  1. 20k and up requires the spindles to be stopped before turning it on and off. The 12 and 15,000 spindles you could turn it on and off while it's running On our machines if you hit the TSC button while it's running it doesn't do anything. I like it that way because on our V+ 1000 with 20K spindle some busy body tried to turn it off to look in the door and we lost 12 hours of overnight running because it alarmed out
  2. You can modify the camplete Post also what exactly do you want to do different
  3. -1 is automatic and it makes a new offset when you make a plane. Setting it to 0 keeps it g54
  4. Spot small then chamfer after. We use the guring fired carbide a lot in titanium and invar. They are 118 so you can use a 120 spot drill also
  5. You need to warmup the spindle. They released a new program recently
  6. It uses center also so you would have to shift the bottom line up at least half the cutter
  7. Yes they do. It will be called material boundary when you look at the op manager. It will not work with "stock rest mill" You will have to open the boundary on the 3 sides like 3x cutter dia
  8. How big is your material boundary? If you don't put one in I believe it makes a square out of everything you picked. Draw containment boundary The area you wanted to cut on a different level so you can turn it off later. Select that as boundary it will call it a material boundary It shouldn't go below that more than half the tool
  9. Steep shallow settings have max and min depth. Also you can make a flat surface bigger than the boundary
  10. I had a z depth issue like that and it was because I had an associative clearance height. As soon as I went back to incremental it was fine.
  11. It's possible that 1 leg of the 3 phase relay is bad
  12. You usually get that when the points are 180 degrees apart.
  13. I made a clear offset maco for after a job clearing tool offsets. It puts 40 inches for z in the event a tool hasn't been touched off.. I would be interested in yours once you get it figured out. The renishaw probe settings program turns the look ahead off also I believe
  14. Usually when we probe z for every part the tracks relatively well. Have a probe the part right before you cut the feature. You can't probe it and then a half hour later after running blast coolant expected to be thermally stable when you cut that feature. Are you using a lot of through spindle coolant? That will heat the enclosure 10 to 20° above room temperature at prolonged periods of time.
  15. When I did it they called out a thickness It was like an acme thread. I just experimented with the contour chain rotating it until I got what I wanted. You can do the same thing for a regular thread
  16. There is a notch to use the 1/16 pin to locate
  17. We made some super thin ones because the smaller one would have had to double the material size
  18. 2020 crashes sometimes if you change the diameter while the fillet is still blue
  19. It works good for divide. I was doing some plunge milling and I used it to trim the inside of the arcs I drew so I could use it as a air region. I just wave the mouse around and I was done. But if you go too fast sometimes it reinserts the trim
  20. It happened to me. I would switch to another planes origin. I had to delete it and make a new one. Associate was not checked for either plane
  21. I have also been trimming lines to radiuses and miraculously six or seven of them just disappear gone forever. Like they were deleted
