *pwcs or to force it out If you analyze the statement there it's saying if The cut position is not equal to the last position Do something. So you probably need it after that line

It probably doesn't like the program O number and the % sign
