    Parameters 5210 will give you the tap code
  2. Leon82
    Are you sure you have a good tap?
  3. Leon82
    I leave .005 with a .0025 tolerance usually with good results. I think I use 50% cut/arc tolerance It will over cut if your tolerance is bigger than stock to leave. The machine is also running the aicc or the matsuura ips so it is not going to overshoot
  4. Leon82
    the arcs page in the control def I believe
  5. Leon82
    Do you have positive comp in the tool in the control?
  6. Leon82
    if you scroll thru the parameters for drilling (5000 area I think) it will say tap m code in a field

    fanuc control? our vplus 1000 uses m80/ m89 m80 is adtap and retracts faster rpm m89 is standard with the same retract.M29 opens the atc door. there is also a couple parameters for rigid taping you can look at

    I use the jergins ball locks. They work pretty good. We use them in the 5 axis also for parts we secure thru the back on the sub plates. Easy to make your own. Just bore holes for the liners. They have a bunch of different sizes. Four of the 16 mm shanks held a 20" invar ring to rough side wall pockets in or mx 520

    Ford Titanium we use 5-minute epoxy Dab it around the edges and let it dry for about 20 minutes

    On the toolpath manager there is a circle and square overlapping icon. Try that one
  11. Leon82
    We use 3m 410m I believe. Works good.
  12. Leon82
    I think that's the show associative entity setting. I think there's a toggle in the top middle of the icon bar

    Rough the wall and leave thickness oversized then remove false bottom. Flycut flat and parallel. Then in a fixture of soft jaws clamp light and finish the pocket.
  14. Leon82
    Repro rubber
  15. Leon82
    Rough it out first. Mill it parallel, Then make your finish cuts and support both faces

    Now that I think about it there was a job where I need it to Dynamic face so I ended up making two facemills with the same tool number. The one I use for facing was .05 undersized on dia. And a full size one I use for my Contours And then I told it don't make a tool change in the NCI.
  17. Leon82
    Interesting. I must have set it to try and shrink a program and hit the save button. I rarely look at the filter settings for facing
  18. Leon82
    could the two lines without feedrates are the issue? if you run it in single block it should stop on the actual error. when single block is off it will read a few lines ahead and get the alarm before it would actually occur
  19. Leon82
    It worked great. thanks!

    here is a screen shot of the back plot and a quick file. the tool has moved to z.0075 and has not passed over the little nub in the center. this is a rectangle with a 3/4 flat mill 80% stepover I think DYNAMIC.mcx-9
  21. Leon82
    I have gotten them using a square endmill. At the end of the path in the center z starts to feed up. If the stepover is about 20 or 30% is won't leave one.
  22. Leon82
    Thanks, I'll try it out!
  23. Leon82
    At the end of a custom drill cycle for a probe. Forcing z out uses the last z depth for the probe in the linking parameters. It seems only to remember the last z depth used I don't need it to be rapid but need to output that z value

  25. Leon82
