    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.

    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

    There is a notch to use the 1/16 pin to locate

    We made some super thin ones because the smaller one would have had to double the material size

    2020 crashes sometimes if you change the diameter while the fillet is still blue

    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

    I will try it tomorrow

    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

    I have also been trimming lines to radiuses and miraculously six or seven of them just disappear gone forever. Like they were deleted
  11. Leon82
    I can't stand when it deletes partial radiuses when you make fillets

    Is there a way to make it not associative by default? I always have to uncheck it in the advanced page.

    I have seen tapping and some drilling cycles ad hours to run times before. What is your feed rate, toolpath ect....

    how big is your current tip bin? What about a small hopper? We use macx bins https://www.decadeproducts.com/products?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=products_ad&gclid=CjwKCAjwjqT5BRAPEiwAJlBuBdp6EYhEvEfvMhFXj3Y7EESlIuL41GEJ8cyziGQptkb_kirUSCxZJhoCyQMQAvD_BwE. They are about 4 ft x 4 ft x 3 ft

    Newer controllers have more advanced lookahead that can be adjusted for tolerance also and make a sizable difference in time. The problem is on the old machines if you go too fast you can round the corner off

    Camplete has the 3+1 block which you can remove the Z0 (works on fanuc). It only uses it at A-90 only when the c axis changes though. Have you tried making separate ops and then using multiaxis link? It's a little more programming but if you have a million pieces I guess it's worth it.

    We have some kind of virtual server thing I think because we're itar also.

    You're eye pee address lol

    17-4 will shrink and distort.

    They cut the blanks already so there is not enough material. Next order we will. They had the faces Blanchard ground

    It's running on a matsuura 1250 from the 80s. 50 taper. Strong like bull. No thru coolant though
  22. Leon82
    Thanks. I will give it a shot Monday

    What's the secret? Sofar the best strategy has been picking used CID 5 fluters from the scrap carbide bin and roughing it off
  24. Leon82
    You will have to make 2 ops with a depth difference equal to a multiple of the pitch

    Not unless there is a GPS device inside of it. When you get this sorted out they should have some type of sign out list or something. Or plug it into a server so you can log in through a VPN or something
