  1. Anyone ever hear the sound of a robomate rev up to 10000 rpm and plunging into a Herman schmidt tool make vise at 50% rapid?
  2. Do you have a storage tank? Our system has a 120 gallon I believe. It may buffer a little for you
  3. I went from 25 to 75% stepover. Only about .300 deep at time. Then cleared the scallops with an insert mill 2 passes. I used the transform in z for the 2 drills and insert mill. It worked well but I wouldn't use anything under 3/4 inch diameter for that application
  4. The NC formats we have now it doesn't work. Is this possible to achive?
  5. We used a sandvic 880 insert drill in a super invar job because the rep said it would work for plunging. It did, but it sounded like crap
  6. Maybe to save some characters to fit in the machine? I use it all the time even on a chamfer because I don't feel like clicking the dialogue box lol.
  7. I worked with a guy who programmed all his endmills .499 ect. He used computer all the time. He also had a part with two separate programs with the same setup. 3 tools each. The part had a boss that was roughed and a hole was spotted then removed to run the other pieces. Then the second program would drill and tap the hole and finish the boss. I think he didn't want to touch off more than 3 tools
  8. Wear. I use off once and a while too for roughing a notch or as a facing cut
  9. Must have been a flight safety part. Once the process is approved your stuck with it unless you get it re certified
  10. I think I will try this with my rwp fixture assemblies. I accidentally saved my whole program into one
  11. We used to have a few older programs with a combination of control and wear. I never ran them but there were a few times the value wasn't imput and parts were scrapped.
  12. Internal threads only the minor is a little bigger. The tap is the same
  13. If your using a 213 drill its probably too tight. Buy a 5.5 mm drill.
  14. What was the minor diameter of the holes after they were tapped. If its small use a bigger drill. .0005 will make a difference in the formed minor
  15. You can pick a file to punch out through the manual entry
  16. You have a lot less tolerance with a form tap on the hole diameter. you should not be hand tapping with a form tap either ,it is going to be very hard you can peck tap if you want what kind of material
  17. Can The Tool Room manager really tell you to do that or is he just giving you his opinion?
  18. You can also set it in the control definition to add zero to tool offsets. If you have an older machine that doesn't differentiate from an h or d the post option will override t1 h1 d31 for example
  19. I believe you can get to it with the exclamation point in the files setting tab. Someone may have unchecked it then hit the save button to save it to defaults
  20. Check it in the defaults settings so it will be pre checked on new files or paths
  21. We have x9 so I don't know if my experience will be he same for you I tried 3 at once and they all loaded, but it seemed a little longer than starting only one. I did 4 as fast as I could individually and they worked fine. Our computers all use the same username.
  22. We have 5 stations with a net hasp and haven't noticed this. I can try tomorrow to launch a few at once. But 25 license checks at once may clog it up I suppose. Not sure what actually happens during this. Could be encryption or other fancy IT lingo
  23. Is there a scale factor hidden in a dialog box somewhere?
  24. Which cd.? We use complete but I wouldn't mind messing around with it in mastercam
