  1. with rest machining you make the boundary bigger for tool entry. you only need to make one side bigger
  2. sometimes power surface can give you something good for avoiding a hole
  3. if you copy them you may need to rechain everything but all the settings will be the same so i think its a little less work
  4. there is an engraving path that should work. you could also use surface horizontal and pick the floor as drive and top of the letters as check but i would try a pocket set to zigzag with a tapered wall angle in depth cuts
  5. you would make a plane on the bottom and copy the operations and switch the plane to the bottom . then it will verify correct and you could either bost it all or just the first half. transform rotate may work with y as the axis of rotation but i would have to mess around with it to see. you mat need to make a rotation plane
  6. I did that for the yasda we have it was cutting a line on an angle before it did it
  7. you can force optirough to 2D with the steep shallow
  8. when i was messing with mine there was a value in the post for axis of rotation but it was older. it mat be in the machine def now
  9. You don't have to make a duplicate plane. You can assign a new offset per instance and keep the offset distance at zero.
  10. its for machines without look ahead. you take a piece of aluminum or delrin and mill a hole and spring it out. then you increase the feed until it overcuts and put the values in the machine def or that box i cant remember. then when you use the function it should slow down the tool to avoid overshoot on the servos.
  11. If it's trimming or tilting to avoid the holder it will need regen
  12. i get these with circlemill sometimes mostly with 10mm holes. never found a solution. i usually draw a new hole a little bit different size.
  13. on top of those i have found a tighter tolerance will remove those sometimes
  14. All three that ran the program. The pc4 is an ac machine. Both mam72 are bc and only a couple years apart
  15. Our yasda had a dynavision. You can see the flutes on the TV screen.
  16. when we do extra tight true positions we set up seperate offsets and use a sub program for probing. for that part type we would probe the hole at b0 and copy the x value to the b90 offset and then come up to b90 and probe the rest of the part at b90. this is one example where the datum hole had to be probes at 90/ we have a shift at the end also so if you can offset for machine variances M01 (SET G55 A TO -90.) #5244=-90.

  17. They had us switch 11775.0 to a 0. It was 1 and the other mam is 0. We will see tomorrow if it makes a difference. The pc4 and other mam run it fine. If the parameter change doesn't help I'll try it
  18. The older man. Cuts the same program fine. They bar ball tested it and it is good there.
  19. If you want that motion use contour and then you can trim it and the sorting should work
